Re: [Dspace-tech] Fresh Install of DSpace 5.3

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Keith, could you confirm the maven command(s) you're using to build
DSpace, and which version of maven you're using?
It seems like the assembly goal is trying to run before the package goal
has completed...

Cheers

Re: [Dspace-tech] How to find item with strange metadata value of |||

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Alan, that's close, but not quite what I was suggesting: the ||| will
not be stored in the database, that's added in when indexing the values to
Solr, so I think a SQL query like:

select item_id from metadatavalue where metadata_field_id=86 and
(text_value='' OR text_value IS NULL);

Will be closer to what you're after.

If you want to try and find items that might match in solr, you could try
something like

curl http://localhost:8080/solr/search/select?query=*:*fq=FIELDNAME_filter
:|||

Where FIELDNAME is the name of the field as configured in the discovery
spring configuration (eg. 'subject', 'type', 'author', and so on)

Cheers!

 Hmmm. Anyone know how I could query Solr directly for this information?

 I'm sort of surprised it displays in the sidebar, because acting as the

 for is empty or null metadata values in your database (probably easier than
 CSV because of how metadata export works), for the field in question.

 What version is this happening in?

Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace maven build problem

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Atul,

I haven't encountered this one before, so I'm not totally sure, but my
suggestions are:

- See if you can upgrade to Maven 3.0.5 as it's the recommended build
version for DSpace 5
- Build with mvn clean package to force dependency update
- Optionally, you can even try purging your ~/.m2/repository artifacts (or
even just ~/.m2/repository/org/dspace/dspace-rdf if you see it there)

(the reason for the latter two is it sort of looks like something might be
corrupt with that particular war file...)

Cheers

Re: [Dspace-tech] [Dspace-general] SWORD or custom XMLUI forms?

[Kim Shepherd]

wrote:

  [...]

 Currently we use PHP forms that generate Dspace archives we then batch
 import, and I like the flexibility of web forms, but I want to streamline
 the process.  The advantage of using XMLUI custom forms is the lack of a
 separate layer to administer, and hooking into the various authority
 control mechanisms that are provided.



 This is for Theses and Dissertations, which will be entered by our staff,
 not by students.


Kia ora Anton,

(cc dspace-tech since I get slightly techie here)

I think you've identified the basic difference - do you want an integrated
system to support - which will be more flexible and extensible in terms of
UI and intermediate transformation, but require more initial work and
ongoing maintenance - or keep things simple with the out-of-box submission
processes?

I personally have tended to use SWORD for deposit so I can do whatever I
like in the [self or mediated] deposit forms, integrated apps, etc.

If you plan to use authority control, it is true that using external forms
you'd have to implement some lookups again (I have some WIP on this sort of
thing, based on a prototype we made at OR2014) but you're not locked out of
using authority control altogether - you can pass the keys in with the
ingest metadata, as far as I know:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Authority+Control+of+Metadata+Values#AuthorityControlofMetadataValues-UnattendedSubmission

Some questions that might help you choose:

* Do you have staff/infrastructure resource to support an external thesis
deposit webapp?
* Do you have design requirements that differ wildly from the out of box
look/feel of XMLUI submission?
* Do you have requirements to do other clever things with deposited theses
- eg. submit to multiple repositories, submit to bindery, catalogue, etc.
* Do you have requirements to use authority control without too much extra
development?
* Do your staff (who will be involved in thesis deposit) already use your
DSpace submission forms for other processes?

[Dspace-tech] Fwd: How to search items by metadata using REST API?

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi all,

This reminds me of a related issue I was thinking about the other day - as
the REST API evolves and starts to see production use, we might want to
think about versioning it somehow, keeping support for previous
schemas/endpoint functionality, etc (within reason) so that we don't break
existing integrations and UIs with new releases, and to help with
documentation.
I don't know how easy this is to achieve in practice, and I already need to
brush up on my JAX-RS...perhaps it could be something like keeping note of
which REST versions are compatible with which DSpace kernel versions, so
that during the maven build, a particular REST module release tag can be
pulled down if it's still compatible with the dspace-api being built.

Thoughts?

Cheers

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] XOAI and filters based on access permissions

[Kim Shepherd]

Kia ora Deborah,

I've done a bit of testing in 5.2, and will do the same test in 3.4
tomorrow -- though I think it'll be the same, looking at the
DSpaceAuthorizationFilter in 3.x vs 5.x, and my findings/notes are that
this does work nicely, in that people won't be able to do a GetRecord for
your restricted items in *any* context (including default) that uses the
bitstreamaccessFilter filter (now called bitstreamAccessCondition in
DSpace 5.x for any others reading this), BUT the trick is that the
authorization filter doesn't actually look at bitstream policies! It looks
at bundle policies. I'm not really sure why.*

Here's an example you can try in my test repository:

Record page: (i'm keeping item public so we can check it)
http://dspace.shepherd.nz/handle/or2015/256
OAI GetRecord request for that handle:
http://dspace.shepherd.nz/oai/request?verb=GetRecordmetadataPrefix=oai_dcidentifier=oai:dspace.shepherd.nz:or2015/256

You should see an error response with The given id does not exist

So here is my suggestion:

1. Make sure that your default context references the
bitstreamaccessFilter, and any other contexts in which you don't wish
these items to appear
(there is the potential that you could have contexts in which you
generally don't want this filter, but do want to exclude Symplectic items -
in these cases, you may need to rethink - in DSpace 5 there are some clever
things that can be done with ANDing and ORing various filters together, but
prior to that you might have to think about filtering based on metadata
instead. It sounds like as long as you keep your Restricted Theses as they
are and keep the bundle policies in place, this will work OK for you)

2.  Find a few items and makes sure there is no Anonymous:READ policy for
the ORIGINAL bundle, and then rebuild your OAI catalog with
${dspace}/bin/dspace oai import -c -v
${dspace}/bin/dspace oai import clean-cache

Some good news: you don't need to restart Tomcat to check your changes! The
DSpace kernel reads configuration whenever you run that dspace oai
command, and is independent of Tomcat.

For the future, and for others wondering about issues like this, there are
also ways to use logical filter definitions to NOT a MetadataValueExists
filter, so you could check for the existence of a metadata value like
pubs.elements-id (Symplectic Elements adds this to every repository item)
and *exclude* the item from the context.
(and for these specific items, which you've mentioned are also non-public
at the ITEM level, I believe the fix
https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1856 in DSpace 5 would fix this
without any other intervention).

Anyway, I am hoping my suggestions above work for 3.x - I'll try to find
time to test them - and sorry to keep harping on about DSpace 5, I have it
on the brain a bit at the moment ;) I realise upgrade! is not a very good
answer to specific problems like this!

Cheers

Kim

* If you look at
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-oai/src/main/java/org/dspace/xoai/filter/DSpaceAuthorizationFilter.java,
you will see the check:

Item dspaceItem = (Item) HandleManager.resolveToObject(context, handle);
AuthorizeManager.authorizeAction(context, dspaceItem, Constants.READ);
for (*Bundle b* : dspaceItem.getBundles())
AuthorizeManager.authorizeAction(context,* b*, Constants.READ);
return true;

It's the same in 3.x classes.
This might be intentional or it might just be an oversight while iterating
item bundles, I'll check doc and might log a JIRA issue

  Hi there,



 We’re on DSpace 3.1 and have just switched over to XMLUI. All we know
 about DSpace we learned from a 2-day workshop and from working through this
 XLMUI switch, so please bear with us!



 Currently we have our XOAI feed set up such that it effectively excludes
 items from two collections:

 ·  “Restricted thesis” collection – theses accessible to our own
 staff and students only. Items have anonymous READ access, but bitstreams
 are restricted

 · “Symplectic” collection – intended as a dark archive of
 copyrighted material kept for internal purposes. Items and bitstreams are
 all access-restricted.



 Firstly, we’ve noticed that while this excludes the items from
 ListIdentifiers and from ListRecords, the metadata for the “Symplectic”
 collection is still returned in a GetRecord request if you know the handle.
 (It isn’t returned in the “Restricted thesis” collection.) This is
 unexpected and very undesirable for us. Can anyone explain it and/or
 suggest a way to ensure this doesn’t happen?





 Secondly, we’d like to move to a situation where:

 ·  “Restricted thesis” collection is included  (at least in one
 OAI context – this is so we can harvest it into our library’s discovery
 layer Primo)

 ·

 I did a batch import of many items to this collection but when I try to

 eventhough it should be public and enheriting authorizations from its

 Can you please tell me if in this version authorizations have changed? How
 can I enherit the authorizations from the parent collections to all its

Re: [Dspace-tech] Possible issue with SOLR following an upgrade from 3.2 to 5.2

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Casey,

It looks to me like these problems (at least, the errors pasted) could be
related to some XMLUI aspect or pipeline issues rather than Solr itself.
However, taking a look at your Solr index(es) and making sure the data is
all there sounds like a good first step, and will at least eliminate it as
a problem.

