[TAP] Change the internal column separator in the Text (human readable table) output. This separator has been choosen for the weak probability to be used in column values and so that avoiding confusion between a column separator and part of a column value. The column separator in the output/display stays the |.

[TAP] Add the possibility to set the FetchSize on a DB Statement for the execution of ADQL queries. It is also possible to set a fetchSize different for synchronous and asynchronous queries.

[TAP] Add a configuration file property: 'coordinate_systems'. It lets list all allowed coordinate systems. By default, the list is empty, meaning that any is allowed.

[TAP] Automatic research of the TAP configuration file is done only in the classpath, in WEB-INF and in META-INF. The rest is the Web Application directory is ignored, for security considerations (i.e. otherwise, the library would allow TAP administrators to make the configuration file public....only WEB-INF and META-INF are not public).

[TAP] Rename the property 'output_add_formats' into 'output_formats' & Correct the name of the service description in tap_full.properties.

[TAP] Default TAPSchema DB name set to the ADQL name ; so if the column TAP_SCHEMA.schemas.dbname is NULL or empty, the DB name must be set to the ADQL name. For the moment no empty schema is allowed.

[TAP] Change the default value for output and upload limits ; only negative value must mean 'no restriction' ; 0 must be a normal allowed value.

[UWS,TAP] Change the default log and backup files name. Before it was 'uws.*', but since the same FileManager is used for both services, this default name has been replaced by 'service.*'.

[TAP] Allow the TAP configuration file properties 'file_root_path' and 'metadata_file' be file pathes relative to WebContent.

[TAP] Qualify by default the standard TAP schema tables in TAP_SCHEMA.tables & Correct the primary key in TAP_SCHEMA.tables (it must be only 'table_name' and not 'schema_name, table_name').

[ALL] Update ANT build scripts to test all existings JUnit tests before compiling. In case of error, the compilation does not complete.

[TAP] Allow creation of PENDING jobs ONLY FROM the TAPFactory when the service is unavailable. Before this modification, the backup manager could not restore jobs at the service starting. When the service is said unavailable, the resources /sync and /async are rejecting HTTP requests, but jobs can be created and started in background (very useful for backup restoration but also for queued jobs).

[TAP] Add a property in the configuration file to set a custom TAPFactory (in replacement of ConfigurableTAPFactory.

[TAP] Add a 3rd possibility to set metadata in the TAP configuration file: give an extension of TAPMetadata having either an empty constructor or a constructor with a UWSFileManager, a TAPFactory and a TAPLog. & Rename function TAPConfiguration.isClassPath(String) into TAPConfiguration.isClassName(String).

[TAP] Add property to add/replace TAP resources & Add the tool function TAPConfiguration.newInstance(...).

[TAP] Add log management in the TAP configuration file. 2 additional properties have been added: min_log_level and log_rotation.

[UWS] Add a log message filter: only messages whose the level is greater or equal to a given one are displayed. This level is by default DEBUG (meaning all messages are always written).

[TAP] Add missing formats (particularly all the different VOTable serializations) in the TAP configuration file

[TAP] Add home page configuration in the TAP configuration file. (missing file: tap.resource.HomePage)

[TAP] Fix Class loading MAJOR BUG: do not use a specific ClassLoader, but Class.forName(String). The ClassLoader is different in a WebApplication than in a standalone ; TAP.fetchClass(...) worked before in a standalone but not in a WebApplication.

[UWS,TAP] Set the user who submits the request in an HttpServletRequest attribute. Thus, every TAP and UWS resources can get it without extracting the information every time from the HttpServletRequest.

[TAP] Auto deregister at servlet destruction the JDBC driver loaded by the library (only in the case database_access=jdbc).

[TAP] Fix exception management: do not encapsulate in a UWSException a TAPException whose the cause is already a UWSException ; in such case, the TAPException cause must be returned.

[TAP] Add a new database access method in the configuration file: get a Datasource from JNDI. & Better support of connection pooling (TAPFactory.countFreeConnections() has been removed ; when the creation of a database connection fails with an SQLException, it is considered that no connection are momentarily available...async jobs will be queued and all sync requests will be rejected).

[TAP] Add support for user identification in the configuration file. Besides, each time a property expected as an integer is not an integer, an exception is thrown.

[TAP] Add a parameter to limit the number of running asynchronous jobs in the configuration file: max_async_jobs.

[TAP] Add metadata support in the configuration file. Two methods to get metadata: 1/ Parse an XML file implementing the schema TableSet, and then re-build TAP_SCHEMA in the database, 2/ Get metadata from the database schema TAP_SCHEMA.

[TAP] Add an XML TableSet parser. The main modification done in JDBCConnection is about the schema prefix of table when the DBMS does not support schemas: now, only standard tables are expected with the prefix 'TAP_SCHEMA_' and the upload tables also with 'TAP_UPLOAD_'.

[TAP] Add an XML TableSet parser. The main modification done in JDBCConnection is about the schema prefix of table when the DBMS does not support schemas: now, only standard tables are expected with the prefix 'TAP_SCHEMA_' and the upload tables also with 'TAP_UPLOAD_'.

[TAP] Remove the availability fields from the configuration file. The Service will always start as available ; there is indeed no reason to start and leave it as unavailable.
