[IPT] All space-characters in metadata are replaced to plus-character

[Tero Mononen]

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.


BR,
Tero Mononen

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,