By default, the Solr webapp is configured with a
LocalhostRestrictionFilter enabled, to ensure that only your local DSpace
[web]apps have access.
You'll want to give yourself some direct access to Solr to help with
testing and diagnosis -  here are some instructions that will help you open
your Solr webapp up to some specific IPs without letting the rest of the
Internet in. (assuming Tomcat7)
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Solr#Solr-InstructionsspecifictoTomcat7andnewer

Once you've configured that, you can visit http://your.hostname/solr to get
to the main admin page, or try a few queries like
http://your.hostname/solr/search/select?q=*:*

I'm keen to hear how you get on with all of that - keep us posted!

If it doesn't help get to the bottom of the actual problem, you could maybe
compare your XMLUI config and sitemaps between dev and prod instances...
I'm wondering if some parts didn't get fully upgraded and are referring to
invalid paths or getting stuck somewhere?

Cheers

Kim

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Isidro and lists,

Regarding point 6 -- I see what you're saying, but it shouldn't really be
up to the DSpace community repositories (who all use the handle prefix /
identifier system, as I'm sure you know!) to argue why 1234/123 is better
than thesis/phsyics/something, because we're not the ones proposing that
URI segments be part of any metric used to judge the world ranking of a
repository. It's also not as simple as you might think, particularly when
ensuring unique URIs and persistent URIs, etc.
I think you're saying that URIs should either look nice or be
meaningful, or both, but I'm not sure we should rely on URIs to be too
meaningful, especially when we have ways of including that with semantic
markup in references, structured data in our METS/ORE feeds via OAI, etc.

Regarding point 5 -- I don't see that this matters either. No end user
cares what the IR is actually called, surely? Whatever arguments you can
make for our IRs having bad names, punishing us for preserving the
permanence of those names and URIs we've already minted seems a bit unfair?
The first IR I thought of when reading this was, of course,
http://dspace.mit.edu.
I think point 5 actually punishes EPrints repositories most unfairly, since
eprints is an accepted name for digital manuscripts as well as the
platform used -- I think I've even seen IRs called eprints.something.etc
running platforms other than EPrints.

Numbers 6 and 7, I think I agree with Mark, but don't really have anything
to add. I don't really understand why this would even be considered as a
metric, let alone grounds for exclusion. What are some examples of cases
where long URIs (or, eg. directories as fulltext hosted in IRs with their
own dir structures, which happens) or URIs which happen to contain numbers
result in end users or machines not being able to properly locate/use
hosted resources?

Number 8 is probably the thing that will punish my own institution most,
which is a pity because we have a large absolute amount of fulltext, but
for various reasons, a lot of record only items as well. This is probably a
philisophical argument about defining an OA repository I guess?

I hope my criticisms here don't seem too harsh - thanks for taking the time
to listen to feedback.

On a lighter note, I'm sort of pleased these proposals have been doing the
rounds, as I think it might just be the thing that convinces my own
institution to take world repository ranking off our KPIs, and
concentrate more on qualitative value of the repository we host.

Cheers

Kim (a DSpace dev/admin, and already biased against quantitative metrics in
IRs so not exactly an objective commenter ;))

Re: [Dspace-tech] OAI set specification

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi all, my initial suggestion was going to be using Apache mod_rewrite to
rewrite the hdl_ portion of the set  query value, but now I realise you
don't know in advance whether it's a collection or a community... (ie.
com or col in the new value).. that is tricky.
Depending on the number of communities and collections you have, you could
still implement this with a series of rules, one per set (instead of a
regex match/replace), but it doesn't scale very well and needs constant
maintenance as you add/change your community and collection structure.

Just a note -- your actual OAI endpoint URL isn't really changing, just the
set ID format... if a OAI harvester does a request?verb=ListSets as normal,
they'll get back a list of the (new) set IDs and can then harvest them
without worrying about what they used to be, or will be in future... do you
have any harvesters that are configured to just come in and harvest
particular OAI sets?

Cheers

Kim

 Hi everybody,
 I've notice that in the new OAI (with DSpace versión 3.x) a lot of things
 have changed, I'm worried about the set call.
 In other versions we did a call like this:
 request?verb=ListRecordsmetadataPrefix=eseset=*hdl*_10687_4
 where set hdl_10687_4 was a comunity

 now I see that with the new version this call doesn't work and I have to
 do something like this
 request?verb=ListRecordsmetadataPrefix=eseset=*com*_10687_4

 I have to *save* that *compatibility* because some harvesters already
 have my old comunities sets and now I can't change them.
 How can I make to ensure compatibility with the old version calls?

[Dspace-tech] Moving items and inheriting policies

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi all,

I notice that since DSpace 3, moving an item and selecting inherit
collection policies no longer removes existing policies on the object.
It's hard to tell if this was an intentional change or not... I see a
refactor in the way Item.inheritCollectionDefaultPolicies(Collection c)
works, and the addition of adjustItemPolicies, adjustBundlePolicies, and
filterPoliciesToAdd methods.

I can see the new behaviour looks like it will work well for new items that
are moving from submission or workflow into the archive (removing
TYPE_SUBMISSION and TYPE_WORKFLOW) policies, but it seems as though the
cases where an already-archived item is being moved from one collection to
another has been overlooked?
The comments for the method(s) still say remove all policies on an item
and its contents, and remove all policies on bundle, but this behaviour
isn't actually implemented any longer. (this has been confirmed by actually
trying this out in the UI)

Can someone shed some light on why this behaviour has changed, and maybe
some history behind the refactor of inheritCollectionDefaultPolicies?
If the new behaviour is intended, then I suggest we add a new UI option
that can be selected in addition to inherit collection policies when
moving an item, perhaps a drop down that forces a choice between add to
existing policies or replace existing policies.

If anyone is wondering why this is important, sometimes repository staff
will need to move an existing item with open access policies into a closed
or restricted access collection with some restrictive default read
policies. Before DSpace 3, it was safe to check inherit collection
policies while moving and know that the Anonymous READ policy would be
removed from the item and its contents, and the DEFAULT_ITEM_READ and
DEFAULT_BITSTREAM_READ policy would be applied in their place.
As it stands now, Anonymous: READ will stay there, and the defaults will
simply be added... and the item will still effectively be open to all.

Cheers

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] Import metadata: no changes were detected

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Diwakar,

Do you have a 'collection' column in your CSV? It is required by the
Batch Metadata Edit tool, since the collection handle can be changed
to move an item from one collection to another. I think the no
changes detected error message, while not very descriptive of the
actual problem, is occurring because a required column is missing.

Good spotting.. we have two instances of this typo in the example

It's an easy typo to make because Dublin Core XML will use elements

Re: [Dspace-tech] fulltext in browse and search

[Kim Shepherd]

RE #2: You could use query-time boosting to boost the relevance of the
'fulltext' field... I don't have an example of the top of my head but I
think this should be possible... maybe even combining your original query
with a fulltext:{query}^10 (where '10' is the boost value... this is
probably too high! but suffices for demo purposes.)

Another example:

* A normal search for Brian Cox:
http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/discover?scope=%2Fquery=Brian+Cox
Note that the first result is a non-text bitstream, so not full text. The
second result is a text bitstream which should be indexed as fulltext.

* A boosted text search for Brian Cox:
http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/discover?scope=%2Fquery=Brian+Cox+OR+(fulltext:*+AND+Brian+Cox)^10
Here we see the fulltext item appearing first, because the OR I wrote (which
just combines the original query with a fulltext:* query) is boosted by 10.
^VALUE is standard lucene queryparser syntax, so it's easy to use with Solr
too.

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] dc.rights

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Lewatle,

What version of DSpace are you running? If you're using DSpace 1.7.0 or
later, I could help you out with a curation task I wrote to perform a very
similar task... it's much nicer and safer (and easier to reuse) than doing
it manually in SQL, and can be run via the UI on a single item, a collection
of items, a community of items, or even the entire repository!
We've added access rights curation tasks to our regular thesis and research
output workflow, and they're working well so far, because they can perform
bitstream restriction and populate dc.rights at the same time. Since it
sounds like you're going 100% Open Access, your tasks will be even easier
because they only need to populate metadata fields.

Another, more ad-hoc way of doing this is exporting the item metadata you
want to update as CSV, filling out the dc.rights column with 2  Publicly
Accessible, then importing the metadata back into DSpace. It's also easy to
revert since your original export could be treated as a 'backup'.

Sorry this isn't an exact answer to your question -- just providing some
non-SQL alternatives to achieving what you want... and they will guarantee
that your indexes are updated, proper errors are thrown if a problem is
encountered, etc...

Cheers!

