Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.5.2 - Embargo patch issue
2009/10/28 Patrick Etienne patrick.etie...@library.gatech.edu:
Fellow DSpace Techs -
I'm attempting to get the embargo patch working against a fresh installation
of dspace 1.5.2 per the instructions available at the following URL:
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/User:Emetsger:Embargo:Downloads_here
Despite my best efforts, I am not able to set this up successfully. After
installing and looking at the results the symptoms are as follows:
1) Visual - I see inline bullet points but no text associated with them.
2) XHTML - yields the code listed below for each community/collection:
!-- External Metadata URL: cocoon://metadata/handle/{community
number}/{collection
number}/mets.xml?sections=dmdSec,fileSecfileGrpTypes=THUMBNAIL--
li class=ds-artifact-item {even/odd} /
Do you mean that you cannot browse by item? If so the following may be
of use to you:
2009/7/2 Halliday, James Leonard jhall...@indiana.edu
I have a similar problem, but no newly defined field: I can't browse
by author or subject, as I get a java.lang.NullPointerException very
similar (or so it seems to me) to Lyn's error. (I've included the
cocoon and java stacktraces below.)
The same thing happened to me when I was implementing Embargoes (Author and
Subject browse stopped working), and here is the problem that I uncovered;
hopefully the same fix will work for you. (Note: I have only worked with the
1.5.1 patch, but presumably the same fix will work for you.) I don't think
it's related to patching an existing database vs. using a fresh one, because
the error happens even on a fresh database, once you add data that includes
subject or author information.
Your patch file is not patching the DSpace code correctly. Check the
dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/browse/BrowseEngine.java class and the
patch file. It looks like the patch file is patching the BrowseByValue
method, instead of patching the BrowseByItem method, which it should be
patching. The two methods look very similar, so the patch is getting
confused. Double-check that class against the patch file manually, and make
sure the appropriate changes are being made. Once I did that, all of my
browsing problems were fixed.
Another note: this bug is hard to find because the stack trace is coming from
the wrong place. There is a bug in the core DSpace class
org.dspace.app.xmlui.aspect.artifactbrowser.ConfigurableBrowse.java, in the
getValidity() method that is causing a null pointer exception when the
validity should be null (the last line for logging should include a null
pointer check).
Jim Halliday
The patched dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/browse/BrowseEngine.java has the
embargo stuff in the browseByValue method from line 536 (of the
patched file). I copied those lines (536-566) to a similar spot in
the preceding browseByItem method (line 366) and commented them out in
the browseByValue method.

Several new elements are being added to the HTML standard that seem advantageous to many developers. Some new elements like nav, header, footer, and figure, are semantically advantageous. Other elements will add certain capabilities to HTML5 compliant browsers. For example, the audio and video elements will allow audio and video files to be directly embedded in the same way that images currently are. HTML5 compliant browsers will be expected to provide some support for embedded video and audio without relying on third party plugins. For example, both Firefox 3.5 and Chrome 3 already provide built in support for open video and audio created with Vorbis and Theora (ie. .ogv, oga). I was curious to know if DSpace developers have given any discussion to DSpace and these new developments in HTML5. Will near-future versions of DSpace and DSpace themes support these new element tags? With open video and audio formats be added to the default metadata registry at any time in the near future?

Re: [Dspace-tech] Filtering errors with XPDF Tools
Thanks for the response, Van. I don't quite follow what you mean. I am running the filter-media command as the dspace user, but I'm not sure what is meant by the all operations on files in /tmp part, since the filter-media command seems to put the converted files there by default. Can you clarify?

The /tmp file doesn't contain any of the files shown in the log, so it looks like they're not being written. Try and perform the conversion in the DSpace/Java user's context with all operations on files in /tmp . There may be an issue with the filesystem for /tmp . Good luck.

Hi Keiji
Thanks for your help. Yep worked a treat.
Just to confirm;
- I patched the SRWLuceneDatabase java src,
- I then compiled SRWU and copied over the SRW.jar to SRWDspace
- I compiled SRWDSpace then copied the SRWDSpace jar back to the SRWU,
- I compiled SRWU again and deployed it
Ralph,
I have created an ODT of the steps to building and deploying the SRWU.
Would you mind if I sent it through for you to proof? I think I may be
carrying out a few too many steps.
Cheers
Hayden

Hi Hayden,
Though you might already have solved, I got the same error today.
I could work around this with the following patch. Also I had to
copy
commons-dbcp.jar, commons-pool.jar and postgres.jar from DSpace
to SRW's WEB-INF/lib.
I used DSpace 1.5.2 and SRW/U checked out from svn/trunk.

Thanks for responding.
I exported trunk HEAD from both subversion repositories. Am I
exporting
from the right location? Should I be exporting from a branch
perhaps?
Would you like me to report any issues on the googlecode issue
tracker
or is here okay?

Sorry for the tardy response!
It looks to me like you have the SRWDspaceLucene jar out of synch
with
the SRW jar. Have you switched to the 1.5.1 jar? There is a new
SRW
jar to go with that.

Hi
I am attempting to set up SRW/U for a second time, and, while I am
able
to get the test working, I have been completely unsuccessful this
time
round in getting it to work with DSpace.
I continue to get the following error, which I thought was related
to a
missing axis jar file but I've installed and configured it and
still I
get nowhere;

The DSpace.SRWDatabase.props file is in my DSpace instance's

Could I be missing something?
Any help much appreciated.

Re: [Dspace-tech] HTML5 and the future of DSpace
I think the support of HTML 5 would be advantageous, especially in the embedded video and audio elements area, as it would be good to see the support of open formats such as ogv and oga in an open source repository such as DSpace. While ogv is not the most efficient video format around at the moment, it is starting to make progress, and oga is definitely a mature and well established audio format even if it is not as widespread as the proprietary MP3 format. Add to this Wikipedia's ongoing out-of-the-box support for these open standards, and there is a good chance these formats, especially oga, will gain some traction in the mainstream Internet community.
