Great.
I have one important point to add (because it took me a while to find
it):
To achieve the "recursive crawling" that I needed, I had to make sure
that "StandardCatalogBuilder" is called with a "new
BooleanCatalogRefExpander(expandAll = true)". I did notice that
StandardCatalogBuilder was called from two places (DirectoryScanner
and DatasetScanCatalogBuilder) but the existing code and test calls
had expandAll = false.
Yes, sorry about that, the documentation is a bit sketchy. I've added
that to my documentation list.
We don't do any recursive crawling in the TDS (users end up stepping
through one collection level at a time) and, as you say, it looks like
all our tests are for single level catalogs. I believe that some of our
code uses DirectoryScanner to build multilevel catalogs. So, hopefully
you won't run into any bugs in the building of multilevel catalogs. Let
me know if you do.
Ethan
