MDQ

[Les LaCroix]

Donald,

...the thinking is to initially configure MDQ for "All Entities"


IIUC you're reading the "Retrieving metadata as aggregates" section, which
lists URLs that can be used with the FileBackedHTTPMetadataProvider in lieu
of the old URLs.  If you replace the URL in your legacy configuration, I
believe that all you are doing is creating an equivalent file using a new
source URL.  In my mind, that's not really "configuring MDQ".  Configuring
MDQ would be defining a DynamicHTTPMetadataProvider to use the InCommon MDQ
service, along with removing (or commenting out) the
old FileBackedHTTPMetadataProvider stanza for the old way of acquiring
metadata from InCommon.
