RE: [GeoNetwork-users] FW: geonetwork metadata import problems

Ok maybe its not this, cos when I look at the apache test page, I am able to see geonetwork running…do you think it’s the format of the ESRI xml file? I made sure to use the ISO template.

When we click the validate button in batch import we get the error “SAX2 driver class org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser not found:

When we leave the validate button unchecked, we get the ‘root element not set’ error.

Cheers

Craig

Jeroen,

I think its some problem when we try to link geonetwork to tomcat i.e. when we copy the web folder from geonetwork to the tomcat web apps directory. I ma not sure we are copying the correct directory, do we have to rename it to ‘geonetwork’ or does it stay as ‘web’ folder?

Cheers

Craig

Yes it does. We tried straight on the server and it gives the same errors but “Root element not set” seems to occur more often if we try straight on the server…

Cheers

Hi Craig,

Can you try the process from server to server (same machine) and see if the same problem occurs?

Ciao,

Jeroen

Hi All,

I have geonetwork up and running on our server with windows 2003 server and apache.

When I try to batch import metadata, I get various errors such as ” Directory not found”; “Root element not set” or “SAX2 driver class org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser not found”

Do you know what the problem could be?

I am trying to batch import the metadata from my PC to the server.

Attached is an example of the metadata that was originally created using the ISO template in ArcCatalog.

Thanks

Craig

Yes, I'm sure it is. The only way to import that correctly would be to convert that input using an XSL transformation. I know some people have been working on these XSL stylesheets to convert the ESRI XML into ISO19115 DIS. If we would have such a file, it can be added to the GeoNetwork installation and you can import them immediately. Anyone?
Ciao,
