Hello,

The regular expressions used in included configuration override files
(also a problem in ANZMEST) do not match Windows paths.

So, when GeoNetwork/ANZMEST is deployed on Windows, the configuration
overrides will not take effect.

This problem can be fixed by changing '/' directory separator characters
to the '[/\\]' character set in the regular expressions in the override
files themselves.

Cheers,
Murray

Hello Murray,

I have been testing Geonetwork/ANZMEST in Windows XP environment too.

I assume you are talking about the web/geonetwork/WEB-INF/anzmest-config-
overides.xml file.

When geonetwork starts up it looks like the config. overrides are being
applied OK to files userprofiles.xml, config-lucene.xml and config-
summary.xml i.e geonetwork.log says:

2012-08-27 15:25:25,593 INFO [jeeves] - Overrides being applied to

     <item name="taxon" plural="taxons" indexKey="taxon" order="freq"
type="string" max="100" />
   </taxon>

I thought the UNIX style forward slash '/' path seperators worked
OK Windows and we don't need to change them to windows style
back-slash '\' Am I missing something here?

This makes me wonder is this issue causing some ANZMEST specific services
to
not work e.g as I reported in ticket
http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/ticket/1014
(xml_iso19139.mcp and xml_iso19139.mcp-1.4 services not working).

Simon,

Any thoughts on this?

Regards,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

It's not that forward-slash separators don't work OK in Java running on
Windows (they do).

When you enable DEBUG logging, there is a line that says something like:

Loading : C:\geonetwork\WEB-INF\config.xml

So, in the Java code, the configuration filename variable is a complete
path that contains back-slash characters. The regular rexpression:

.*WEB-INF/config\.xml

does not match against that configuration filename variable. So the
override specified by that regular expression does not get applied.

One possible fix is to change the regular expression to:

.*WEB-INF[\\/]config\.xml

(which is what I did).

Cheers,
Murray
