Hi Tero,
It's nice that we might be on the verge of solving this now..
When you have this working, I recommend an upgrade from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3. The upgrade is relatively painless.
To do so,
a) back up your current data directory to somewhere safe b) download the 2.0.3 war file, and rename it to ipt.war c) stop tomcat, remove ipt/ and ipt.war from the tomcat webapps folder, and add the new ipt.war file d) start tomcat, and open up the IPT in a browser e) presented with the 1st setup page, enter the location of your existing data directory f) press continue to proceed, then visit the Administration page and press the button "Publish all resources" (this may take a few moments as it will republish all resources.
Caution: There is a known bug with the upgrade where a taxonomic resources switches to type occurrence. I know that you have purely occurrence resources, but if this switch happens, just try the upgrade again but de-select the subtype (and be sure to save) for each resource before going through the steps.
Best of luck,

Hi
Only very minor updates from openSUSE to tomcat6 and kernel 2.6.34.
Tomcat from version 6.0.24-5.14.1 to version 6.0.24-5.16.1. Kernel 2.6.34.10-0.4.1 -> 2.6.34.10-0.6.1

Hi
Thank you, I made new issue (http://code.google.com/p/gbif-providertoolkit/issues/detail?id=845).
We have tested many browsers on Windows and Linux. I think the reproduction is hard because it did work on our system well and then something weird happened causing this…
Hi Tero,
What changed between it working well, and then this happening please? OS upgrades, OS changes, Tomcat upgrades, Java updates etc
The *good* news is the IPT still works - the EML is correct when accessed through Tomcat. Of course we want to fix the direct file access route, but the IPT is operating correctly through the IPT interface (e.g. http://db.digitarium.fi:8080/ipt/eml.do?r=nylander is correct )
Thanks, Tim

Dear Tero,
Can I kindly ask you to fill in a bug report on the IPT Project Site: http://code.google.com/p/gbif-providertoolkit/issues/entry
In addition to the IPT version, Java version, and Tomcat version, can you also specify the Operating System you are using (with version), as well as the browser (with version) that you are using to fill in the metadata? Out of curiosity, have you tried entering metadata through different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE)?
This will help us try and reproduce the problem ourselves so that if there is something wrong with the application we can fix it ASAP.
Thanks a lot,

Thanks Tero
Very curious indeed. The single input fields are represented with + but the description field which is a Textarea on the form is not.
We'll look more into it.
Cheers, Tim

Hi
There is the original eml.xml. Is that the only file you are interested in?

How very strange. Given this is public anyway (http://db.digitarium.fi:8080/ipt/eml.do?r=nylander) would you mind attaching the file from the filesystem please? I'd like to look at the file encoding etc.
Thanks, Tim

Dear Tim,
There’s only public example (Title: William+Nylander+lichen+collection): http://db.digitarium.fi:8080/ipt/resource.do?r=nylander
It’s interesting, eml.xml on file system contains line:
<title xml:lang="eng">William+Nylander+lichen+collection</title>
But eml via IPT/Tomcat offers line:
<title xml:lang="eng">William Nylander lichen collection</title>
It’s pure Tomcat without proxies.

Dear Tero,
Could you please provide a link to an example file? We'll investigate, but this is not a behavior I have ever seen with a Tomcat application.
Do you run any proxies or mod_jk or anything like that?
Thanks, Tim

Hi
We have used this IPT-setup without any problems till now.
System: Version 2.0.2-r3306 Apache Tomcat/6.0.24 JVM 1.6.0_29-b1
Problem: All space-characters in metadata are replaced to plus-character. For example title “foo bar car” is saved as “foo+bar+car”. It affects in every text field in metadata.
If I include at least one plus-char in a text value, it prevents the space replacement. For example “foo bar car+dar” is saved as it is.
I think this is related to Java/Tomcat/urlencode. Do you have suggestions how to fix this problem?