Re: [Dspace-tech] 1.7 build failed with Solr Stats

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Iola,

The problem seems to be related to character encoding:

/storage/repos/dspace17/dspace-1.7.0-src-release/dspace-stats/src/main/java/org/dspace/statistics/util/LocationUtils.java:[26,13]
unmappable character for encoding ASCII

There are country names like Åland Islands that will cause problems in a
non-UTF-8 environment (eg. ASCII, ISO-8859-1, windows-1252).

I haven't encountered this issue before.. I'm guessing that your environment
(eg. Windows, Linux), maven, or javac itself is not configured to use UTF-8
encoding. Could you give a bit more detail about what OS you're running,
etc?

(it seems from your comments that you're not using an IDE to build, but just
in case you are, that will also need default character encoding changed to
UTF-8)

A possible workaround is to replace some of the non-ASCII characters in
LocationUtils.java with their ASCII equivalents, but the better solution
will be to try and get your environment fully UTF-8 compatible.

Hope this helps! Sorry my answer isn't very precise.

Cheers,

Kim

 Hi Iola,



 Could you please reply with the maven error you encountered when trying to
 build with stats?

 This will help us figure out what might be going wrong.

Re: [Dspace-tech] REST API for DSpace

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Chris,

Do you have a public-facing repository that is making use of this? It would
be great to see it in action.
I feel I may be a bit behind the times as far as this project goes..!

Also, kudos to Bojan for continuing to support his work. Sounds like I need
to give it another go :-)

Cheers,

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] Customized xmlui

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Jeff,

I note you use 'webapps' in your XMLUI modules path, but it should be
'webapp'. That's just one quick hint.. (I'm guessing the typo is in your
email rather than in your dspace dirs, but I'm just making sure ;))

Assuming you're using 'webapp', this *should* work fine, unless you're using
1.7 and Mirage. If you're using the Mirage theme, please note that:

- It uses dri2xhtml-alt instead of dri2xhtml (different set of base
templates)
- It actually copies all the templates in dri2xhtml-alt into Mirage/lib/xsl,
rather than overriding specific templates

So in 1.7 Mirage, you need to make your xsl changes in
[dspace]/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/Mirage/lib/xsl/...

( if you were trying to edit item display templates, in the past you would
have changed or overridden templates
in  [dspace]/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/dri2xhtml/DIM-Handler.xsl,
but in Mirage, you'd change or
override 
[dspace]/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/Mirage/lib/xsl/aspect/artifactbrowser/item-view.xsl
)

Hope at least some of this helps ;)

Can you confirm that your other changes are making it through (added images,
CSS, etc) ?

Cheers,

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] dspace solr facets config

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Mckeane,

This is done in Discovery's i18n configuration, a messages.xml file just
like the one you will have edited under the main XMLUI module.

Have a look in
[dspace-src]/dspace-discovery/dspace-discovery-xmlui-api/src/main/resources/aspects/Discovery/i18n/messages.xml
and you'll see the default labels for the _filter types that are configured
with Discovery out of the box.

You can add your own labels here, eg.
xmlui.ArtifactBrowser.AdvancedSearch.type_dc.format.extent_filter
or
xmlui.ArtifactBrowser.AdvancedSearch.type_var_filter (if you choose to
configure this as a facet)

You can also merge this file with your existing (non-discovery) XMLUI i18n
configuration so it's a bit easier to manage and overlay.

I'm not entirely sure what the function of your var field is since you're
wanting to use dc.format.extent as the facet in dspace-solr-search.cfg
anyway... you don't really need the copyField in there if you're not using
the destination field for anything.

(I do note that you've given a type of int rather than the dspaceFilter
default, so I assume you're planning something there...)

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] IllegalAccessError has occurred when posting thru SWORD to DSpace 1.7.0 rc1 with discovery consumer setting

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi all,

I've been trying to figure this out (DS-785, DSRV-11) and I've sorted
the slf4j problems out, but I still can't get SWORD working properly,
and it's times like these where my ignorance of dspace-services and
the new event system becomes apparent!

If anyone has time to check these JIRA issues and put me right or make
suggestions, I'd be very grateful... the slf4j stuff can be worked
around, but the inability for SWORD deposits to load the discovery
eventconsumer is a problem I haven't managed to solve yet...

Cheers,

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] Error creating indexes 'invalid multibyte character for locale'

Hi Steve,

As well as Keith's suggestion of inspecting your locale, I'd try a redump of
the database with -E UNICODE passed to 'pg_dump', otherwise the dumped
tables will still be in their original encoding.

 We've completed another restore but are still having the same issue. This

 psql -d dspace -f dspace-prod.dump


 We then upgraded the database to 1.6:

 Hi Kim,

 We took a *copy* of the database and refreshed it back to dev, so it is
 identical to the production one, then upgraded it in dev. So I'll need to
 find out if the original database from production was created that way.

 Perhaps we should take a dump of the production database instead, and then
 import that into a fresh UTF8 created database? I think the issue is that
 the original database was never created as UTF8.

 Thanks,
 Steve

Re: [Dspace-tech] [Dspace-general] Installing DSpace on Ubuntu

[Kim Shepherd]

(switching CC to dspace-tech)

Hi Bidhan,

It's probably best to use the latest stable version of DSpace, which is
1.6.2. It's available here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dspace/

Could you expand on the installation problems you're having? Where are you
getting stuck?

The DSpace installation guide (
http://www.dspace.org/1_6_2Documentation/ch03.html#N107D4) should help you
through the process, but if you can let us know which step is failing,
somebody should be able to help you out

Cheers!

Kim

Hi Steve,

Just to check, has your new/dev database been created with UTF8 character
encoding? (pass -E UNICODE or -E UTF8 to createdb)

 Hi all,

 We are having a problem upgrading an instance of dspace from 1.5.x-1.6.2.
 We built the new 1.6.2 code and took a snapshot of our old production
 database and migrated in back to our dev environment (along with the

 Now, when running the index-init script we get this:

Re: [Dspace-tech] FW: DSpace: Internal Server Error

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Kari,

What version of DSpace are you running?
Have you run the stats reporting tools?
eg:
[dspace]/bin/dspace stat-initial
[dspace]/bin/dspace stat-general
[dspace]/bin/dspace stat-monthly
[dspace]/bin/dspace stat-report-initial
[dspace]/bin/dspace stat-report-general
[dspace]/bin/dspace stat-report-monthly

(note: these statistics are different to the usage statistics can be viewed
for items, collections and communities in DSpace 1.6.x -- these are the
traditional administrative reports which are generated directly from your
DSpace logs)

Cheers,

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] What's wrong with the java version

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Martin,

It seems as though there is still an old (version 1.3) java.exe sitting in
one of your paths (eg: C:\windows\system32), and this is the version of the
JRE that's being called from 'dspace' rather than your 1.6 version.

From a command prompt, if you run java -version, what version is reported?

The dspace script/batch file will try to use whichever java.exe it can
find first when searching %PATH% -- to ensure that the same version of Java
is used for everything, I'd recommend you update your %PATH% so that only
your 1.6 executables are found.

Note: We should probably test for %JAVA_HOME% (as we do with the web
applications) and use that version first, and just fall back on %PATH%
afterwards. If you are having trouble changing your %PATH%, or you have
other reasons for needing 1.3 version executables in there, reply to the
list and I'll send an updated dspace.bat that first checks %JAVA_HOME%

(Tomcat uses %JAVA_HOME%, which is why the web applications themselves are
working OK)

Cheers,

Kim

Hi Indu,

You will need oubound Internet access to download the GeoLite data -- if the
machine you're installing on doesn't have Internet access, you can manually
download and copy the
http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz file
to your /dspace/config directory, and the geolite tasks should detect it
there and skip the download attempt.

Re: [Dspace-tech] handle problem

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Gaetano,

Could you check the value of dspace.baseUrl and dspace.url in
[dspace]/config/dspace.cfg?

Going by the information you've given, here are the recommended values for
your DSpace instance:

dspace.hostname = elea.unisa.it
dspace.baseUrl = http://${dspace.hostname}:8080
dspace.url = ${dspace.baseUrl}/jspui

If the variables used are making things unclear, this basically turns into:

dspace.hostname = elea.unisa.it
dspace.baseUrl = http://elea.unisa.it:8080
dspace.url = http://elea.unisa.it:8080/jspui

Recent versions of DSpace have /xmlui as the default webapp in
${dspace.url}, and I think this is why you're seeing this behaviour.

If you do change any of these values, you'll need to restart DSpace *and*
your handle server for the changes to take effect.

Hope this helps -- let me know how you get on.

Cheers,

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] how to publish the internal URL of DSpace Items

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Vinit,

Which UI are you using? XMLUI and JSPUI each generate slightly different
bitstream URLs, but both do end in file extensions (if the bitstream name
contains one), XMLUI just appends a ?sequence parameter on the end.
They'll each have slightly different ways of modifying the way bitstream
URLs are displayed.

