  • oaicat's implementation of ListMetadataFormats

    Just a little, tiny note: When you run oaicat's demo from war file (version 1.42 or so), you might actually get no response for ListMetadataFormats if parameter is missing. I mean you get an error message that the parameter is missing, while the spec clearly states that the parameter is optional.

    It seems that this issue has been fixed since current demo version at http://alcme.oclc.org/oaicat and also the upgraded version (available as jar and source) on my test box responds correctly.

     

  • oaicat filesystem and update

    Filesystem Structure

    I guess I will go for a filesystem populated with many small xml files. Each file contains one record in native format and would be named according to the objId, e.g.

    objId1234567.mpx
    kueId1234.mpx
    mulId12345.mpx

    There should be only one record per objId, so probably I do not need several directories although this might get very big directory.

    Updates

    I guess I could write a little perl script to update the filesystem.

  • Logging oaicat

    What happened before

    So, I gave up installing tomcat on my laptop last week or so. Instead I use my ubuntu box at home now. That gave new headaches for a few evenings, but it was solvable and now it works reliably. At first I installed oaicat.war, then updated to 1.5.57 jar distribution and today, I was able to compile oaicat from source using netbeans. I guess I got my development system running. What is the next step?

    Customaization Notes

    I guess it is time to read the customization notes again. So where to look?
