Re: [GeoNetwork-devel] Jeeves fix

[heikki <tro...@gm...>]

It could of course be filtered out and logged, but at the level of Jeeves
DBMS select it's not so obvious how to add a warning message to the HTML.

For the general user the effect would be the same as now, i.e. you get an
incomprehensible error message :-)

Anyone has an idea how to go about that adding warning messages to HTML when
you detect something in a Jeeves select ?
