Below is a list of changes for this release:

Below is the list of known problems currently impacting this release:

Problem: Browser Compatibility
Description: This site supports the following browsers on Windows XP/2000P platforms: Netscape 7.2, Internet Explorer 7, and Firefox 2.0. While this application may work on other browser platforms, it has only been tested on those listed here.
Workaround: None
 
 
Problem: 'clear' function does not clear spatial search selection
Description: The 'clear' button on the map applet clears the points selected on the applet, but it does not spatial selections already added to the search criteria.
Workaround: There is no way to remove a search criteria selection once it is made however, the selection may be changed simply by choosing a new one. This is the case for all search criteria including spatial.
 
 
Problem: Need more meaningful error message when db connection lost
Description:

The Sybase server had been bounced earlier in the day, but Tomcat had not been restarted, when this test was run. (Tomcat needs to be restarted each time the Sybase server is bounced.)

From the Data Pool Web home page, when the user clicked on Start Search, the following message was displayed: "Please go back and try again".

This message does not give enough information to the user regarding the nature of the problem. Message needs to indicate that the database connection has been lost, and what course the user should take (e.g., retry, and if not successful, call user services.). This is a general problem in that more error conditions need to be reasonably described to the user.

Workaround: None
