Hi Simon,
I didn't know about the authentication step in GAST. That would be why the
sample data load was failing. Thanks for that.
Cheers,
Steve

Hi Andy,
Template metadata is stored in the table METADATA. The column
'istemplate' is set to 'y' to indicate a template record. From a fresh
install I get 9 template records (note: I work off the BlueNetMEST
branch in the sandbox so my results may differ a little from yours).I have never got the sample record setup to work, just assumed it was
a bug somewhere and never really went looking. The failure may be
timing related. Perhaps try exiting GAST after creating the tables and
then starting the server, then run GAST and add the sample data.
Hi Stephen & Andy,
In the BlueNet MEST version of GeoNetwork there are 5 templates
installed on database setup and 15 sample records installed as part of
the sample data so I think you must have got your sample record setup to
work somehow Stephen! If you are using gast to setup the database and
load sample data then pay attention to the icons at the top right hand
side of the panels - for Database->Setup, geonetwork should be stopped
but for Database->Sample data, geonetwork needs to be running and you
need to have authenticated using the Options pull down in gast (sorry if
you've been through all this before).
This has always worked reliably for me (in gast and on install) so I'm
interested in whether there are bugs outstanding on this.
Why? It has to do with Lucene (Apache open source indexing framework).
Lucene is used to create and maintain keyword indexes for metadata
records. You are correct, when first started the indexes do not exist
and as part of the server startup the indexes will be rebuilt. You
should see something like this during the first server startup:exception while opening lucene index, going to rebuild it: no
segments* file found in
org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory@anonymised.com:\dev\workspace\BlueNet\dist\web\geonetw
ork\WEB-INF\lucene:
files:
rebuilding lucene index
The index rebuild can take some time, in my case it's around 10
minutes with ~2000 metadata records.
10 minutes! Wow - I guess it depends on how extensive these records are,
how slow the machine you're running it on is and where the database is
but re-indexing approx 1450 ISO19139 marine records (mysql and oracle
10g) is typically quite a bit less than 60 seconds on our server
machine. More details on why this takes so long would be nice!
Cheers,
Simon
You may also want to check your directory permissions. The server
process needs write permissions to
/usr/local/geonetwork/web/geonetwork/WEB-INF/lucene and other
locations below geonetwork (e.g. images).Cheers,
Steve

XML [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]Hi Stephen,
Thanks for getting back. And thanks too for the tip about the
installer having an ant script for itself. I hadn't spotted that, and
using this will give me the confidence that I'm doing everything else
right.I've now tried installing using a freshly built installer jar file (as
above), but the template menu remains empty. This is despite a
seemingly successful set-up of the database using the GAST (the log
for this is given below). When it says "Adding tempate file", is there
a table in the database which I could check to ensure it was added
successfully?Also, not sure if it's related, but I'm still getting the following
error when inserting the sample data:no segments* file found in
org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory@/usr/local/geonetwork/web/geonetwork/WEB-
INF/lucene:
files:
I'm guessing this is because it's a fresh install and there's no
previous data in Lucene (?).Is there anything else I can check? Your help is very much appreciated!
Andy

Hi Andy,
Templates are stored in the database. If building from source you
still need to run the Gast tool at least once to create the database
schema and populate key tables. There is an Ant script in the
installer directory you can run to create the install jar file.Not sure why you would copy bin, csw or gast to Tomcat (web is
required). Richard Walker has created some documentation you might
find useful, see
http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/wiki/HowToRunUnderTomcat .Regards,
Steve

*Subject:* [GeoNetwork-devel] Empty Template List on Admin->New XMLHi All,
Just wondering if anyone can help...
Why is it that when I install a packaged, stable version of GeoNework
(ie. using "java -jar geonetwork-install-2.2.0.jar"), everything is
dandy and I get a /populated /list of templates in the "New Metadata"
admin page ... but when I build from SVN and copy the created
directories (ie. bin, csw, gast, web, etc.) to Tomcat, the same
"Template" list is empty?The reason I'm trying to build from SVN is to make use of the recently
added support for entering ISO 19119 data.Perhaps I need to build an installer jar file (e.g.
geonetwork-install-2.3.0.jar) which I run using "java -jar ..." ?Any advice or recommendations would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Andy
