Hi
 
 
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

 
 
BR,
Tero

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,
 
Kyle

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?

Hi Tero,
 
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):
 
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.
 
 
BR,

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?
 
 
Best Regards,
Tero Mononen
