[GeoNetwork-users] '???' added to 'sources' table on single/multiple XML file import

Hi GN Developers,

Using GN 2.6.3 a '???' is added to the 'name' column of the 'sources' table whenever a single XML file or multiple XML (batch) file import is done. It appears to be because the source XML file has no siteName so the program inserts a '???' instead for the name column and the local siteID (uuid) into the uuid column. The side effect of this bug is that a '???' appears on the Advanced Search->Restrict To->Catalog drop down list which is confusing as this list will already have an entry containing the local siteName.

I shown this issue to Craig Jones a BlueNet Geonetwork developer in Australia. Craig has kindly written a patch to fix this issue. The patch has been tested and it works with the BlueNet Geonetwork and should work with
trunk as the code base is the same.

For more details see ticket #435 for this on the Geonetwork trac at http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/ticket/435. The patch is attached to the ticket.

Thanks,
Andrew Walsh