One thing to note is that an item URL itself won't contain a file
extension; the URLs of the bitstreams within it are what you're looking to
change.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] Issue about Google crawler

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Panyarak,

It might be an idea to add /displaystats to your JSPUI's robots.txt and to
any Google Webmaster Tools robots.txt files or Page Removal Requests.
For Google to de-index pages, it generally likes to see a 404 (not found) or
a 410 (gone).

Unfortunately, the servlet that handles statistics display for JSPUI throws
a NullPointerException when a handle is passed to it that doesn't turn into
a valid DSpace object. It *should* throw a friendly 404 to help crawlers
like Google realise the page is gone.

I've opened a JIRA issue for the NPE bug -
http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-689 - and attached a patch for 1.6.2
(and trunk, and probably other 1.6.x versions) that will make sure that when
anyone (including Google) visits those pages, it sees a 404 instead of
Internal Server Error.

Hopefully this, along with /displaystats (and/or /displaystats* ?) in your
robots.txts or removal requests will help convince Google to stop crawling.

Cheers,

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] Issue about Google crawler

[Kim Shepherd]

I should point out that my robots.txt suggestions assume you don't want any
stats pages crawled at all... if that's not true, it's probably best to
apply the patch for DS-689 and wait for Google to de-index (and make the
robots.txt entries more specific if there are only a few invalid handles
being requested)

Cheers,

Kim

 Hi Panyarak,

 It might be an idea to add /displaystats to your JSPUI's robots.txt and to
 any Google Webmaster Tools robots.txt files or Page Removal Requests.
 For Google to de-index pages, it generally likes to see a 404 (not found)
 or a 410 (gone).

 Unfortunately, the servlet that handles statistics display for JSPUI throws
 a NullPointerException when a handle is passed to it that doesn't turn into
 a valid DSpace object. It *should* throw a friendly 404 to help crawlers
 like Google realise the page is gone.

 I've opened a JIRA issue for the NPE bug -
 http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-689 - and attached a patch for 1.6.2
 (and trunk, and probably other 1.6.x versions) that will make sure that when
 anyone (including Google) visits those pages, it sees a 404 instead of
 Internal Server Error.

 Hopefully this, along with /displaystats (and/or /displaystats* ?) in your
 robots.txts or removal requests will help convince Google to stop crawling.

 Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] Java file customisation for JSPUI

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Philippe,

Yes, you can use overlays (eg. the files you place in
[dspace-src]/dspace/modules/jspui) for java sources, but they need to be
placed in a [dspace-src]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/java, as opposed to
the directory rather than in the
[dspace-src]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/webapp directory where your
overlaid JSPs are currently.

The 'java' directory might not exist as yet, so you'll need to create it if
it isn't there.

Also, just a reminder that while compiled classes from the modules/jspui
directory will override classes from dspace-jspui-api, you cannot add new
classes this way.

Here's a reference to some ways of modifying the DSpace codebase or adding
your own plugins:

https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/BuildCookbook#BuildCookbook-Recipe4%3A%28Deprecated%29UseOverlaystoSegregateLocalModifications

The page I've linked to above says that overlaying DSpace maven projects
like this is a deprecated way of maintaining local customisations, but I'm
not entirely sure why, or what the new recommendation is... if you were
wanting to overlay dspace-api or make a lot of changes to the codebase, then
creating and including your own module would be the usual recommendation,
but for a few JSPUI changes (especially to presentation-related classes like
ItemTag) I think an overlay will be fine.

Hopefully somebody else will chip in if there's a new, better way of doing
this.

Cheers,

Kim

 Dear community,

 I have a Dspace version 1.6.2 with JSP User Interface.

 I made some customisation on the basic jsp file like home.jsp,
 community-home.jsp where I copied first the original file to the folder 
 C:\dspace-1.6.2-src-release\dspace\modules\jspui\src\main\webapp before
 modifying those files.

 But now I want to go a bit dipper than those files. I'd like to change the
 display for full item display. What I want to do is not showing the 3rd
 column which the language. I don't want this.
 So for instance here I want to change the file
 C:\dspace-1.6.2-src-release\dspace-jspui\dspace-jspui-api\src\main\java\org\dspace\app\webui\jsptag\ItemTag.java
 and just take out the third column that is describe in this part of the code
 (about line 619-630):

 // Three column table - DC field, value, language
out.println(centertable class=\itemDisplayTable\);
out.println(trth id=\s1\ class=\standard\
+ LocaleSupport.getLocalizedMessage(pageContext,
org.dspace.app.webui.jsptag.ItemTag.dcfield)
+ /thth id=\s2\ class=\standard\
+ LocaleSupport.getLocalizedMessage(pageContext,
org.dspace.app.webui.jsptag.ItemTag.value)
+ /thth id=\s3\ class=\standard\
+ LocaleSupport.getLocalizedMessage(pageContext,
org.dspace.app.webui.jsptag.ItemTag.lang)
+ /th/tr);

 My question is, is it possible to do like the jsp files and copy the file
 into another folder before doing the changes or is it not like how it should
 be done for the java file...

 Hope you understand my question and come back to me.

 Cheers,
 Philippe

Re: [Dspace-tech] A simplified version of dspace-services and Tomcat unloading

 Hello all,

 So, we've been debating the performance / resource usage of DSpace 1.6.
 This has just happened to coincide with work that I needed to do to qualify
 DSpace 1.6 (and/or 1.7) for our own use. So, for the past week or so, I've
 been hammering away at profiling DSpace. This isn't a comprehensive analysis
 of the entire codebase, but focusing on the serious issue of stability and
 resource leakage.

 This immediately led to finding two issues with the dspace-services code
 and it's dependencies:

 1) The resources in the FinalizableReferenceQueue were leaking (this was
 noted before in a Tomcat stack trace posted here) - this could have been
 avoided if a newer version of reflectutils had been used, along with the
 LifeCycleManager it contains

 2) A ThreadLocal in the CachingServiceImpl was also leaking - the service
 did attempt to clean up in the shutdown, but it would only ever have been
 able to clear up the resources of the thread executing the shutdown, not all
 the other threads that would have processed requests.

 Investigating the second issue, it turned out that this was being used to
 keep track of Request scope caches - as well as potentially leaking
 resources (across requests), this highlighted a problem in the service
 contract, and a dangerous coupling between the implementation of the
 services.

 The Caching service was written to return a Request scoped cache without
 any valid Request to bind it to - this was explicitly used in the listeners
 / filters to acquire a cache and assign request objects into it before the
 request service was called to 'start' a request and bind to the scoped
 cache. There were also tests that expected this behaviour. Whilst the
 request service will clear a request scoped cache if it's been bound to it,
 you can't guarantee that the cache gets bound to a request.

 Worse though, the Request service was depending on the Caching service
 tracking request scoped caches against the current thread in order to be
 able to track the current request. So, the one responsibility that the
 request service should have, it was passing on and hoping that another
 service might do the job for it without it being explicitly clear in the
 contract.

 If that wasn't bad enough, getCache doesn't actually properly respect the
 CacheScope when trying to retrieve a particular cache (it could retrieve a
 non-Request scoped cache if one of the same name had already been created,
 regardless of the scope parameter). The Caching service also registered an
 MBean that was never removed. And, to wrap up my examination of the Caching
 service, it didn't close an InputStream that it opened.

 So, onwards - wanting to simplify this code a bit (as we don't need to
 support non-Spring IoC containers, at least not yet - and we do need to be
 able to understand and maintain this code) - I quickly noticed an issue in
 the SpringServiceManager where it returned multiple instances of the same
 service name, because it was under the mistaken belief that it needed to
 track some of the service names itself, when it was actually getting them
 returned from Spring.

 And the ServiceMixinManager was entirely redundant - as long as we can rely
 on Spring, we can rely on the container to do everything that the Mixin
 manager does, without us having to worry about the complexity of it (and it
 is both relatively complex, and a source of our problems earlier as it uses
 the FinalizableReferenceQueue). I've actually got a real bugbear about us
 using the term 'mixin'. A mixin means something specific - a class that
 provides an actual implementation, and is combined with other mixins to
 produce other classes [through multiple-inheritance]. When you look at what
 is implemented in dspace-services under the term mixin, well we don't
 actually have mixins... we have interfaces that are implemented by service
 classes. Each service class completely and wholly provide implementations of
 the methods defined in all the interfaces they implement. That's a concept
 that Java has had for a long time, and is (should be) well understood by all
 Java programmers. That doesn't make them mixins. We don't/shouldn't want
 'mixins' (multiple inheritance - there is a reason Java doesn't support it).
 And we shouldn't be using a term incorrectly just because it's cool.

