Re: [Dspace-tech] [Dspace-general] Certificate for LDAP
Hello, Am 14.01.2015 um 04:33 schrieb Olivier Nicole olivier.nic...@cs.ait.ac.th: I would like to configure DSpace to authenticate against LDAP, but I want to use encrypted ldaps. The certificate and CA I am using are self-signed, so where should I configure these (CERT and CA) for DSpace to work? Hiltons answer contains the essential information I guess, but I feel it is not that obvious what exactly is important. The first answer is, well it depends on the server setup you use. There are many different SSL libraries out there and since last years big breaks in OpenSSL even more of them arise. Each server software has a default configuration that decides which library to use. Then, these default configurations might differ for the same server software depending on the (linux/BSD) distribution you run because of the policies of this particular distribution. Distribution policies might contain decisions particularly regarding the preferred SSL Library, because SSL is such an important building block for basic system security. So, find out which library you use first. Each library requires different steps to store ceritficates, searches for them in different path and support different storage formats. It seems that there is a standard way, just because OpenSSL is so widely used. But what seems to be a standard is actually only the OpenSSL way of doing the job. If you run tomcat or jetty behind apache, then apache is the place where to search. Well, this is true for port 443, but which port is LDAP using for secure communication? Maybe that tomcat (supposed this is your container) uses OpenLDAP for requesting authentication from your central LDAP Server. Then you have to find out which SSL Library OpenLDAP uses. Apache uses OpenSSL as default on many distributions. Tomcat uses the Java specific SSL implementation JSSE as default but can be configured to use OpenSSL instead. When I finally configured our server to use SSL for login (years too late actually) I had to learn a lot about SSL and I was surprised how little documentation there was. Culprit me, I did not document my solution as well. I run Tomcat without Apache in front of it and I decided to stay with JSSE because OpenSSL was seen as a bad solution then. JSSE is a rather basic implementation I guess, but is probably not under attack the way OpenSSL is currently. The official documentation for JSSE configuration is deceiving, particularly when it comes to creating the keystore. Note that I am not talking about communication between your Servlet container and the authenticating LDAP server though, but only about login to DSpace. If it turns out that JSSE via BIO in Tomcat is your way to go and you run into trouble with that, please ask and I will look up, who I solved the issues in my instance. Bye, Christian -- New Year.

[Dspace-tech] Urgent: database layer spontaneously closing connections(…)
Hello, the impact of this issue seems to be severe in our case: Please have a look at this item: http://stadtteilgeschichten.net/handle/2339/5620?show=full compared to any other item in our DSpace, such as: http://stadtteilgeschichten.net/handle/2339/5621?show=full Obviously, we have lost most of the metadata for the first item during insertion in our database! Even required fields got lost like dc.contributor.author or dc.type. This means that the item will not be indexed, not be shown e.g. while browsing by type or when using faceted search. Obviously with this little metadata, it will also hardly be visible when searching by Google. So far I have lowered drastically the cycle of thumbnail generation, but honestly, this is solution is neither sufficient nor satisfactory. I think whether I should close login to avoid partial input altogether. But as I have no idea as of how to fix the issue, it is also a tough decision to spoil our users timetable, especially, when they have promised to fulfill a certain amount of work until the end of the year. My postgresql logfile looks like this: 2014-12-02 04:00:10 CET LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2014-12-02 08:00:05 CET LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2014-12-02 08:00:05 CET LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2014-12-02 08:01:15 CET LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2014-12-02 08:01:15 CET LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2014-12-02 10:00:09 CET LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2014-12-02 10:00:09 CET LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2014-12-02 10:00:11 CET LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2014-12-02 10:00:11 CET LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2014-12-02 10:01:14 CET LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2014-12-02 10:01:14 CET LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2014-12-02 12:00:05 CET LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2014-12-02 12:00:05 CET LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2014-12-02 12:01:13 CET LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2014-12-02 12:01:13 CET LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection Four entries every even hour means that I have two interruptions in database connection for each run of filter-media and itemcounter. Six such events at ten o'clock are caused by a third batch running at that time, generate-sitemaps, while update-discovery-index at four o'clock causes a single interruption. I dont know exactly when this has started. I dont look to these logs routinely and removal of old logs follows default rules. I can see now that it was at least the case since September, but nobody ever noticed any malfunction. Although my postgresql is in standard configuration running autovacuum regularly, I did a manual vacuum full and a reindex database and reindex system for the dspace database yesterday. These jobs finished fast without problems. The snippet of the logfile above was recorded after this maintainance. Please suggest on appropriate measures.

