[GeoNetwork-devel] stumped by MEF import error "Root element not set"

Wolfgang_Grunberg · November 4, 2009, 10:25pm

I am stumped by a "Root element not set" error when importing my MEF files through the metadata insert form, the batch metadata upload form, and when submitting the MEF file to /srv/en/xml.metadata.insert (GeoNetwork 2.4.1). The metadat.xml is ISO 19139 schema valid and I can't see anything wrong with my info.xml.

What am I missing?

Following is the error for my multipart/form-data POST to /srv/en/xml.metadata.insert. I ahve attached an example MEF

My bad. I referenced a CSW name space that is not part of ISO 19115 (leftover from my CSW insert transaction xsd).

hey, you get the error if you select the wrong schema type. Make sure you
select the correct one before you upload. Hope that helps.
