[GeoNetwork-devel] Eclipse and SVN + user error

[Lionel O. <lio...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm only getting started with geonetwork and it took me a couple of days to
set everything up in Eclipse. I think others have had problems with this as
well.

I had to make a small change to Geonetwork.java line 168 to ignore svn
folders when loading the schemas:

public Object start(Element config, ServiceContext context) throws Exception
{
...

for(int i=0; i<saSchemas.length; i++)
 if (!saSchemas[i].equals("CVS") && !saSchemas[i].startsWith(".") &&
!saSchemas[i].startsWith("_"))
 {

...

I added the last condition to the if statement. This is to ignore the _svn
directory inside web\geonetwork\xml\schemas.

I can now run geonetwork from eclipse and log in successfully.

However I still get an annoying exception when starting up:

56146 [main] ERROR org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader - Context
initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean
with name 'geoServer2' defined in URL
[jar:file:/D:/workspace/geonetwork/web/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib/main-1.7.3.jar!/applicationContext.xml]:
Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is
java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: TRACE

I'm not sure what actual problems this causes but it bugs me. Anyone knows
why I'm getting this?

In a more user-related question I am trying to add a new metadata to another
installed instance of geonetwork (I mean I created this instance using the
Windows Installer).

After creating the new metadata form the vector template I get an error when
trying to save it straight away:

IllegalStateException : Element not found at ref =

Obviously I haven't entered all the necessary information to create the
metadata but it is hard to know which bit of info this particular error is
complaining about.

All I want to do is upload a shapefile and have a look at some maps. What is
the easiest way to do this?

Thanks for any help

Lionel.