I captured a packet trace while running my script and can see that the client is chugging along, making requests and getting responses, then suddenly the client sends a TCP FIN, ACK packet and that's the end of that. No Pg shutdown message was sent, so far as I can tell, and that's why Pg saysunexpected EOF.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Regarding dspace installation on Cloud server
Hello, I am not used to netstat and itsoutput format, but tome it looks like there are several procceses listening on the same port. Is that possible at all? I would try to run nmap on the client to make sure the port is not blocked somehow. You telling that the browser reloads forever means that such an issue is unlikely, but just check. on the server I would use top or ps to find out more about the processes mentioned by netstat. the netstat output reports on IPv6 only. Is that right? I still suspect software like tomcat to have issues with IPv6 and would google for hints in this direction or search the apache issue tracker. I would try to get all running on standard port 8080 before switchin to another port.

There are several questions here. Why does the filter write a .ppm file and not a .jpg file using the -jpeg option of pdftoppm and when does the actual conversion happen? The task of the filter is always to produce a thumbnail image of the first page. So it would seem much more logical and robust to me to use the -singlepage attribute of pdftoppm which does not add anything to the output name besides the file extension. Instead first page -f and last page -l are set to 1. But well I would not need to bother if everything worked fine. Where does this six digit rule get set? During my tests I had produced thousands of files starting with /tmp/prevu*. Most of them ended on -1.ppm, but some of them on -01.ppm. Mysterious. I will try to produce the same fault on my test system which works fine for now, just to understand where are the differences.

For the moment, this does not help too much. All other components involved are also the same on both machines. jai_imageio is version 1.1 and jai_core is 1.1.3. As the file is hard to find in the assetstore, I downloaded it using the browser, scped it back to the server and converted it manually using pdftoppm -jpeg inputfile.pdf outputname. It worked. I exported the item containing the file using the AIP packager, transferred it to the test server running DSpace 4.1, imported it and ran filter-media there. It worked fine. I compared the installation instructions of DSpace 4.1 and 1.8.2 and could not find a significant difference regarding the XPDF Feature. The mvn package and ant update command had not shown any irregularities. File permissions in assetstore did not show any problems. On both machines, DSpace is run as the daemon user tomcat7. In both cases, I run Tomcat 7, albeit in slightly different versions. But Tomcat is not involved in running the command line tool like bin/dspace filter-media anyway. So far, I have not found a clue, where to search for the reason. If anybody has an idea, Id be grateful.

[Dspace-tech] Exporting communities or collections with bin/dspace packager -d -a … throws an error
Hello, I am using the dspace packer command line feature for the first time. My Repository runs DSpace 1.8.3 on Tomcat 7, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Postgres 9.1. Disseminating single items works flawlessly. However, disseminating whole collections or communities constantly throws the same Exception. I tried various collections or communities. The communities I tried contained two or more collections but no subcommunities. I chose collections and communities that hold about twenty items or less for now. As this is an IOException while creating a tempfile it is worth noting that my dspace user is tomcat7 who is not allowed to write to his own home directory by default in Debian/Ubuntu. This did not pose any problems for years and indeed I see this as a security advantage and a means to facilitate relocation to a freshly installed machine which happens from time to time. The filename given on the command line is touched and has a size of zero. I cant see which file the packager actually tries to create when the exception gets thrown. It is just my arbitrary assumption that the packager tries to create a tempfile in the users home directory. I also assume that a tempfile is not required for exporting a single item, even if this item contains several bitstreams. To prove whether it makes a difference, I ran the dspace packager command as root as well. Although this might not be usual operation, running the command as root makes sure that the user can write to its home directory and in fact eveery directory and file and that execution rights are available for the dspace CLI, which would not be the case for e.g. my login account. I dont like the idea of changing the dspace user on a production system. Can anybody explain me what the packager tries to do exactly when failing? Thanks for suggestions. Here comes a link to the collection I tried and a listing of several commands. First as user tomcat7, then as root.

