Known Issues

System Environment

  • Apache Tomcat 6.0.13 and earlier not supported. If used, when users access certain pages (Register Network Resource, the Search page), they'll be redirected to the Home Page. Logfile will show an error that the EL expression cannot be parsed. This is a known issue with Apache Tomcat. Workaround is to use later version of Tomcat; recommended is version 6.0.32 and higher.

Discovery

  • There are known issues with previewing various WMTS implementations. Please submit ones that work poorly to the [issues](https://github.com/Esri/geoportal-server/issues?state=open).
  • The ability for a WMS service to be previewed will depend on the projections supported by the service specified for the Geoportal Search map. See the Important Notes in the Changing the Map Service Topic for details.
  • When the thumbnail in metadata is not found, an empty image displays in the search result/details page.
  • Thumbnails with partially encoded URL reference (e.g., http://www.testserver.com/images/Note%20the%20encoding%20here/but no encoding here.JPG), the h:graphicImage java server faces component renders the link with plus signs in the spaces. Workaround is to use fully encoded URLs in thumbnail links.
  • Searching ArcGIS.com through federated search allows users to choose Live Data and extent for a search criteria, but these have no effect on the search request submitted to ArcGIS.com.
  • KML and KMZ file having html code in CDATA section as a description does not get rendered properly and show the html string as opposed to the rendered html.
  • KML files that use a geometry other than points or rectangles (e.g., lines, other polygons) will not be rendered properly on the Preview page.
  • When a document title is long with no spaces, HTML rendering does not wrap the title in search results. BeNiceAndUseSpacesPleaseAsOpposedToCamelCaseSinceNotAllOfUsAreDevelopers.
  • When OntologyService.war is deployed in IBM Weblogic without unzipping the .war file, the Ontology service does not return related terms.
  • For metadata records published with the first letter of their title being a diacritic letter, the records will be sorted with diacritic titles below the non-diacritic titles if Search results are ordered by title.

Publishing

  • The Geoportal calendar widget does not work properly if a server is set with different locale in JVM such as the Buddhist calendar.
  • When metadata status gets updated with the checkbox "Apply action to the entire result set", the status change gets updated in the lucene index when the next synchronization (to sync between lucene index and database) process runs and finishes.

Synchronization

  • For CSW protocol, incremental Synchronization will not reharvest metadata that have been deleted from admin interface.
  • If a repository doesn't support last updated date info, Incremental sync will act like full sync.
