[GeoNetwork-users] Harvesting Problem XML Parser - a bug?

[Martin H. <mar...@wh...>]

Hello list,

I have a problem with harvesting a csw catalogue and I think it's a
problem with the xml-parser in the csw harvest engine. When i try to
harvest a csw node I get an error message in the logfile:

2011-10-19 11:02:55,616 WARN  [geonetwork.harvester] - Error parsing
metadata: org.jdom.JDOMException: XPath error while evaluating
"gmd:fileIdentifier/gco:CharacterString": XPath expression uses unbound
namespace prefix gco: XPath expression uses unbound namespace prefix gco

In the metadatasets the namespace for gco
(xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco) is declared in
<gmd:fileIdentifier> and not in <gmd:MD_Metadata>, but I think  it's a
valid xml.

When I try to harvest this metadataset with local filesystem harvesting
I get this metadataset in my catalogue. So I put the namespace
(xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco) from <gmd:fileIdentifier>
to <gmd:MD_Metadata> and harvest the new xml over another catalogue via
csw. This works.

test_nicht_valide.xml: no harvesting over csw possible, over local
filesystem harvesting it works
test_nicht_valide_korrigiert_1.xml: it's possible to harvest this
metadataset over csw

Thanks for help

Regards
Martin
