Re: [GeoNetwork-users] XML File Upload vs. XML Copy/Paste

[Cristian C. <cri...@gm...>]

No input on this issue I am having ? I have had a closer look and
noticed different services are run for an upload compared to a
copy/paste:

- metadata copy/paste runs service 'metadata.insert.paste'
corresponding to class '.services.metadata.Insert'.
- metadata upload runs service 'mef.import' corresponding to class
'.services.mef.Import'.

The same piece of metadata validates ok on upload but fails validation
on a copy/paste insert. In the case it fails I see schematron
validation errors in the logs while there is none when it succeeds.
There is also the confusing message saying schematron validation
succeeded, yet metadata is invalid.

Any ideas ?

Regards,
Cristian
