[Dspace-tech] Two more questions regarding handles
First, and most important, Handle.net is not resolving my prefix. I know it's probably a problem on my end. My firewall is open for incoming and outgoing on the appropriate ports. However, I keep getting this error in my handle server error log: 2008/10/08 11:41:54 CDT 100 class net.handle.server.HdlHttpInterface: Error setting up server socket: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address Any ideas as to what might be causing this? Second, when I first set up my handle configuration, I accidentally had a small bit of whitespace after the prefix in dspace.cfg. Now, every item i add has a handle prefix that looks like this: handle/10392 /11 Any ideas as to how I should go about correcting this?

Re: [Dspace-tech] current status of UTF-8 in dspace and XML-UI / Manakin
Hi Stuart, I'm replying to the list in case this helps anyone else, or, more probably, in case someone can point out the stupidity of my workaround when importing items. What problems are you suffering exactly? Funky characters showing up instead? If you take a look at http://hdl.handle.net/10289/875, the dc.identifier.citation field uses macrons (eg. Māori). We've had no real problem with this. That's Dspace 1.4.2, JSPUI. I didn't have a lot to do with content on the server I've linked to there, but I've recently been importing large numbers of theses and dissertations from an ADT repository to a test Dspace server, and have had to convert a lot of UTF-8 characters like vowels with macrons and umlauts into their HTML equivalents to satisfy org.dspace.app.itemimport.ItemImport. A Maori macron a is #257;, for example. This might have very bad side effects when any non-HTML manipulation or indexing of metadata is going on, so I welcome any criticism or pointers there. (For instance, authors' names with umlaut-u in them display fine when browsing by title or after a search, but click that author's name to start a new 'browse by author', and the character becomes garbled and no search results are found.) It also doesn't really address your problem specifically, as you aren't necessarily using ItemImport. Feel free to reply offlist. Cheers, Kim Quoting stuart yeates [EMAIL PROTECTED]: We're having issues with UTF-8 in our UI. A great many of the metadata fields and controlled vocabularies contain characters that aren't in the ISO-latin character sets, principally vowels with macrons. I've looked fairly closely at our install and I don't think we've done anything too stupid. Looking at the mailing lists, there's a post blaming the issue on the DatabaseManager and suggesting a fix http://www.mail-archive.com/dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net/msg04163.html Is this still the current status? cheers stuart -- Stuart Yeates Te Pātaka Kōrero o Te Whare Wānanga o te Ūpoko o te Ika a Māui http://www.nzetc.org/ New Zealand Electronic Text Centre http://researcharchive.vuw.ac.nz/ Institutional Repository - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ DSpace-tech mailing list DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ DSpace-tech mailing list DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech
