Uploaded Plugin Profile does not work

[heikki]

I have a Plugin Profile that works fine if I manually put it in web/geonetwork/xml/schemas before starting GeoNetwork.

But it doesn't work when you upload it:

• I made a zip file of it and uploaded that; it got unzipped in web/geonetwork/schemaPlugins

• the profile was listed in the admin page, where I could successfully load the templates from my profile

• going to New Metadata, the names of the templates of this profile are not displayed (Ext GUI);

• selecting one and trying to create a metadata from it fails, because it tries to load XSLTs from its base ISO19139 schema from the web/geonetwork/schemaPlugins directory (where they aren't) instead of from the web/geonetwork/xml/schemas directory:

  Error at xsl:include on line 7 column 57 of update-fixed-info.xsl:
    XTSE0165: java.io.FileNotFoundException:
    /web/geonetwork/schemaPlugins/iso19139/convert/functions.xsl (The system cannot find the path specified)
  

• schemaplugin-uri-catalog.xml *was* updated with lines like

    <uri name="blanks/metadata-schema07.xsl" uri="../xml/schemas/iso19139.myprofile/present/metadata-iso19139.myprofile.xsl" />
    <uri name="blanks/metadata-schema07-edit.xsl" uri="../xml/schemas/iso19139.myprofile/present/metadata-iso19139.myprofile-edit.xsl" />
  

• finally I tried manually moving the profile directory from web/geonetwork/schemaPlugins to web/geonetwork/xml/schemas, and restart. Now the home page doesn't show up anymore because it is looking for my profile in web/geonetwork/schemaPlugins:

  Error at xsl:include on line 12 column 52 of metadata-utils.xsl:
    XTSE0165: java.io.FileNotFoundException:
    
    /web/geonetwork/schemaPlugins/iso19139.myprofile/present/metadata-iso19139.myprofile.xsl (The system cannot find the path specified)
  

So to summarize, it seems there is some confusion when a Plugin Profile is uploaded as to whether it is or should be in web/geonetwork/xml/schemas or in web/geonetwork/schemaPlugins.

Tried : I tried the same, but with the example files I downloaded with the schemaPlugin. I tried the schema iso19139.mcp-1.4 and iso19139.anzlic. The result for both of the example schemes are the same as described by heikki.

Before uploading a schema, GeoNetwork "works". After uploading a schema, GeoNetwork doesn't do anything any more, except showing the error on every page, not only the admin page.

Noticed : I also took a look on the location of the uploaded schema. In my case (I run the geonetwork.war under tomcat), this seems to be:

/usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/geonetwork/usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/geonetwork/WEB-INF/data/config/schema_plugins/iso19139.mcp-1.4

Which is awkward (the part of the usr/share/tomcat6/webapp/geonetwork path is double!).

Undo : To get geonetwork working again, I have to delete the whole geonetwork dir under tomcat and redeploy the war (thus throwing away all data caused by the upload of the schema).

Exception : Here I put the exception from the geonetwork.log. It seems it isn't looking at the place where the schema has been put (see the awkward path above) and, there seems to be a slash missing in the path, I see "schema_pluginsiso19139.mcp-1.4" in the path in the logging.

I referred to heikii for the error, but I meant taniapf on ​http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/personalized-schema-plugin-error-td4667319.html (sorry for the mixup).

Thus: I used schemaPlugin to create the iso19139.mcp-1.4.zip and iso19139.anzlic.zip and upload it via the administration page to GeoNetwork. After that, the TransformerConfigurationException appears.

Tried : I tried the same, but with the example files I downloaded with the schemaPlugin. I tried the schema iso19139.mcp-1.4 and iso19139.anzlic. The result for both of the example schemes are the same as described by heikki.

Actually this is a different bug to Heikki's original but it is fixed in svn rev 8955 - the bug you have found is restricted to cases where the schema is uploaded as a zip file - it was triggered during changes for geonetwork data dir.

(Also note that iso19139.mcp-1.4 depends on iso19139.mcp - you need to upload both schemas for these to work).

[sha]

Confirm. The problem I had is indeed fixed with the new revision. I had revision 8948 or so, one or two days before the 8955.

Re-jig the schemamanager design to remove the distinction between plugin and built in schemas - all schemas can be plugged in now and they all live in the same place - the data directory(specifically data/config/schema_plugins).

See svn rev 8986