 While I'm on a terminology rant, I'm not particularly happy about the
 'interceptors' (ie. RequestInterceptor). They are looking and feeling a lot
 more like listeners than interceptors - allowing other services to react to
 events taking place (start request / end request), rather than affecting
 it's behaviour. I've not renamed them, for the sake of keeping as much of

Re: [Dspace-tech] XMLUI aspect/Discovery

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Mckeane,

ArtifactBrowser is supposed to be commented out in dspace-discovery's
xmlui.xconf, because Discovery replaces ArtifactBrowser.
The reason you don't see the aspect in your usual DSpace source code is
because it's in the XMLUI block in the Discovery source code, and is
overlaid by Maven during compile. (or something like that..)

Having tested out Discovery quite a lot from the wiki instructions, I'm 90%
sure that your problem is still that broken web.xml, but perhaps there's a
problem with your solr installation, too. Are solr statistics working
properly?

Cheers,

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] Harvest a collection/community

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Baseer,

When you say harvesting, are you looking to copy the contents of a
community/collection in one DSpace instance to another DSpace instance?
Export them to your workstation or another server?

Collections and communities in DSpace are mapped to OAI sets by default --
if you visit http://yoursite/oai/request/verb=ListSets you should see them
listed. Any complaint OAI-PMH (or OAI-ORE if you've enabled it) harvester
should be able to work with those sets, (or the repository as a whole, if
you like).

Manual pages for OAI-PMH interface and OAI harvester:
http://www.dspace.org/1_6_0Documentation/ch05.html#N14955
An OAI-PMH tutorial, in case you are not familiar with the specification:

Cheers,

Kim

 Hi Mckeane,

 I'm 'Mr' Shepherd... confusing name, I know. ;-)

 The executable to run is dspace, which is basically a special launcher
 that will run DSpace classes intended to be called from the command-line. It
 replaces dsrun in previous DSpace versions, and will eventually replace
 all the shell/bat scripts you see in the [dspace]/bin directory.

 update-discovery-index is an argument you can pass to the launcher.

 So if you have DSpace installed in dspace-instances/discovery, the full
 command should be:

 dspace-instances/discovery/bin/dspace update-discovery-index

 You can run dspace-instances/discovery/bin/dspace on its own to see all
 the different administrative tasks that can be run from the launcher.

 Cheers,

 Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] problems upgrading 1.5.2 to 1.6.2

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Wally,

It looks as though you still have some 1.5.2 JSPs sitting around, which is
confusing things. There was a very similar thread some weeks back (see:
http://www.mail-archive.com/dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net/msg10128.html)
which should hopefully give you some pointers.

I'll also note that:

1. Even though your URL includes a webapp name of 'xmlui', it seems to be a
JSPUI error that is appearing...
2. Since the server you're talking about seems to be live and public, I did
a few quick tests myself and things seem to be working ok, using 'xmlui' and
the default/ROOT webapp... I saw no errors or exceptions... but they both
seem to be JSPUI webapps and I wonder whether it might be a bit confusing
later on down the track...

Cheers,

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] Bulk editing of PDF bitstreams?

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Andrew,

I've had a few informal discussions with people around this as well, and one
approach we hit on was to create a new media-filter plugin to create access
versions of PDFs, with dynamically-generated coverpages attached.

The media filter plugins in DSpace are responsible for things like
extraction of full text from PDFs (creating the .pdf.txt bitstreams),
creating thumbnail images (eg. the .jpg.jpg bitstreams), and so on.

Advantages to this approach:

- The plugin would run regularly with the other media-filter plugins, so
there is no manual effort on the part of repository administrators

- The plugin would create a new version of the pdf for public access, so you
can still keep the original archived as a preservation copy rather than
manipulating the only copy in DSpace (and upsetting the checksum checker, as
helix mentioned in their reply)

- The items being filtered are already archived, so information like handle
URI can be used in the coverpage.

I believe something like this might already be used by one or two DSpace
repositories but I'm not 100% sure so I don't want to name any names yet
;-).

It's definitely something that's on my radar. If I come up with a demo
plugin I'll be sure to share it with the community.

Cheers!

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] Bulk editing of PDF bitstreams?

[Kim Shepherd]

Also, to give you an actual solution that'll work right now, here's what
I've done in the past (when forgetting to concatenate PDFs properly and
apply coverpages!):

1. Use the DSpace CLI export tool to export all items in the collection
you're working on:
[dspace]/bin/export -d /path/to/export/dir -i 12345/1 -n 0 -t COLLECTION,
where 12345/1 is the handle of your collection and /path/to/export/dir is
the directory you want your exported items to be stored.
(in DSpace 1.6 and later, you can use [dspace]/bin/dspace export instead
of [dspace]/bin/export)

2. Back the export directory up, just in case :)

3. Using a tool like PDFTK (http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/), write a Bash
or Perl script (or Windows batch file) to loop through directories and
concatenate the coverpage and original PDF into a new PDF, and delete the
old one.
The exact script you want will vary, but I can give some Linux examples if
you're interested. Note that the concatenation will fail on PDFs that are
secured.

4. Generate a map file associating the sequence numbers of your exported
items (the numbered directories in your export directory) with their
handles. This would be a lot easier if we could tell the dspace export CLI
app to generate a mapfile for us, but unfortunately that hasn't quite made
it into DSpace yet. I can offer some script examples here, too.

5. Use the generated mapfile to do a replace ([dspace]/bin/import -h to see
usage) of all the exported items back into the collection you're working in.

This approach doesn't actually generate the coverpages, it assumes you have
a single PDF you just want to attach to the front of your theses. It also
won't preserve the originals, unless you change Step 3 a little bit (keeping
old file, add a new entry to the item's contents file, change the bundle
of the original one to something other than ORIGINAL or CONTENT).

If you want to give this a try, I'd suggest testing everything out on a
small collection on a test server first, and performing backups at each step
of the way, because there are a lot of failure opportunities when working on
a whole set of items.

Cheers,

Kim.

Re: [Dspace-tech] item display page in XMLUI

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Hardik,

It depends exactly what you want to do.. most layout/presentation
changes in XMLUI can be made purely with CSS and templates.
Templates are defined in XSL stylesheets in
[dspace]/webapps/xmlui/themes/dri2xtml.
If you want to alter the appearance of item metadata display, the file
you want to have a look at is DIM-Handler.xsl. You can override
templates from here (like itemSummaryView-DIM and
itemDetailView-DIM) in your own theme's XSL.

Here's a small example on the DSpace wiki explaining how to render
line breaks in item abstracts:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Rendering+line+breaks+in+item+metadata+(Manakin)

If you need to do a more complicated task like including new forms on
the item pages or any kind of business logic, you'll need to take a
look at the ArtifactBrowser aspect
(org.dspace.app.xmlui.aspect.artifactbrowser.ItemViewer specifically).

You might also find the Manakin Developer's Guide useful:
http://drcdev.ohiolink.edu/handle/123456789/28

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Kim

ps. a lot of pages in the manakinhowto category in the DSpace wiki
have lost their proper formatting when the wiki was migrated to
Confluence.. I'll try and fix up the  and  tags in the next few days

Re: [Dspace-tech] Dspace with mods

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Jonathan,

I'm also interested in MODS: specifically, storing MODS or
MODS-in-METS as bitstreams in the METADATA bundle of an Item. So far I
haven't had a lot of success... I'll let you know if I figure out any
tricks.

It might help to read up about DSpaceMETSSIP packages (see
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpaceMETSSIPProfile), but
since ingested items are usually crosswalked to DC at the time of
ingest, metadata typically isn't stored as MODS, just crosswalked for
ingest, and also crosswalked for dissemination (eg. crosswalking DC to
MODS for dissemination in OAI-PMH)

As far as XMLUI's handling of METS/MODS bitstreams in the METADATA
bundle of an item: it isn't really documented, except to claim it's
possible (see http://www.dspace.org/1_6_2Documentation/ch07.html#N154ED)

I've managed to stick some METS (named METS.xml) into the METADATA
bundle of an item and get Manakin to access mets:fileSec properly
for serving up external CONTENT bitstreams, but so far, I've had no
luck getting any MODS inside mets:dmdSec accessible by
MODS-Handler.xsl.

If anyone is currently using METS and/or MODS-in-METS with XMLUI in
this way, I'd love to see some examples!

