[GeoNetwork-users] Connecting to GeoNetwork CSW from ArcMap

hi all,

I just tried the steps outlined in Jeroen's recent blog post (here:
http://www.ticheler.net/node/19). Was able to successfully connect to the
Dutch National Georegistry example, and now I am trying to get a similar
successful result from a local test installation of GeoNetwork (2.4.2) that
just has 12 metadata records.

The URL I'm using is like this:

http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/srv/en/csw/?service=CSW&request=GetCapabilities&version=2.0.2

and I set the same profile as the example of "GeoNetwork CSW 2.0.2 APISO"
but I am getting an error like this:

Failed to connect with Catalog:
Name cannot begin with the ' ' character, hexadecimal value 0x20 Line 87
position 24

I vaguely understand that this error is caused by a space character, but I
don't know where to look to fix this (despite line numbers)... can anyone
point me in the right direction?

thanks,

Tanya

Hi all,

For the record, I was able to find the mistake in my URL that was causing
the error in ArcMap. The error was the "/" character before the"?". When
this was removed, the connection was made just fine. So the correct URL was:

http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/srv/en/csw?service=CSW&request=GetCapabilities&version=2.0.2<http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/srv/en/csw/?service=CSW&request=GetCapabilities&version=2.0.2>

many thanks for the cool tool - I can see this getting a fair amount of use
in my organization,

Tanya
