Ciao Simone,
Thanks,
Do you think it is possible to include the prototype.js in the existent beta
2 pages? Or is better to reinstall the beta 3?
Yes. Edit the file web/xsl/header.xsl and add the prototype inclusion just after
the line:
<script type="text/javascript" src="{/root/gui/url}/scripts/form_check.js"/>
Also, to share with other users, I had a problem trying to make the beta 2
working on mysql database. The GAST tool kept throwing an error saying the
mysql driver was missing. After trying to reference the driver for Tomcat
the only way to make it work was to put it into the folder
geonetwork/web/WEB-INF/lib following the paper at
http://mimis.simos.googlepages.com/Geonetworksetupsupportingmulti-langu.pdf.
I don't know whether it is a problem relating to the Linux distro I am using
(Gentoo) or if it is something it should be done in any case.
Actually it is not a bug. Up to now, geonetwork has the jdbc drivers for the
embedded dbms (mckoi) and for postgresql. Maybe we should add the drivers
for mysql and oracle but this has some drawbacks:
- the application gets bigger as soon as more drivers are added
- the drivers should be kept in sync
- drivers not supported must still be downloaded and copied into WEB-INF/lib
- a not skilled user could have problems trying to upgrade a non recent driver
because he could not remove the old one.
It is not clear to me which is the best strategy.
Cheers,
Andrea
Cheers
Simone

Yes, it is a bug and has been fixed now. The problem was related to the
embedded dbms which did not rise the error.

There is a missing prototype.js inclusion in both user editing and metadata
creation pages. They have been fixed in beta3 so try that one (but maybe the
first bug is still there).

PS: I tried to answer you but my emails came back. Here was my answer:
you need Java 1.5 from Sun. Java 6 has not been tested. Regarding Tomcat,
any version >= 5.5 should be ok.