This is what I'm trying currently:

mets:dmdSec ID=dmd_1
mets:mdWrap MDTYPE=MODS

mets:xmlData

mods:mods

mods:titleInfo
mods:titleHere is my MODS title/mods:title
/mods:titleInfo

/mods:mods

/mets:xmlData
/mets:mdWrap
/mets:dmdSec

... followed by fileSec and structMap sections, which appear to work
OK (though they are handled by General-Handler.xsl and not
MODS-Handler templates)

Cheers,

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] Dspace with mods

[Kim Shepherd]

Further to this, I've managed to access some MODS embedded in dmdSec
of a METS.xml (METADATA bundle bitstream, just uploaded manually.. no
ingest/crosswalk), but only by altering DIM-Handler.xsl so it knows
about the mods namespace, and doing the query there.

eg.

   trtdspan class=boldMODS Title/span/td
tdxsl:value-of
select=/mets:METS/mets:dmdSec/mets:mdwr...@mdtype='MODS']/mets:xmlData/mods:mods/mods:titleInfo/mods:title/
/td
/tr

I can't seem to get this working from a template in MODS-Handler.xsl at all.

more, as well as MODS-Handler.xsl

Oh, mea culpa... for some reason it didn't occur to me to check
whether MODS-Handler was even being included in dri2xhtml.xsl -- it
(and QDC-Handler) were commented out by default. (My xslt still isn't
working, but I'll figure that out later!)

 plugins.  Any suggestions on how to get Mods records ingested into Dspace 
 and maintaining the Mods metadata would be greatly appreciated.

 I have also unsuccessfully tried to use manakin to display the Mods 
 metadata as a bitstream.  Also is it possible for manakin to index 
 bitstream metadata or is just just available for display?

 Thank you,

Re: [Dspace-tech] Meatadata dates stored as UTC

 I was looking at a series of photos of Mt St Helens prior to its eruption. It 
 struck me that the date and time recorded were part of a context. It was 
 crucial to know that it was 2.00pm on 29th June 1999 at Mt St Helens in the 
 US. If the date and time are converted to another local time they lose their 
 meaning, unless you are bright enough and have enough information to convert 
 the time back to what it would have been.

Oh... good point. In this particular case, it would have been better
to store the time with a proper timezone designator so that there was
enough information to restore the date to the creator's local time,
but we're still lacking the information that says this date ought to
be viewed in the creator's local time, or the local time of the region
in which the event occurred.

(also, in the case of photos, I know that JPEG exif metadata doesn't
store timezone designators without some extra work, so often you'll
get dates that are still in original local time, but have no timezone
offsets)

I see Mark put it better than me anyway:

Depending on how rich/accurate the metadata you get from depositors
is, and how fancy you want to make the interface, there may still be
ways to allow this user-level context selection. Any View this date
in X timezone features in UIs would still require something like an
encoding scheme for metadata values so that dates could be properly
detected.

Re: [Dspace-tech] dspace 1.6 upgradation windows error - Jspui /xmlui

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Aaron,

It seems as though your JSPUI webapp is still trying to use the 1.5.2
version of dspace-api -- have a look in the WEB-INF\lib folder of your
deployed webapp, and if you see files like dspace-api-1.5.2.jar and
dspace-jspui-api-1.5.2.jar, it means you're trying to run 1.6 JSPs on 1.5.x
code.

If this is the case, it might be worth rebuilding and redeploying
(copying/deploying the whole JSPUI directory, not just changed JSPs)

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Kim

 Subject: [Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.6.2 Release to fix key issues in 1.6.1
 
 The DSpace Developers would like to announce the release schedule for
 DSpace 1.6.2, which resolves an few key issues in 1.6.1.
 
 DSpace 1.6.2 is scheduled for public release on Wednesday, June 16,
 2010.
 
 DSpace 1.6.2 is a bug-fix release which will resolve two key issues
 found within 1.6.1.  This release will not introduce any new features.
 
 Shortly after the 1.6.1 release, it came to our attention that we
 accidentally broke the Unix-based 'start-handle-server' script (which
 provides an easy way to start up the DSpace Handle Server on Unix/Linux
 servers).  Although this issue does not cause any instability with
 DSpace software itself, the developers feel that it is important enough
 that it should be resolved as soon as possible.
 
 The DSpace 1.6.2 release resolves this 'start-handle-server' script
 issue, and also makes a few small improvements to the official DSpace
 Documentation.  In addition, 1.6.2 resolves a minor URL escaping issue
 located in the 1.6.x JSPUI.
 
 Because of the overlooked 'start-handle-server' bug, the DSpace
 Developers have taken steps to improve our Handle Server testing
 processes for future releases. CNRI (Corporation for National Research
 Initiatives) has kindly donated a Handle System Prefix
 (http://handle.net) to the DSpace project to help us improve our future
 testing processes.  We would like to thank CNRI for their kind
 donation.
   We also apologize for any issues this bug may have caused with your
 local 1.6.1 upgrades.
 
 Sincerely,
 
 The DSpace Developers

Re: [Dspace-tech] How to show the user, that there are embargo on an item.

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Tonny,

I've extended the UI on some of my local sites to show embargo status (to 
admins) prominently at the top of item record pages.. you could probably use 
org.dspace.embargo.EmbargoManager.getEmbargoDate(context, item)  and check for 
a non-null result, but ultimately the best way is probably to extend 
EmbargoManager with some good checker functions for use by UIs (rather than 
CLI).

The thing to remember is that EmbargoManager only knows an item is embargoed by 
checking for valid embargo lift date metadata, making sure the value is not in 
the past, and checking item/bitstream authorization policies.
Checking the lift date is the key to identifying items under embargo. (but 
could easily be susceptible to false positives if you have a lot of people 
editing item metadata frequently)

Cheers,

Kim

 The new embargo feature in version 1.6 is very needed, since 50% of the
 items we have in one of our arhcives are confidential.
 
 But I think we need to add a way, so the user can see theres embargo on
 an item. The user can only see it now, if they look at the date on the
 embargo field. I would like to hear how others have handled this? Have
 you changed the code, so it doesn't show the file, when theres an
 embargodate? have you created a red lamp or .

Re: [Dspace-tech] using oai harvesting in 16

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Jose,

If you are using JSPUI, you will need to use the command-line 'harvest' 
application to start harvests, whether you want to start a looping harvest or a 
single run.

You can run this with [dspace]/bin/dspace harvest.

Example:

# /usr/local/dspace/bin/dspace harvest -h
usage: Harvest

 -a,--addressaddress of the OAI-PMH server
 -P,--purge  purge all harvestable collections
 -R,--reset  reset harvest status on all collections
 -S,--start  start the harvest loop
 -c,--collection harvesting collection (handle or id)
 -e,--epersoneperson
 -g,--ping   test the OAI server and set
 -h,--help   help
 -i,--oai_set_id id of the PMH set representing the harvested
 collection
 -m,--metadata_formatthe name of the desired metadata format for
 harvesting, resolved to namespace and crosswalk in 
dspace.cfg
 -o,--once   run the harvest procedure with specified
 parameters
 -p,--purge  delete all items in the collection
 -r,--runrun the standrad harvest procedure
 -s,--setup  Set the collection up for harvesting
 -t,--type   type of harvesting (0 for none)

PING OAI server: Harvest -g -s oai_source -i oai_set_id
RUNONCE harvest with arbitrary options: Harvest -o -e eperson -c collection -t 
harvest_type -a oai_source -i oai_set_id -m metadata_format
SETUP a collection for harvesting: Harvest -s -c collection -t harvest_type -a 
oai_source -i oai_set_id -m metadata_format
RUN harvest once: Harvest -r -e eperson -c collection
START harvest scheduler: Harvest -S
RESET all harvest status: Harvest -R
PURGE a collection of items and settings: Harvest -p -e eperson -c collection
PURGE all harvestable collections: Harvest -P -e eperson

Kim

 I want to try out setting up a collection so that it can harvest its
 contents using oai in the jspui webapp.  When I go to the edit-
 collection page I see the options to do this, and I filled it out with
 the provider and set I'm interested in and format and have requested
 just to get the dc values, but how do I get Dspace to actually do the
 harvest.  I see that there is documentation for doing this for the
 xmlui webapp, but none for the jspui webapp. Is there a way to request
 dspace ( either via the UI or by command line ) to start the harvest in
 jspui?  I'm thinking that maybe a locally changed jsp file is
 inhibiting me from seeing this, but I have tried to use some of the
 official jsp pages and I can't see it.
 
 Many thanks!

[Dspace-tech] ANNOUNCEMENT: DSpace 1.6.1 is available now!

[Kim Shepherd]

All,

Today we'd like to announce the official release of DSpace 1.6.1!

DSpace 1.6.1 can be downloaded immediately at either of the following locations:

* SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dspace/files/
* SVN: http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/tags/dspace-1.6.1/

DSpace 1.6.1 is primarily a bug-fix release, which means it does not
introduce any new features but improves existing features and fixes
bugs discovered in earlier versions of DSpace.
This is also the first [minor] version of DSpace to use a
time-driven approach to release, rather than a feature-driven
approach: we set a deadline and worked towards releasing on that date,
instead of releasing when a certain number of issues were resolved.
DSpace 1.7 will be the first major time-driven release.