[Dspace-tech] Customization of CC-License Step
Hello, I have a bunch of questions regarding the CC License Step during submission. We use XMLUI and DSpace 1.8.2. I browsed the Git Repository and got the impression that there havent been so many commits in this area since then, so I hope I dont ask questions that are solved meanwhile. Our goal is to make it mandatory for users of our repository to publish under either CC-BY-SA or CC-BY-ND. The task includes to contact all users who have published their items in our repository in the past and get their consent to change the license on all existing items. These license types are widely accepted by aggregators, who harvest us already or will do so in the future if we can guarantee these license terms for all our content. We welcome the gain in visibility provided by aggregators and see this as a cause to put a change into effect right now that we agree to anyway. I could imagine changing and limiting licensing options might be a task that others running a DSpace repository are faced with as well sooner or later. Limiting the number of choices opens a chance to further simplify the User Interface. Best case would be to have checkboxes for CC-License and deposit license on the bottom of the review step of the submission process, but I guess that requires more then just a little bit of configuration. At least, Id like to understand why there remain some strings that cant be localized in the CC License step. When thinking about how to fix the licenses for existing items, I stumbled across the option cc.submit.addbistream in dspace.cfg which defaults to true. It attaches a small file containing a desription of the license chosen in RDF format. When changing the license, this file requires extra work to keep it in sync with the dc.rights and dc.rights.uri fields, so I thought about what it might be good for. If keeping it offers any advantage, I will deal with that, but I am curious what it was meant for in the beginning. I cant see, that there is made use of it e.g. during OAI-export. Currently I tend to disable this feature for all future ingests as well. Please stop me from doing so if I overlook something important. After reading both CCLicenseStep.java files in either dspace-api and dspace-xmlui and playing with the creative commons api manually (http://api.creativecommons.org/docs/readme_15.html) I dont yet understand how they work their magic. When somebody chooses to ad a CC license, currently the item gets a field dc.rights.uri, filled with a value like http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/de/;. We use jurisdiction german, but I wonder why we get specifically version 3.0. International version 4.0 is current, but not yet translated to german. Can I expect the system to switch to the most current version within my jurisdiction for future items as soon as they get online without me configuring anything? The CC License page during the submission process offers a drop menu set to Select or modify your license ... as a default. May I set the option Creative Commons (standard) as a default instead? Or does its existence in the menue depend on the answer of http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/1.5/?locale=de? (besides cc.license.classfilter in dspace.cfg). Why do the following questions Allow commercial uses of your work? and Allow modifications of your work? get displayed in english including there options in the german interface? I want to translate them, but I dont know where this should be done. Also, I want to set a default option for the answers. Third, I would like to remove the question regarding commercial use completely and maybe limit the choice regarding modifications to ShareAlike or No. I could not find these questions in the messages.xml nor anywhere else in the source hardcoded. Tinkering with http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/1.5/ supplying various arguments I could not force the creativecommons.org server to supply these messages. In reading the source of CCLicenseStep.java, I found variables commercial_chooser and derivatives_chooser which probably describe just these two questions and there answering options, but I did not understand where they are read from. My catalogue of questions has grown rather large already. Thats why I stop here. Only one thing regarding the deposit license Id like to mention. It gets customized for each item by prepending a line starting with License granted by . This message is hardcoded in LicenseUtils.java and can not be translated using the messages.xml system.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Creative Commons license link broken?
Hello, Am 25.03.2014 um 18:53 schrieb Bill Tantzen wile...@gmail.com: DSpace 4.1, XMLUI I have enabled the creative commons step for a collection. Everything seems to be working fine on submission. But when I view the full record, in the Files in this item section and in the sub-section entitled The following license files are associated with this item, the Creative Commons link refers to the page it is on instead of the license bitstream. ( e.g. /handle/11299/12345?show=full ). Is this a mis-configuration on my part, or bug? As I am just thinking about how to have my depositors to agree on a new license for all there previously deposited items, I stumbled upon the same behaviour in my DSpace 1.8.3 XMLUI yesterday. Obviously, this has not changed since several years. So I guess, it is intended behaviour. From a users perspective, the behaviour is surprising and limits functionality. Note that in the item view, first there comes a text link mentioning a CC-License in general. It links back to the item itself they way you told. Then, the collection containing the item gets shown (which can be found just as good in the breadcrumbs, albeit without the collections weight) and afterwords the interface returns to the licensing aspect and the CC-Logo gets displayed (without the short form of the license). This logo is linked properly! I doubt that many people will try to click the logo after clicking the text link without success. I like the mirage theme for its clean look in general and creating an own theme turned out to be much too complicated, but the sequence described at the bottom of the item page does not make much sense to me in its current state. In your description, you did not mention that you were logged in as an admin while reviewing the item. Although this seems obvious to me, maybe this is the reason why nobody could reproduce the case and you havent got an answer for weeks. Bye, Christian -- Time is money. Stop wasting it!

