Hi, I am trying to batch create communities in DSpace from command line on a Redhat server. The server is a RHEL6 and the installation is a vanilla DSpace 4.2.
I am able to get information about existing Communitites in my DSpace installation with a curl command like this: curl -i -H "user:usern...@something.uib.no" -H "pass:XXXXXX" -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -X GET "http://localhost:8080/rest/communities"; The result is given out: > [{"id":1,"name":"IT > avdelingen","handle":"123456789/1","type":"community","link":"/rest/communities/1","expand":["parentCommunity","collections","subCommunities","log > o","all"],"logo":null,"parentCommunity":null,"copyrightText":"","introductoryText":"felles","shortDescription":"ITA","sidebarText":"","countItems":1,"collections":[], > "subcommunities":[]}] But, when I try to POST data, I can understand how it should be done. I am trying to do something like this: > curl -X POST -i -H "user:usern...@something.uib.no" -H "pass:XXXXXXX" > -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{'communityId':'1','name':'A > test community','shortDescription':'Community created with JSON'}" > "http://localhost:8080/rest/communities"; which might not be the correct way. I have tried others also. The answer from Tomcat is: > HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed > Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 > Allow: GET,OPTIONS,HEAD > Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8 > Content-Length: 1034 > Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2015 13:13:12 GMT > > <html><head><title>Apache Tomcat/6.0.24 - Error > report</title><style><!--H1 > {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:22px;} > > H2 > {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:16px;} > > H3 > {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:14px;} > > BODY > {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:black;background-color:white;} > B > {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;} > P > {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;background:white;color:black;font-size:12px;}A > > {color : black;}A.name {color : black;}HR {color : > #525D76;}--></style> </head><body><h1>HTTP Status 405 - Method Not > Allowed</h1><HR size="1" noshade="noshade"><p><b>type</b> Status > report</p><p><b>message</b> <u>Method Not > Allowed</u></p><p><b>description</b> <u>The specified HTTP method is > not allowed for the requested resource (Method Not > Allowed).</u></p><HR size="1" noshade="noshade"><h3>Apache > Tomcat/6.0.24</h3></body></html> The documentation that I try to follow (and understand) is this one: * https://jspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DSPACEAPI/POST_communities Can someone please point me in the right direction in how to be able to POST to DSpace API to be able to create communities (and other elements later on)? My goal is to be able to create from another data source maybe a couple of hundreds or thousands communities in 1 DSpace installation, and I can not do this by the xmlui web interface, because it would take way to much time.
