This is our up-to-the-minute "punch list" of items to be resolved for the 3.2 release.  We're currently aiming to release on May 8th.

Outstanding Issues

...

ISSUE-1: Ingest of demo:5,18,29,14 fail with non-fedora context

...

STATUS: Committed to trunk.  This also had the consequence of removing entirely the need to convert demo objects (script has been removed and noted in docs as 3.1 and below only) before running tests with alternate ports, hostnames, and app server context.

...

ISSUE-2: Smiley demo "list" dissemination doesn't work with non-fedora context

Wiki Markup*CAUSE:* The SDep, demo:CollectionImpl requires the "fedora" part of the path to be specified: <http:operation location="fedora/risearch\[...\]">.

ACTION:

...

• (Required) Modify Fedora so that http\[s\]/local.fedora.server/fedora/ is interpreted at runtime (and translated when appropriate at export time) with protocol://host:port/context/ and all other occurances of http\[s\]://local.fedora.server/ are interpreted/translated as protocol://host:port/
  • In content of WSDL and other "special" datastreams identified in DOTranslationUtility, when in the "migration" export context (in the same spirit as is done currently with local.fedora.server).  This solution will be backward compatible.
  • For E and R datastreamsunmigrated-wiki-markup
  • At runtime when reading the WSDL to decide which URL to send the dissemination request to.&nbsp;   In this case, "splitting up" the URL in the WSDL should work, so doing the local.fedora.server\[/fedora\] substitution should happen after the operation URL is constructed from the two places in the WSDL.&nbsp;   But it's not required for the translation at export (with "public" context) to do the replacement.
• (Required) Make sure all demo objects use this where appropriate (See ISSUE-1)
• (Required) Document this behavior where appropriate in the user docs.  Note that it's not recommended to "split up" local.fedora.server/fedora/ in the WSDL because replacement won't be done on export (with "public" context) that case.
• (Optional) Create src/test-objects to make sure it works (with possible unit tests)
• (Optional) Find a way to avoid the hardcoding of "/fedora" in the stylesheet used by the smiley demos.  Ideally, the correct URL for the images can be constructed without the stylesheet knowing where Fedora is mounted.

WHO: Aaron

STATUS: Code work is committed to trunk.  Have not looked at stylesheet yetWill probably not have time to address stylesheet, so image links in 'view' dissemination will be broken ( this is now documented as a known issue).  But at least it no longer returns a 500 error.  TODO: document in wiki.

...

ISSUE-3: System tests don't pass with non-fedora context

...

• (Aaron) I think the changes in FCREPO-487 may have fixed this.  Also note that running system tests with alternate configs has changed slightly.
  • If fedora app server context is non-default (i.e. not 'fedora'), need to set environment variable "WEBAPP_HOMENAME" to the new context name in order for tests involving commandline utils to succeed.  (Same technique enables the validator, rebuilder, etc to work without editing env-server.sh/.bat file).
  • Wiki MarkupConversion of demo objects or passing additional properties is not necessary any more.&nbsp;   Just run ant juit \ -Dtest=\[system test class A, B, Q\], and it should work automatically.
• My tests are passing now (Eddie)
• 

...

ISSUE-4: fedora-ingest-demos doesn't work with non-fedora context and usage message is incorrect.

...

STATUS: (Aaron) env-server.bat has been modified as part of FCREPO-487 to use environment variable WEBAPP_HOME NAME (if defined) to set alternate context.  If WEBAPP_HOME NAME is not set, it defaults to 'fedora'.  If that is incorrect, then the error message is the same.. I didn't change any messages

(Kai) changed error message so that it is more meaningful in case the wrong context is set.

...

ISSUE-6: Some commandline scripts not covered by tests (Kai noticed)

ACTION: Identify which ones

WHO: Kai

STATUS: ? fedora-dsinfo (DatastreamConduit)

...

ISSUE-7: Ingest and add managed datastream not working with new admin ui.

...

• (Required) Wait until the response has been received after an upload request to close the upload dialog
• (Optional) Examine the response, provide appropriate feedback a) while the upload is in progress, b) if the upload fails, c) if the upload succeeds

WHO: Bill

STATUS: Chris tested with success in Windows w/Firefox, Ubuntu w/Firefox, and OSX with Firefox and Safari.  When running remotely: had to disable the deny-apim-if-not-localhost.xml policy, as expected.  When running in Safari, had to disable popup blocking, as expected.

...

ISSUE-8: Analyzer issues  warning when running with Derby embedded

...

ACTION: Make a build.xml target for a self-contained jar distribution (with version=3.2) and note it's existence in journaling documentation.

WHO: Aaron

STATUS: TODO thursday AM  build targets created.  ant rmi-journal-receiver will build a zip file in dist containing the executable jar + a README.  TODO:Documentation on Wiki

...

ISSUE-11: ConfigA test fails with alternate context

...

java.lang.RuntimeException: Error getting Fedora Client<br/> at fedora.test.api.TestManyDisseminations.<clinit>(TestManyDisseminations.java:63)<br/>Caused by: java.io.IOException: Request failed 500 Internal Server Error : http://localhost:8080/asdf/describe?xml=true^{Image Removed}

Stacktrace yields java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe that traces back to fedora.server.access.FedoraAccessServlet.getDissemination(FedoraAccessServlet.java:816).

ACTION: Verify behavior

WHO: Eddie

STATUS: I tried this same configuration and test in WinXP this afternoon, and Ubuntu tonight and the test passed. Anyone else? - Chris

...
