unable to delete a file attached to a metadata

[landry]

We heavily use files attached to metadata in our geonetwork 2.8.0rc0 instance. Attaching a file works fine, but removing it through the 'delete' button next to thefile name is impossible, the operation fails with a 'ServiceNotAllowedEx : Service not allowed' exception popup.

The workaround we've found so far is to remove the whole <gmd:CI_OnlineResource> subtree (which as a sidenote doesnt delete the file from the metadata_data directory on the server) , and reupload the file with a different name.

Interesting thing, after uploading a file, there's a resources.get call made with an empty fname, leading to a backtrace in the log. Related ?

Attaching geonetwork logs for file upload and removal try.

Worked for me on latest nightly build.

There have been a lot of updates since 2.8.0RC0 - may want to try the current nightly build to see if the issue exists.

Forgot to say this was with the widgets/extjs gui, if that can matter. I'll retry with a fresh build from 2.8.x branch.

Right, after pulling from the 2.8.x branch and rebuilding, resources.del.new correctly removes the file from the datadir, and unhooks it from the xml.

There's still a GET /geonetwork-private/srv/fre/resources.get?id=253&fname=&access=public without fname set that triggers a 500 code and a BadParameterEx exception, but i suppose that's not a big deal. closing the ticket.

I've been able to reproduce the issue with 2.8.0rc2 - will try to go deeper to find the root cause and the exact steps to reproduce.
