How can i completely disable the print function in ResCarta-Web?

The jsp  file that contains the print function button is called RcWebImageViewerToolbar.jsp

The line of jsp code that controls the sort is listed below.

You can simply rem out the lines by cutting the --> from the print line and replacing it below the three lines of code like...

<!-- Print 

<td>

    <a class="rc-img-vwr-toolbar-icon rc-print-icon" href="javascript:void(0);" title="${rc_web_fn:msg('rcWebImageViewer.toolbar.printButton.tooltip')}" onclick="rcPrint();"/>

</td>

 -->

Save the edited file and restart your ResCarta-Web. You may want to clear your tomcat work directory prior to restarting do insure your changes are recompiled.  ( N.B. The Tomcat Server work directory NOT the ResCarta-Web/work directory)

The default sort for the RcWebBrowse.jsp page is by TITLE only, how can I change that?

The line of jsp code that controls the sort is listed below.

Collections.sort(l, ArmadilloSearcher.ARMADILLO_DOCUMENT_COMPARATOR);

The standard TITLE search is written into ArmadilloSearcher.ARMADILLO_DOCUMENT_COMPARATOR

To change the sort we need to create a new Comparator and include the java.util.Compator in our imports.

Add the following bolded line to your imports area by opening your RcWebBrowse.jsp file in an editor.  Looking at the start of the file you should find the following lines,  Add the bold line below (remember to add the , at the end of the line).

<jsp:directive.page language=\"java\"
contentType=\"text/html; charset=UTF-8\" pageEncoding=\"UTF-8\"
import=\"
java.util.Arrays,
java.util.Collections,

java.util.Comparator,

java.util.Enumeration,
java.util.Hashtable,
java.util.Iterator, ...

then replace the default Comparator with a new one.  Find the following line of code in the RcWebBrowse.jsp file and comment it out or delete it.

Collections.sort(l, ArmadilloSearcher.ARMADILLO_DOCUMENT_COMPARATOR);

At the same spot in the file add the following lines of code...

Comparator c = new Comparator()

{

public int compare( Object o1, Object o2 )

{
final String comp1 = ((ArmadilloDocument)o1).getTitle().trim().toLowerCase()+((ArmadilloDocument)o1).getPubDate().trim().toLowerCase()+((ArmadilloDocument)o1).getVolume().trim().toLowerCase();
final String comp2 = ((ArmadilloDocument)o2).getTitle().trim().toLowerCase()+((ArmadilloDocument)o2).getPubDate().trim().toLowerCase()+((ArmadilloDocument)o2).getVolume().trim().toLowerCase();
return comp1.compareTo( comp2 );
}
};

Collections.sort(l, c);

To reflect the same sort in the RcWebImageViewer.jsp page

add the java.util.Comparator, as above

<jsp:directive.page language=\"java\"
contentType=\"text/html; charset=UTF-8\" pageEncoding=\"UTF-8\"
import=\"
java.util.Arrays,
java.util.Collections,

java.util.Comparator,

java.util.Enumeration,
java.util.Hashtable,
java.util.Iterator, ..

Then find and replace the line

Collections.sort(rcAr2DocLst, ArmadilloSearcher.ARMADILLO_DOCUMENT_COMPARATOR);

with

//Collections.sort(rcAr2DocLst, ArmadilloSearcher.ARMADILLO_DOCUMENT_COMPARATOR);
//Default title sort
Comparator c = new Comparator()
{
public int compare( Object o1, Object o2 )
{
final String comp1 = ((ArmadilloDocument)o1).getTitle().trim().toLowerCase()+((ArmadilloDocument)o1).getPubDate().trim().toLowerCase()+((ArmadilloDocument)o1).getVolume().trim().toLowerCase();
final String comp2 = ((ArmadilloDocument)o2).getTitle().trim().toLowerCase()+((ArmadilloDocument)o2).getPubDate().trim().toLowerCase()+((ArmadilloDocument)o2).getVolume().trim().toLowerCase();
return comp1.compareTo( comp2 );
}
};
Collections.sort(rcAr2DocLst, c);
// End of new comparator sort on Pubdate and Volume

The code lines above takes the TITLE and adds the PublicationDate and Volume to the sort. This is useful for serial publications where the TITLE is the same but the items may have been added to the collection out of order.

We will incorporate this into the next version of ResCarta-Web as an option in the WEB-INF/web.xml file. Until then enjoy!!!

I used the OAI perl script and the resulting xml files do not contain subject information.   I know the data is in my collection mangager view.  What's up with that?

There is a known bug in version 2.0 of the RcOai.zip 

If you use lower case text for the authority, subjects will not be extracted properly.  Please download the 

2.2 version of the ResCarta OAI kit and replace only your makeOAI.pl file.  It is case independent now.  

When I attempt to install the ResCarta Toolkit from the Windows .EXE file, I get a BOING!# sound and then nothing?

We have had this reported on certain newer Windows XP systems with more than 2 gigabytes of ram.  The work around is to install from the .JAR file.  Just download the ResCarta toolkit jar installer and double click like you would the exe file.

We have yet to determine the culprit.   We can have the same version, service pack, and updates on two similar but not exact hardware systems and see the BOING!# on one and not the other.  Hopefully we can resolve this shortly.

NOTE: It has been determined  that the Java virtual machine is taking more memory that it can use. Machines with 2 gigabytes of ram on Windows XP will take 1638 megabytes of ram for the JVM.  Any machine running Windows XP with more than 2 gigabytes of ram will exceed the XP JVM limit of 1650 megabytes.   We have corrected this problem in version 2.2.1.