* Fixed issues *

42 issues were fixed in DSpace 1.6.1. The full list can be reviewed here:
http://jira.dspace.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=truepid=10020fixfor=10030

* Acknowledgements *

The DSpace application would not exist without the hard work and
support  of the community.
We'd like to extend gratitude to all the developers who worked hard to
fix issues discovered in 1.6.0 and earlier versions of DSpace. Big
thanks also go out to those who reported bugs, helped test patches and
gave their feedback to developers. Last but not least, thanks to
Jeffrey Trimble for his continued work as the DSpace documentation
gardener, ensuring that all our documentation is updated and
accurate.

A full list of people who contributed code to DSpace 1.6.1 can be found at:
http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/tags/dspace-1.6.1/dspace/CHANGES

Give yourselves and your colleagues a pat on the back today!  Again,
none of this could have happened without your hard work and support.

Thanks again!  Enjoy DSpace 1.6.1, and let us know what you think!

Sincerely,

The DSpace Developers

[Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.6.1 Release Update: Code freeze

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi all,

Today is the agreed date for the code freeze on DSpace 1.6.1.
The week from now until 21st May is to enable thorough testing of all the 
changes we've committed, without the dspace-1_6_x branch changing significantly 
while we do it.

This means:

- New JIRA issues won't be reviewed for inclusion into 1.6.1
- Any patches not yet committed won't be included

PDF/HTML documentation is going to be generated at the end of testing to allow 
for any small changes (wording, etc) we may have throughout the week.

There are some exceptions to the above rule -- there are some important updates 
to dspace-services which haven't quite been committed yet, and there's a date 
bug I'd like to fix if I can figure it out in the next few days.

Committers:
Please check with me (the earlier the better!) before committing anything not 
already in the Fix for 1.6.1 list so we can consider how critical the 
inclusion is, how to organise the extra testing around it, and what 
documentation changes it might need.

Developers:
Please make a noise if you are aware of critical/show-stopper bugs this release 
does not fix.

Everybody:
Help with testing is always appreciated -- this is going to be the main 
activity over the next 7 days.
The SVN area to check out is: 
http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/branches/dspace-1_6_x
All 1.6.1 JIRA issues (resolved and unresolved) are listed here: 
http://jira.dspace.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=truepid=10020fixfor=10030

If you've found a problem with one of the included bugfixes but can't find the 
specific JIRA issue to comment on, emailing the dspace-devel list is the next 
best thing.

I will talk to the folks at DuraSpace about the possibility of a snapshot on 
demo.dspace.org (or similar) to help testing by those who don't have 
time/resources to build their own test environments.

I think that's all.. if this notice seems late, it's because it's actually the 
morning of the 15th in New Zealand and I didn't want to get up at 4am on a 
Saturday ;-)

Cheers!

[Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.6.1 roadmap and call for volunteers

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi all,

 

DSpace 1.6.1 development has started!

 

With the release of DSpace 1.6, the DSpace developer community is now focusing 
attention on the next major release, DSpace 1.7, and on DSpace 1.6.1, which 
will be a minor release to fix any bugs found in DSpace 1.6.0.

 

I've volunteered to be Release Coordinator for 1.6.1, so to start things off I 
thought I'd describe what we're hoping to achieve with this version and how you 
can help!

 

DSpace 1.6.1 will not introduce any new features. The only patches that will be 
accepted for inclusion are those that fix bugs affecting DSpace 1.6.0.

 

At the last DSpace Developers' IRC meeting, it was decided to release 1.6.1 in 
early May. That gives us about a month to fix as many bugs as possible. Any 
patches that are not submitted in time for 1.6.1 can be submitted for inclusion 
for 1.6.2.

 

Proactive testers, users and developers have been reporting bugs on JIRA 
(http://jira.dspace.org http://jira.dspace.org ) so the work has already 
begun!

 

Any questions? What to help, but not sure how? There are a number of ways 
people can get involved, regardless of skills or experience:

 

-Register an account at http://jira.dspace.org http://jira.dspace.org  to 
report new bugs (“issues”), test patches and submit your own

-Collaborate with users and developers on the dspace-devel and dspace-tech 
mailing lists

-Join us in #duraspace at Wednesday 20:00 UTC for the DSpace Developers IRC 
meeting http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Developer_Meetings 

-Email me directly mailto:k...@waikato.ac.nz  with any 1.6.x-related 
questions, comments, or offers of help

 

If you’ve already noticed some bugs on JIRA that you think you can fix, let me 
know ASAP and I’ll ensure you’re assigned to that issue. I’d also love to hear 
from any experienced developers who want to put their hands up as “general 
volunteers”, so if we have any unassigned JIRA issues after our weekly review, 
they can find a home.

 

I’ll be keeping the community updated, mainly via the IRC meetings, but 
hopefully I’ll get time to send a few progress reports out to dspace-devel as 
well.

 

Notes for developers and testers:

 

1.7.0 and 1.6.1 will be developed in parallel, which has a few implications for 
developers and testers when it comes to writing and testing patches, updating 
local SVN repositories, and committing code to the DSpace codebase.

 

The SVN branch for DSpace 1.6.x is here:

 

http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/branches/dspace-1_6_x/ 
http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/branches/dspace-1_6_x/ 

 

Development for Dspace 1.7.0 will continue in trunk:

 

http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/trunk/ 
http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/trunk/ 

 

Virtually all patches accepted for 1.6.1 will also need to be tested against, 
modified if necessary, and committed to 1.7.0.

 

No feature additions or improvements will be committed to the 1.6.x branch.

 

As development for Dspace 1.7.0 progresses, we may encounter situations where a 
fix for a bug needs to be implemented quite differently in each version, so we 
will need to be vigilant with our testing and prepared to submit two patch 
versions where they differ.

 

Test instances

 

I’ll endeavour to get snapshots of 1.6.x branch built and served somewhere so 
that community members who don’t have the time/resources to set up their own 
test server can still help confirm bugs, test patches and so on.

 

Cheers,

 

Kim

Hi John,

 

Nobody will get upset with you! Finding bugs is helpful! ;-)

If you’re not 100% sure that what you’ve noticed is a bug, you could send an 
email to dspace-devel (dspace-de...@lists.sourceforge.net) and explain the 
problem and how to replicate it.

If you’re pretty sure it’s a bug, you could go straight to 
http://jira.dspace.org, register a user, and create a new “issue” ticket. The 
developers watch new issues closely and this is a good way of getting their 
attention.

 

Cheers!

 BTW, 1 + 2 are technically the same thing... the EPerson's default
 locale is stored in the current session when they log in - overriding
 what is currently there.
 
 The UI selection will update the Locale in the current session -
 overriding whatever is there currently (either a previous choice, or
 the EPerson's default that has been inserted in the session).
 
 So priority of choosing a message to display is:
 
 1. Session locale setting
 2. Browser default locale
 3. DSpace default locale

Re: [Dspace-tech] Installing Dspace 1.5 on Ubuntu 8.10 [antfresh_install] error

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi there,

The key error in the log you pasted below is this:

org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Connection refused. Check that the hostname 
and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections.

Ant cannot connect to your Dspace database. Since this is a fresh install, you 
should make sure that you have created your PostgreSQL (or Oracle) database and 
user as per http://www.dspace.org/1_5_1Documentation/ch03.html#N10787 , and 
also go through [dspace-source]/dspace/config/dspace.cfg and make sure that the 
database properties (name, user, password, driver, url) are all set correctly.

(note: since this is the first install and you don't have a [dspace]/configs 
dir set up yet, you'll be editing your source dspace.cfg. You'll either have to 
rebuild after changing thi dspace.cfg, or at least manually copy it over to 
[dspace-source]/dspace/target/dspace-1.5.2-build.dir/config before running ant 
fresh_install)

Cheers,

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] Arabic language in dspace

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi,

 

If it’s happening in one interface and not the other, I’d suspect a character 
encoding issue – make sure your JSPUI is using ‘utf-8’.

 

To make sure your searches are optimised for Arabic words / stems, it might 
also be worth taking a look at the Arabic Lucene analyzer:

Re: [Dspace-tech] Can Stemming be turned off in DSpace Lucenesearches?

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Sue,

 

Search analysis, filtering, stemming etc. is done by Apache Lucene, but there 
is a “DSAnalyzer” supplied by default with Dspace, The quickest way to achieve 
what you want may be to just comment out the steps you don’t want carried out 
in org.dspace.search.DSAnalyzer:

 

This function is the one you want to modify:

 

   /*

 * Create a token stream for this analyzer.