[Dspace-tech] Fwd: postgreSQL Backup: -o (preserve oids) needed?
Hello, my backup command for postgres is /usr/bin/pg_dumpall -o -c -v /srv/dspace/dumpall.sql I have carried that with me since DSpace 1.3 or DSpace 1.4. Currently, I use DSpace 1.8. Now, while moving to a new machine, I revisited the section under Architecture / Storage Layer in th Documentation and could not find any hint as to why I had used the -o option at all. The oldest version of the docs that I still have stored locally is DSpace 1.4.2 and there is no mention of -o either. Had there ever been a requirement to preserve oids while backing up which has been removed meanwhile? Did this option make it into my installation by an arbitrary yet stupid inspiration of mine? Should I preserve it since it has worked so good all the time or should I skip it to make things clean and simple? Any opinion and advice appreciated.

[Dspace-tech] Plugging german controlled vocabulary GND into Mirage XMLUI theme
Hello, in a common effort german libraries have developed a controlled vocabulary of german keywords for general use. They provide a web interface to access this vocabulary and ease the search for the canonical notation of keywords in german. Obviously, the interface itself is provided in german only. This web interface is explicitly ment to be included into repository systems such as DSpace. http://xgnd.bsz-bw.de/ Before I start and hurt my brain how to tie together DSpace wit xGND in a reasonable way, Id just like to know whether somebody might have done this already and has some helpful advice on how to modify the XMLUI frontend for this purpose. We are currently using DSpace 1.8.x with XMLUI and Mirage theme and dont have plans to switch to DSpace 3.2.x within the next three or four month. So I would like to use the xGND interface from within 1.8.x / Mirage. It might be not that much of a difference which version of Mirage we use as compared to the difference between different XMLUI themes or even the JSPUI, so experience in combining xGND with Mirage in DSpace 3.2 is also very much appreciated.

[Dspace-tech] jQuery Version used - is it save to replace?
Hello, I just checked a bit and found that our instance of DSpace 1.8.2 XMLUI Mirage is using jQuery 1.6.2 which is, well, not current. I found this to be dependent on either the theme in use and the version of jQuery shipped with the DSpace sources. While the standard Kubrick theme seems to even stick with jQuery 1.2, Mirage theme references the version to use in lib/xsl/core/page-structure.xsl, line 613 explicitly. This is true for the current version of DSpace, 3.x as well: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/Mirage/lib/xsl/core/page-structure.xsl xsl:template name=addJavascript xsl:variable name=jqueryVersion xsl:text1.6.2/xsl:text /xsl:variable I guess the actual file used is taken from dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-webapp/src/main/webapp/static/js/. My question here is, would it be safe to drop at least version 1.6.4 http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.4.min.js into this directory and change the version number in page-structure.xsl, then recompile? Or is such a change prone to break a lot stuff? Would it be feasable to do a big leap and switch to jQuery 1.9? Or are there reasons not to even take care of jQuery versions at all?

Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace will not redirect to /xmlui
Hello, I dont believe such battles to be apropriate on a topic where a seemingly new user of DSpace requests help. Obviously, there are many ways to solve this issue. I guess Hiltons solution is quite a good solution, however I totally disagree with his reasoning. Debian has a rather sensible update system that wont break a thing if used properly. It indicates precisely which changes it found in the conf files it tries to replace and you should know about the changes you have made and why you did so. The apt system lets you edit and merge these changes right in place or provides you with path to work on them later. Debian is made for tailoring it to your needs. The fragment solution looks just as cute. However, I am not completely up to date regarding tomcat Dos and Donts. Tomcat is a beast of utmost configurability which leads part-time users, id est 99,95% of all admins running tomcat to not use any of its powerful features. Tomcat is also an outstanding example of overwhelming documentation which seems typical for the Java world btw. It is hard to pick up the concepts, and as long as you cant get them, you will only scratch the surface. As such, I had plans to switch to a more basic server such as jetty every time I updated my environment, but I never did so far. There were always more important tasks to tackle. Tomcats caching and long startup time make it a particularly bad choice for development. I have to offer a third way. My solution is to edit the build.xml in DSpace to create a directory ROOT instead of xmlui during the last phase of the update process. So, choose wisely, Christian -- Everyone hates slow websites.

Re: [Dspace-tech] dspace instance copy/mirror
Hello, Am 01.02.2013 um 17:54 schrieb Cronin, Catherine Kemble (LARC-B702) catherine.k.cro...@nasa.gov: We have set up and configured a development instance of dspace 1.8 (jspui) that has been tested and approved to go into production. What is the best practice for copying a fully customized and configured instance of dspace over to a new server for each of the following cases? 1. Instance including all of the content (ie bitstreams) – basically a full replication from one server to another. 2. Instance including no items or bitstreams, but all of the Communities and Collections. Basically the “structure” without items. I guess, the latter case is hard to accomplish, I have no idea for this. And as long as there are not hundreds of communities I dont even think it is a good idea. I would use a clean copy and enter the Communities and Collections from scratch. Both cases imply that it will happen only once in a lifetime and that the test environment has turned into a production environment during testing already. It wont make sense to take over items from testing to production any time after the initial setup. Or to say it differently, for further development you should consider to keep data completely separate from the production environment. If you keep data separate and dont want to set up all the stuff required to compile DSpace in your production environment, you can copy over the webapps directory content as required, id est certainly the jspui directory, but other, such as lni or oai depending on whether you will use them at all. If you go deeply into the code, then there will be new versions of some .jar files in the lib directory, specifically dspace.jar you will have to copy over as well. If copying webapps and .jar files manually to the production server, you will have to tweak your config files in the dspace/config directory manually. This should not be too hard to do, they are rarely changed after initial setup. To get started (your case one), you will have to copy over the whole [dspace] directory including the assetstore, config and so on. I would use rsync for this purpose. You can clean out log, history, reports and so on and you can remove the etc subdirectory, but working directories like log, history and so on need to be in the place indicated in your [dspace]/config/dspace.cfg file and writeable for the tomcat user. Besides the [dspace] directory, you will need to dump your postgres database and load it into the production environment. Consider not using dump_all, but to dump the dspace database only. Take care of preserving oids during the transfer of the database. After you have done so, you have to move the webapps stuff as well as described before if you keep your webapps in a place different from your [dspace] directory. Check the DSpace install steps to find any steps missing in my short advisory. For me, it has turned out to be a suitable solution to set up a new machine when it comes to a new DSpace version. I do all my testing on this machine, then move over essentially the assetstore and the database. I then have to run the etc files to update the database to the current version and after a short test I am ready to switch over the DNS entry. The old machine gets to be my testing environment for further development. This way, I have a full DSpace compilation environment on my production machine and can apply small changes without the help of another machine. It is up to me to be conscious and not to apply larger changes on the production machine. Bye, Christian -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

