G'day,
(1) Fedora's search functions fail with the following error if the pid
column isn't requested as part of the result set:
javax.ws.rs.WebApplicationException:
fedora.server.errors.StorageDeviceException: Error with sql
database. The column name pid was not found in this ResultSet.
This is true of the 'search' web interface and the REST API.
Eg.
http://localhost:8080/fedora/objects?title=true&identifier=true&terms=&query=pid~demo%3A*&maxResults=20
http://localhost:8080/fedora/search?title=true&identifier=true&terms=&query=pid~demo%3A*&maxResults=20
(2) The REST API's 'findObjects' method will not return the 'format' column.
Eg.
http://localhost:8080/fedora/objects?format=xml&maxResults=9999999&pid=true&title=true&identifier=true&creator=true&subject=true&description=true&publisher=true&contributor=true&date=true&type=true&format=true&source=true&language=true&relation=true&coverage=true&rights=true&query=pid%3Duuid%3A2d9c3eaa-1f30-11de-a002-37af095b5cfc
and
http://localhost:8080/fedora/objects?format=html&maxResults=9999999&pid=true&title=true&identifier=true&creator=true&subject=true&description=true&publisher=true&contributor=true&date=true&type=true&format=true&source=true&language=true&relation=true&coverage=true&rights=true&query=pid%3Duuid%3A2d9c3eaa-1f30-11de-a002-37af095b5cfc
do not return the 'format' column even though it has values in the database.
Removing the 'format=xml' parameter returns something of type
'text/true' which looks like xml but isn't treated as such by the
browser (FF3) and can't be parsed as xml. However it does contain the
format values!
This bug is a performance nuisance since the only way to retrieve ALL
the DC values (via the REST API) is to use the
'getDatastreamDissemination' method. According to some quick tests, this
is roughly 3 times slower than a direct query on the database using
'findObjects'.
