Re: [Dspace-tech] Expose DSpace as Tomcat ROOT application (was Re:First name, family name order)
Hi! Jim, After renaming the ROOT directory, Could you please suggest how to make the link from the dspace directory to ROOT to avoid copying contents. Is this using the context parameter. In the tomcat server.XML I was trying with context but was not getting through.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Expose DSpace as Tomcat ROOT application (was Re:First name, family name order)
Hello, what I did is simply rename the the dspace.war in the build_wars target in the build.xml to ROOT.war (with uppercase letters). You can even edit this manually after doing your ant update and before copying the .war file to webapps. It gets unpacked to the right directory. Am 19.07.2007 um 11:55 schrieb Jayan Chirayath Kurian: I mean !-- = -- !-- Build the .war files -- !-- = -- target name=build_wars depends=compile description=Build the .war files could you please suggest. Yes, go on, down the line. There is some clearly readable structure in an ant file just as in any XML file. That is what XML was designed for in the first place. The comments are also a great help for understanding what is going on. You are searching for the war-tag inside the target: !-- Build the .war files -- ... target name=build_wars ... !-- Build DSpace UI .war -- ... !-- Make sure jsp/local exists -- ... !-- Copy original JSPs, then copy localised versions on top -- ... !-- Build DSpace Web UI .war -- war destfile=build/dspace.war webxml=build/dspace-web.xml ... /war !-- Build DSpace OAI-PMH .war -- copy file=etc/oai-web.xml ... war destfile=build/dspace-oai.war webxml=build/oai-web.xml ... /war /target There are two of them, just as the two .war files created for the frontend and the harvester, the first of them being of interest here. The war-tag encloses other tags and carries two attributes. The second attribute specifies the webxml file to use and is named as such, but the first one is called destfile for destination file name. This is the one you are looking for. You could have come there just as easy by using your editors search function searching for dspace.war. Now do the following change: old:war destfile=build/dspace.war new:war destfile=build/ROOT.war Thats all. Using a symbolic link is also fine but I doubt that it will work with Windows shortcuts. At least on MacOS X which is a full-fledged Unix system, Java makes a distinction between symbolic links created the Unix way (which are followed as intended) and so called Aliases which are the MacOS kind of shortcuts created from the Finder and which dont work with Java apps although they look completely the same from a Finder perspective (translate Finder to Windows Explorer for your under- standing). I believe my solution is kind of dirty if you are very nitty gritty, but it is simple and serves me well. I try not make many changes to configurations all over the system because I dont have them all under version control locally and want to stay able to move my installation to another machine quickly. This is why I prefer to make changes to build.xml (which is in my svn) as to changes in tomcats server.xml.

Are you suggesting that we will support an infrastructure in DSpace to assign those via an external identifier service (currently the Handle System in 1.5, ExternalIdentifierManager in 1.6)? 2.) Are you suggesting that Internal Identifiers (currently sequence id's) will be structured differently in 1.6 such that one can assign one to a bitstream independent of the parent items identifier?

So, entirely possible for the external id to be retained by the system, but reassigned to a 'graceful fallback' state. -1 on assigning Handles to bitstreams in 'out of the box' config.

Although it isn't even the case that a repository can or should have a single way of dealing with removal of an externally identified file - the appropriate course of action would be influenced by the factors that led to the removal / replacement.

[Dspace-tech] MySQL in Dspace
I checked the tech archive to find out if there have been any discussions about using MySQL in Dspace and found none, so I will pose my question. I know Dspace is setup to be able to connect and work with either Postgres or Oracle, but has any one tried using DSpace with MySQL? Or are there any plans to make it work with MySQL? We have been using Postgres exclusively for our Dspace instance just fine, but most of our expertise is in MySQL and all our other applications use MySQL. It would be nice not have to maintain two DB engines and develop expertise in both. So I know that if we could transition to MySQL, we would. Are there any thoughts on this? Thank you!

Re: [Dspace-tech] Running DSpace in read-only mode.
Hi Ben, Two possiblities come to mind right away. Others may have more elegant solutions, that do not require DB or coding changes. 1) In the EPerson table set the can_log_in column to false for all users(except the Administrator). This assumes anonymous users can not make any changes to items (default Dspace behaviour). To allow access reset the can_log_in flag to the original values. 2) Change the authenticateInternal method in the AuthenticationManager.java class to always return BAD_ARGS or NO_SUCH_USER, etc. to prevent users from logging into Dspace. To allow access again, restore the original authenticateInternal code (and compile and deploy of course).

Does anyone know how I can set dspace temporarily to be a read only system. I will need a quick reversion to a read-write system. We're basically looking to provide access to dspace while we migrate the database and assetstore to another system.

[Dspace-tech] Handler
Hi! I am working on setting up handle for DSpace 1.4.1 (windows 2003). Run /dspace/bin/dsrun net.handle.server.SimpleSetup /dspace/handle-server In the question section, (1) Enter the TCP/UDP port no this server will listen to [2641] (2) What port no will the HTTP interface be listening to [8000] (3) Would you like to disable UDP services (y/n) [N] For Q(1), can I give 80. In tomcat server.xml, I have Connector port=80 protocol=HTTP/1.1 For Q(2), I think I have to give 80 For Q(3), is it fine to disable the UDP service? Please suggest.