[Dspace-tech] dspace 1.8.2 SendFeedbackAction.java Issue
Hello,
we run dspace 1.8.2 with XMLUI and a derivative of the Mirage theme
under http://stadtteilgeschichten.net/. This is, no hostname such as
www.stadtteilgeschichten.net. We use tomcat6 and no apache.
The feedback form under http://stadtteilgeschichten.net/feedback throws
errors.
The contact form in comparison works flawlessly:
http://stadtteilgeschichten.net/contact
These are the error messages shown in the browser when clicking on Feedback:
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
Cocoon stacktrace [hide]
Sitemap: error invoking action
context:/resource://aspects/ViewArtifacts/sitemap.xmap - 193:68 map:act

at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1916)
at
org.dspace.app.xmlui.aspect.artifactbrowser.SendFeedbackAction.act(SendFeedbackAction.java:84)
The logfiles did not give me any clue to solve the issue myself.
I did not change anything in the associated code.
Then I found these lines of code in the file SendFeedbackAction.java
at the lines indicated by the java stracktrace in the bowser:
String basicHost = ;
if (localhost.equals(host) || 127.0.0.1.equals(host)
||
host.equals(InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()))
{
basicHost = host;
}
else
{
// cut off all but the hostname, to cover cases where more than one
URL
// arrives at the installation; e.g. presence or absence of www
int lastDot = host.lastIndexOf('.');
basicHost = host.substring(host.substring(0,
lastDot).lastIndexOf('.'));
}
I dont understand exactly what this code does, however I feel the error
message fitting this code pretty good. As such I guess I found the culprit.
I remember that we had issues long time ago when running DSpace 1.3 or 1.4
under jspui. There was code that made wrong assumptions about the structure of
the hostname variable. I suspect this to be a kind of undead which celebrates
ressurection at this point.
I checked the Contact.java and found that there a no comparable substring
manipulations imposed on the hostname as in the SendFeedbackAction.java code.
This code has not changed in DSpace 3.0, so updating our Repository will
probably not help with our issue.
The feedback form not working is actually a major issue
I tried to recompile with hostname set to www.stadtteilgeschichten.net.
However,
this did not fix the issue. Instead, I got a new error message, stating that
the
feedback form would only work with a referrer from the same site. No wonder,
www.stadtteilgeschichten.net does a 301 redirect to stadtteilgeschichten.net.
As somebody else runs the nameserver, I did not bother what would happen if we
request the site with a www. hostname. It is not desirable for us to do such
a move, as all our google ranking we have built up in years is bound to the
domain name without preceeding www. hostname.
Now, I am an admin, no programmmer I would certainly break DSpace if I would try
to fix the code. Actually, I tried already to commenct out the if else clause
and even such aesthetically inacceptable solutions as setting basicHost to
a fixed value such as stadtteilgeschichten, stadtteilgeschichten.net or
just host. It did not work, thats it.
I appreciate your help,
Bye, Christian

[Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.8.2 on OpenJDK6: reports on success or failure appreciated
Hello, I have got a new instance of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precixe Pangolin to run our DSpace instance on. We currently use DSpace 1.8.2 and have not decided when we will find the time to move on to DSpace 3.0 which is a major task for a project effectively run by two people in their spare time. Comparing installation requirements of versions 1.8.2 and 3.x, the 1.8 branch still reports issues with Java 7 because of solr incompatiblity and further recommends to use SUN/Oracle JDK 6. Using SUN/Oracle JDK means installing manually without support by the distributions package management which I suspect is the same issue for every OS distribution since it is triggered by Oracles licensing terms. Installing manually means that I will run into trouble as soon as I move on to DSpace 3.0 and OpenJDK 7, a situation discouraging future updates besides of keeping up to date manually until then. Using OpenJDK 6 would be a minor issue as compared to using either SUN/Oracle JDK 6 or 7, because it is still in the package management. Although the version available there is the 13 month old b24, whereas the latest Version of OpenJDK6 is the two month old b27 which likely fixes numerous security issues. This means that it is certainly not advisable either to use OpenJDK6. I am eager to learn, whether the issues with Java7 and solr have been fixed in a way that might encourage me to ignore the warning in the DSpace 1.8 install docs an just try to use Java 7 with DSpace 1.8 branch. Furthermore, is there anybody running DSpace 1.8 who tried OpenJDK, either OpenJDK 6 or OpenJDK7? When did you try? Within the last six month or before?

