[Dspace-tech] Pdf problems

2007-09-20 Thread Mika Stenberg
Hi,

We are experiencing increasing difficulties in opening pdf- files via 
Dspace / Manakin.  This is beginning to look like a serious problem 
which affects the overall usability of the software. The problem exists 
both in Manakin UI and Dspace UI.

If someone has any suggestions how to make pdf files open in browser, 
please let me know.

You can see a demo of such problem at:

Thanks, 
it will be very usefull to give me some instructions how to use it.

Is the LinkOut solution now part of DSpace distribution?

  Hi Hlias!

  I have developed a LinkOut solution for DSpace Metadata.

  You can look at an example of the result at:
  http://www.destin.be/dspace/handle/443803704/1292
  (internal links are blue, external links are green)

  This was done for DSpace 1.4.1 / 1.4.2.
  I can prepare instructions for installation if you are interested.

  Please look below at parameters added to dspace.cfg when using our LinkOut 
class...

  (As I am not in front of my personnal computer, I cannot write to the DSpace 
Developper list: please answer to this message there if you find it useful for 
you)

  Have a nice day!

Re: [Dspace-tech] Pdf problems

2007-09-20 Thread Rune Pettersen




The way pdf is opened depends on adobe-reader and the browser, 
not on the server.
The setting can be adjusted per browser I believe. Reinstall the reader
if in doubt.

Hello,

I'm a student of computer science engineering from Roma Tre university 
in Rome, my name is Daniele Ninfo. I will work on Dspace for my thesis, 
Andrea Bollini from CILEA will be my mentor. My objective is the 
introduction of Hibernate and Spring Framework, as Andrea wrote in one 
of his past mails. I'm at the beginning, today I started studying some 
documentation about Dspace, I hope to start working soon. I hope I will 
do a good job, and not to bore you all with my questions! I'm glad to 
get in touch with this community and to work for an important project as 
Dspace.

Best regards,
Daniele

Welcome,

Do not hesitate to ask questions. We love to go on and on about  
DSpace and will not find them a bore.  As for your work and  
interacting with the DSpace community, I'd recommend dropping in on  
the DSpace IRC channel and introducing yourself there as well.

[Dspace-tech] DSpace SRB Storage using Oracle

2007-09-20 Thread Ricardo Borillo
Hi all,

I'm new to DSpace and i'm evaluating configuration options for best
platform availability.
I have read SRB documentation and i reach some interesting point:


The Storage Resource Broker (SRB) is a client/server middleware that
provides clients with a set of uniform interfaces to distributed and
heterogeneous storage resources Storage resources handled by the the
SRB include the UNIX file system, archival storage systems such as
UNITREE and HPSS, and database Large Objects managed by various DBMS
including DB2, Oracle and Illustra.


It seems that i can use my Oracle database as an storage for DSpace
content (not only metadata). That's great for me, but i was unable to
locate documentation or examples showing how to configure DSpace with
SRB working with an Oracle content storage...

Please, anyone can give me some directions on this topic?

Thanks a lot!!

[Dspace-tech] OutOfMemory errors during large PDF indexing

2007-09-20 Thread Tim Donohue
All,

I'm curious if anyone out there has run into strange OutOfMemory errors 
while full-text indexing larger (10MB) PDF files in DSpace.

It usually appears as either:

Exception in thread main java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

OR

Exception in thread main java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC Overhead limit 
exceeded

I've located the main problem PDF in our DSpace instance:
http://hdl.handle.net/2142/2050

I've also done a large amount of searching/testing based on 
recommendations from various sites.   In particular, I've done a memory 
dump using JHat 
(http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/share/jhat.html), and 
it looks like the problem may reside with a potential memory leak in the 
3rd party PDFBox tool used by DSpace 1.4.2.  (In particular, it *looks* 
like PDFBox is attempting to load most/all of the textual content into a 
giant HashMap)

Here's the latest settings I've been testing on:

RHEL 4
Java 1.6.0_02
Postgres 8.1.9
DSpace 1.4.2

We also have the following JAVA_OPTS settings in place for our JVM:

JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -XX:NewRatio=2 -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

(We initially had Xmx and Xms at 512MB, but I bumped it up and we're 
still getting the OutOfMemory exception at 1GB!)

Anyone have any hints/tips or JVM settings to share?  I personally don't 
see why PDFBox would need so much JVM memory to parse a 15MB PDF.  But, 
the JHat analysis seemed to be pointing to PDFBox.

