TopCAT with ICAT 4.1 compatability is available for download

[antony...@stfc.ac.uk]

A new war file for TopCAT is available for download
http://topcat.googlecode.com/files/TopCAT-1.3.tar

There are still a couple of outstanding issues relating to the 'Advanced Search' panel
1 'Data File Name' search is always case sensitive
2 'Sample' cannot be used with 'Data File Name' or 'Rb Number/Visit Id'
3 'Rb Number/Visit Id' only uses run number, this requires the data file to have a parameter of 'run_number'
4 'Grant Id' is ignored as grant_id has been removed from ICAT 4.1

Thanks for this new release.

I also found some issues:

- FileSize is always reported as 0 MB. I checked my ICAT Datafiles and they have a size of 72000385 Bytes (~ 69 MB).

- Dataset Status shows just a String representation of boolean (false/true). I hereby wish to propose replacing this with expressions like 'in progress' and 'complete' or 'finished'?

One more issue but I am not sure wether it is a problem in TOPCAT or on my side,

because in the previous release of ICAT 4.0 it did not work.

I added DatafileParameters to Datafiles and when I want to view them in TOPCAT

I always get the message "No Parameters". Using the ICAT API I can see that my information was populated.

Can you please verify this?

Best.

Yes I think that this is an issue in TopCAT