Re: [Dspace-tech] changing Discovery sidebarFacets and Localization
Hello, Am 11.11.2012 um 13:53 schrieb helix84 heli...@centrum.sk: 1) There's no need to recompile DSpace, just change the [dspace]/webapps/xmlui/i18/messages.xml (or messages_de.xml) and restart Tomcat. If it still doesn't display, try clearing Cocoon cache [1]. I gave up after tinkering around for quite a while, thinking that I had not understood anything about the whole system. Later on I got a phone call that my changes had become visible meanwhile. Your hint to the cocoon cache gives me a climpse as of what might have happened. Still though, writing in the webapps directory is a quick way for testing, but these changes will be lost as soon as I start over to implement more of the changes we want for our DSpace instance. And there comes the need to know where to put the strings before recompiling them. I guess, your advice would be put it where it makes sense to you. Well, Ill try to gain confidence, but I find it hard, being surprised every time I touch anything, even if these are positive surprises as was the case this time. 2) You can add your changes to this main messages.xml file even if they're for Discovery or any other module, it will work. Your explanation leeds me to the assumption that during compilation all of the separate messages files of the separate modules get merged into one big catalog. Which in turn would mean that it does not matter where I put them in the first place. But well then, it also means that in case I screw it up and put different versions in serveral messages files, I wont know which one wins. Which makes it desirable to know more about the priorities during the merge (if this happens at all, it is only an assumption).

[Dspace-tech] Current Postgres JDBC Driver
Hello, in the DSpace source tree, there is a rather old build of the Postgres JDBC driver included. It is build number 408, where even the legacy version for Postgres 8.1 offered on postgresql.org is build number 415. Even this is an unsupported, archived version. DSpace requires Postgres 8.2 though and thist implies that it does not make sense to stick with a Driver version that strives to support older versions of Postgres. The current build for Postgres 8.2 is 512 which is the oldest version still in support. The current version is build 703 to get an impression of what we are talking about. That said I would like to use a more recent version of the driver. However I cant figure out, where to put it. Do I really have to put separately in each and every [dsapce-source]/*/*/target/*/WEB-INF/lib/ directory for each module? What happens if I update only some of them? Will they be overwritten next time I run mvn package? Or will I end up with two JDBC drivers for each module? Will these two JDBC Drivers interact in unpredictable ways? I could not find any hints on this in the Docs. They generally just say dont worry. Well, I do.

This is on Debian, Java 1.6, Tomcat 6 if that would be of any

I just found that this does not work either.
As a short workaround for the lengthy and errorprone buildprocess
introduced with maven, I tested by placing the reencoded file
directly into the directory where the server runs from. At the
same time, I changed the file in the source directory (with
placeholders like taskqueue.dir = ${dspace.dir}/ctqueues not
yet replaced).
curate.cfg.iso-latin-1

After running another cycle of mvn package and ant update I found
that the display was broken again, be it in a slightly different
manner. ant update worked properly, however mvn package did not
copy the file to the target directory as is, but change the
encoding at the same time. No stop, it did not just tinker with
the encoding, it replaced all Umlauts wit a Replacement Character

diamond sign in UTF-8 compliant text editors such as vi.

Apache Maven 2.2.1 (rdebian-4)
Java version: 1.6.0_26

I intentionally switched back to Maven 2.2 after running in the
problems documented with Maven 3 last fall when working on the
1.7 Update.
I am not willing to dig into configuring mvn to not touch file
encodings. If that is a required step and cannot be done within
pom.xml project files I ask you to document how it has to be
done in the Installation prerequisite software section.
mvn not changing files in unexpected ways would strenghten
confidence, though it might not be in line with the way this
tool ist meant to behave (id est strenghten confidence).
Finding a way to localize DSpace modules without changing
config files (and thus tieing the interface to one language)
remains a welcome change to be seen in the future.