- Tim

P.S.  an example of the full error stack trace is below:

[Dspace-tech] ETD-MS management

2007-09-20 Thread Dorothea Salo
For those of us using DSpace 1.4+ to store electronic theses and dissertations:

If you're using ETD-MS metadata, how are you managing your DSpace
metadata registry? Are you placing the non-Dublin-Core ETD-MS metadata
(e.g. degree information) inside the Dublin Core schema or in a
separate one? If you use a separate one, are you putting the Dublin
Core metadata used in ETD-MS inside the new schema, or are you mixing
schemas on your ingest and display pages?

I'm about to go change my metadata registry to make ETD-MS work as
part of the Manakin-based redesign I'm working on, and I'd like to do
it in accord with best practices (or at least experience!).

Re: [Dspace-tech] Pdf problems

2007-09-20 Thread Conal Tuohy
Mika, you didn't say what the problem was exactly, so it's hard to
comment.

One problem I know of is that large PDF files may not display in Acrobat
Reader when used as a plugin to a browser. In this case, you get a
message from Acrobat saying that the file is damaged and couldn't be
opened. However, if you download the PDF and then open it in Acrobat
Reader then it works OK. If this is your problem, then you should be
aware that these problems are caused by bugs in the interface between
Acrobat Reader and the browsers in which it is embedded, and are not
bugs in DSpace. My guess would be that the bug is actually in Acrobat
Reader, in fact, since I have seen the same problem in quite different
browsers.

Although it's not really a bug in DSpace, there is a patch available to
work around the problem, by getting DSpace to send a hint to the browser
that the file should be downloaded (rather than displayed in a browser
plugin). So if this is your problem, you might like to look at this
patch:

 Hi,
 
 We are experiencing increasing difficulties in opening pdf- files via

 both in Manakin UI and Dspace UI.
 
 If someone has any suggestions how to make pdf files open in browser, 
 please let me know.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Pdf problems

2007-09-20 Thread Girija S
Dear Rune Pettersen,

We have that problem with some pdf files and in some computers.  Sometimes 
the file opens in IE explorer but not in firefox or mozilla in the same 
computer!  One way to solve this is to set the browser preferences to open 
the file with the acrobat reader and not the plugin.  Then the files open 
without any problem.

But this has to be done individually by the user at his end.  I don't know 
if this is the right solution.

Best wishes,
Girija Srinivasan

 The way pdf is opened depends on adobe-reader and the browser,
 not on the server.
 The setting can be adjusted per browser I believe. Reinstall the reader
 if in doubt.

  What exactly is the problem? The pdf opens in my browser just fine in
 Opera 9  Firefox 2 on linux.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Pdf problems

2007-09-20 Thread Mark Diggory
We have introduced a setting in the dspace.cfg that will be available  
in dspace 1.5 and also 1.4.x branch (so it might be available if we  
do decide to do a 1.4.3 release). It is only in the JSPUI at the  
moment and allows for the control of the disposition header on  
Bitstreams being downloaded, it will inform the browser to switch to  
treating the bitstream as a download to the file system vs. opening  
it in the plugin or application.

the parameter in dspace.cfg would be:

webui.content_disposition_threshold=size-in-bytes

I you have experience with working in the source

   /**
  * Threshold on Bitstream size before content-disposition will  
 be set.
  */
 private int threshold  = ConfigurationManager
 .getIntProperty 
 (webui.content_disposition_threshold);

... in method ...

 protected void doDSGet(Context context, HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,  
 IOException,
 SQLException, AuthorizeException
...

 // Response length
 response.setHeader(Content-Length, String
 .valueOf(bitstream.getSize()));

 if(threshold != -1  bitstream.getSize() = threshold)
 {
 setBitstreamDisposition(bitstream.getName(), request,  
 response);
 }

later in the class...

...

 /**
  * Evaluate filename and client and encode appropriate disposition
  *
  * @param uri
  * @param request
  * @param response
  * @throws UnsupportedEncodingException
  */
 private void setBitstreamDisposition(String filename,  
 HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response)
 {

 String name = filename;

 Matcher m = p.matcher(name);

 if (m.find()  !m.group().equals())
 {
 name = m.group();
 }

 try
 {
 String agent = request.getHeader(USER-AGENT);

 if (null != agent  -1 != agent.indexOf(MSIE))
 {
 name = URLEncoder.encode(name, UTF8);
 }
 else if (null != agent  -1 != agent.indexOf(Mozilla))
 {
 name = MimeUtility.encodeText(name, UTF8, B);
 }

 }
 catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e)
 {
 log.error(e.getMessage(),e);
 }
 finally
 {
 response.setHeader(Content-Disposition,  
 attachment;filename= + name);
 }


 }
