#284: Near-useless error

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Today I loud up my dev geonetwork to confirm some stuff for one of my
other bug reports for you. The first thing I do is click "search" with a
blank field, this should return public templates of course.
What I get instead is two javascript alert messages.
The first says (sans quotes):
"undefined"
The second says (with trailing brace):
"ERROR)"
I look at the console and see the usual error gibberish stuff and start
panicing because I'm 100% sure I haven't changed in several days. Long
story short I eventually notice an INFO level that's saying it failed to
open a db connection. Turns out that my database (Oracle) is offline, so
nothing to do with GeoNetwork.
But this brings up two issues:
a) The user-level error was 100% useless. Two javascript alerts mean
nothing. May I suggest a message like: "Database connection could not be
established. <br \> Please contact your administrator. We apologise for
the inconvenience."
b) The administrator-level error isn't much more useful. Everything that
is an "ERROR" level event in the console is gibberish - I just got lucky
noticing the "INFO" level event which actually appears before the
"Started... localhost:8080". Administrator-level errors would be nice to
allow fixing of any issues such as lack of database connection etc. (I
realise the errors at present are developer-level).
I suppose this could be considered an "enhancement" instead of a bug.
Semi-relatedly - Unfortunately until I get my Oracle fixed I can't check
some of the issues relating to bugs I've reported that you folks are
studiously working through (good work btw 
).