Hello, Am 05.04.2012 um 22:21 schrieb Tim Donohue: To this end, I've attempted to summarize what I've read in this thread into a new Proposal page on our wiki: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/i18n+Improvements+Proposal The goal of this wiki page is *not* to take discussion away from this listserv. I just found this page and Id like to comment on. We dont need to discuss messages.properties und messages.xml files together. Both types of files can not be mapped to each other because of differences in content, not only differences in format. Thus, translating both user interfaces is a separate effort anyway. With ongoing modularization, they will depart from each other even more, so there is no chance to keep them synced somehow. In the times when there was only a jspui, translation did not seem that troublesome, so I would concentrate on the new situation with Cocconn .xml-files. Furthermore, it was said there a tools available for the .properties files, so one more reason, to deal with them for the moment. Some thoughts on the messages.xml format .ts files for which tools exist are XML files either. With the extremly simple structure of messages.xml catalogues it should not be that much of a deal to create e.g. a XSLT transformation for translating back and forth. The simple structure of message catalogues by itself seems limiting however. I read over this page to get an idea of whether xmlns:i18n=http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1 contains some more useful attributes or such to store more info but I could not identify. I think a translation file format should support an attribute untranslated or deprecated for each message string at least, with an translators comment being another desirable feature. I havent tried to feed Cocoon with a messages.xml file that was just extended with no regard to the schema definition, but it would be worth to create our own messages.xml format as long as we dont break existing functionality. It should be possible to compare two versions of a messages.xml file based on the key values only. Thus the english and a localized version could be compared to find out about the coverage of the localized version quickly. On the Mac, there is nothing similar to Altovas tools, so I know only of quite simple XML Editors and I prefer diff for now. The aforementioned way of working is not possible with diff. I am sure this is just a lack of knwoledge regarding existing tools on my side. So if anyone has suggestions on great XML Tools to check out, please tell. Scattering messages.xml files all over the file tree is not much of an issue. Inconsistency in using overlays is. Hugh, did I say that? Well, as soon as one knows, that there are several places where messages.xml files go, as long as they are named exactly the same, it is one simple search to find them all. However, using overlays does not seem to be handled consitently for all modules. For now, I have learned that the proper path to put them starts with dspace/config/modules and ends with src/main/webapp/i18n/ For xmlui, the missing middle part is just xmlui. Remember, as an user, I dont have to drop the file just into the right place, but I have to create the path. This requires better understanding. Now, eqipped with this knowledge, I try to derive the proper overlay path for modules from their source path: dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-webapp/src/main/webapp /i18n dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-api /src/main/resources/aspects/XMLWorkflow /i18n dspace-discovery/dspace-discovery-xmlui-api /src/main/resources/aspects/Discovery /i18n Well, dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-webapp gets shortened to xmlui. Should dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-api be shortened to the same xmlui, given that the first part of the path minus dspace- is the same? Or will there be a future name-clash? And for dspace-discovery/dspace-discovery-xmlui-api is it simply discovery then? Ok, then for the second part: It looks as if they cant all be thrown into src/main/resources/i18n, also not into src/main/resources/i18n/$modulename/. I could not even figure out whether overlays need to be supported actively by the programmer, reading files from a place agreed upon, or are they picked up by the maven process automagically? Finally, I just put them in the source path which means I compromise on the build process. Not that much of a deal for now, but you should be aware of the consequences of not explaining the mechanics from a users perspective. To sum up, a separate section Localization under Customization would be a wellcome addition as a one stop to gather this kind of information. Alter- natively, there should be a minimum documentation requirement for all new modules to mention this kind of stuff in a standardized place. Whose convenience counts most? In this thread, programmers versus localizers convenience was discussed. But localizers are still more engaged and