 */

public final TokenStream tokenStream(String fieldName, final Reader reader)

{

TokenStream result = new DSTokenizer(reader);

 

result = new StandardFilter(result);

result = new LowerCaseFilter(result);

result = new StopFilter(result, stopSet);

result = new PorterStemFilter(result);  // THIS IS THE CALL TO THE 
STEMMER

 

return result;

}

 

The PorterStemFilter() call at the end is the stemmer you’re talking about, and 
the StopFilter ignores common conjunctions, pronouns etc. – I would recommend 
at least keeping the StandardFilter and LowerCaseFilter.

 

I haven’t tried exactly what you’re asking about, so I can’t guarantee results, 
but I have successfully added new filter steps without any hassles.

 

Cheers,

 

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] handle-server setup

Hi Lewatle,

 

In your [dspace]/bin directory, there is a script called “update-handle-prefix”

 

If, for example, your new handle is 858585:

 

[dspace]/bin/update-handle-prefix 123456789 858585

 

This will update the old handles with a default handle prefix without bothering 
your new, correct items/collections/communities.

I was setting up handle server for my University, and everything went well in 
such a way that changes apply only for new submissions, if we submit or import

What we really need is to change the default handle prefix e.g 123456789 to all

Re: [Dspace-tech] [Dspace-devel] statistics

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Pradip,

 

(cc’ing to dspace-tech)

 

I can’t guarantee this is the problem, but I’ve encountered this SQL error 
running stat-initial when I’ve had two metadata schemas that both had 
element/qualifier combinations that some Dspace queries expect to be unique.

 

For instance, on one of my instances I have “uow.date.accessioned”, an 
accession date from a previous repository stored in our custom “uow” metadata 
schema, but the subquery run by  stat-initial  (when it’s getting a count of 
non-withdrawn items)  looks for metadata with element ‘date’ and qualifier 
‘accessioned’ but ignores schema ID – both results are returned, and the 
exception is thrown because the subquery should only have returned one result.

 

The quick fix would be to rename the custom metadata field to something other 
than date.accessioned, or to modify the item count query so that 
“element=’date’ AND qualifier=’accessioned’ AND metadata_schema_id=1”. It seems 
pretty likely that Dublin core is always going to be schema ID ‘1’ but I guess 
I wouldn’t want to automatically assume that, either.

 

Cheers,

 

Kim

I assume this is to do with database schema rather than metadata registry

see the schema ID I'm talking about.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Strange Search results

[Kim Shepherd]

HI Sue,

 

I think you’re correct here... ‘ant’ and ‘er’ are both common English stems, 
and Lucene is probably just being clever by chopping them off when indexing and 
searching. 

http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_2_0/api/org/apache/lucene/analysis/package-summary.html
 gives some info on Lucene’s analysis and filtering in general, but you’d 
probably need to take a look under the hood to see exactly which word suffixes 
it’s ignoring and in which situations.

 

Cheers,

 

Kim

I thought maybe Lucene was cutting off the “er” and/or “ant”, but couldn’t find 
this anywhere in the documentation.  Does anyone know what might be going on?

Re: [Dspace-tech] Submitter login problem

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Dorothea,

Given the /submission connection, I'm wondering if there are any problems 
caused by an item that's been partially-submitted by the user (the items that 
display in the /submissions page normally).

Perhaps you could check the Workflow/Unfinished Tasks out as your admin user, 
and remove those that were submitted originally by the user having the problems.

If that doesn't help, the other thing I'd recommend is turning on debug-level 
logging in Dspace in case that reveals a problem the logs aren't telling us now.
To do this, just change this line in [dspace]/config/log4j.properties:

log4j.rootCategory=INFO, A1

to

log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, A1

Your logs will be a lot busier and won't be entirely easy to read, but it could 
be worth a go.

Cheers,

Kim

 Does that suggest anything to anyone? Again, nothing in the DSpace

Re: [Dspace-tech] browse layout for different collection

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Mallikarjun,

 

The answer depends on whether you’re using JSPUI or XMLUI.. I’ll assume you’re 
using JSPUI for now.

 

Find the ‘webui.itemdisplay’ section in your dspace.cfg

 

#webui.itemdisplay.default = dc.title, dc.title.alternative, dc.contributor.*, \

#dc.subject, dc.date.issued(date), dc.publisher, \

#dc.identifier.citation, 
dc.relation.ispartofseries, \

#dc.description.abstract, dc.description, \

#dc.identifier.govdoc, dc.identifier.uri(link), \

#dc.identifier.isbn, dc.identifier.issn, \

#dc.identifier.ismn, dc.identifier

 

This is the [commented-out] default display config. If you haven’t done so 
already, you’ll want to come up with a good default display configuration so 
that all your non-thesis collections display the metadata you want them to.

 

Then, simply create another entry like this called ‘webui.itemdisplay.thesis’ 
or something, list the metadata fields you want displayed, and underneath, 
associate this display config with a collection, like:

 

webui.itemdisplay.thesis.collections = 123456789/24, 123456789/35

 

Note that this will only affect the simple item view, and requires 
Tomcat/Dspace to be restarted.

 

Hope this helps – if you are using XMLUI, have a read of 
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Modify_item_metadata_display_(Manakin) to see 
how you can override the itemSummaryView-DIM template.

 

Cheers,

 

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] Adding page with xmlui header and footer

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi John,

 

This is possibly best done with a full Manakin aspect rather than just at the 
XSLT level, but this little trick seems to work (unfortunately we don’t get 
tokenize() to make our job easier):

 

xsl:variable name=queryString 
select=/dri:document/dri:meta/dri:pageMeta/dri:metada...@element='request']...@qualifier='queryString']/

xsl:variable name=p2Param

   xsl:choose

   xsl:when test=contains($queryString, 'amp;')

   xsl:value-of 
select=substring-before(substring-after($queryString,'p2='),'amp;')/

   /xsl:when

   xsl:otherwise

xsl:value-of select=substring-after($queryString,'p2=')/

/xsl:otherwise

/xsl:choose

/xsl:variable

 

This should populate $p2Param with the value of the ‘p2’ GET parameter, 
regardless of whether it is the only GET parameter passed, and no matter where 
it appears in $queryString.

 

I’m CC’ing to the list for more input because there might be traps with this 
approach I’m not totally aware of, and without knowing exactly what you’re 
trying to achieve, I’m not sure if we should be looking to do this all at the 
XSLT level. A simple transformer might end up making things a lot easier. (See: 
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Create_a_new_aspect_(Manakin) )

 

Cheers,

 

Kim

Hi John,

 

The request element in your page metadata is probably the best place to start 
looking.

 

 This query should help:

 

select=/dri:document/dri:meta/dri:pageMeta/dri:metada...@element='request']...@qualifier='URI']

 

If someone is visiting http://machine/xmlui/123456789/12345, that’ll return 
“123456789/12345”, for example.

It won’t return GET parameters that might be in the URI, but you can use the 
‘queryString’ qualifier instead of the ‘URI’ qualifier to access those.

 

If you’re looking for DRI metadata, appending ?XML to the end of an address 
while browsing (or XML if you’re using GET stuff as well) should help, and 
http://www.dspace.org/1_5_2Documentation/ch13.html#N15E41 might help as well.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Removing Community-List from front page - XMLUI

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Jennifer,

 

The best way would be to override the ArtifactBrowser aspect – took me a while 
to figure out the correct paths while I was testing this live, but I imagine 
(hope!) if you put a custom sitemap.xmap into 
[dspace-src]/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/resources/aspects/ArtifactBrowser/sitemap.xmap,
 then rebuild, your overridden sitemap will be used.

 

(FWIW, the quick way to test this live is to make a 
WEB-INF/classes/aspects/ArtifactBrowser directory beneath your main xmlui 
webapp directory, copy the original ArtifactBrowser sitemap.xmap (you can find 
it in your dspace-xmlui-api source tree) into this directory and make changes 
from there)

 

Once you’ve got everything copied over and ready to customise, you can take a 
look at the file itself, and when you get to:

 

map:match pattern=

 

Then you’re matching the homepage.

You’ll see that within this pattern match, the CommunityBrowser transform is 
called:

 

map:transform type=CommunityBrowser

   map:parameter name=depth value=1/

 /map:transform

 

You can just remove this map:transform block altogether, and the resulting 
homepage won’t display the community list.

 

I’m just re-reading this now and it’s pretty messy to follow, sorry... just 
reply if you get stuck.

 

Cheers,

 

Kim

To any XSLT experts out there. Or at least anyone who is better than me.

 

 

We are preparing our test instance of 1.5.2 to go live, and one of the 
requirements is that the list of communities is removed from the front page. In 
the main theme I started off with

 

 xsl:template match=/dri:document/dri:body/dri:d...@id = 
'aspect.artifactbrowser.CommunityBrowser.div.comunity-browser'] /

 

but then found out that the community-list page displays the list of 
communities/collections in the same way.

 

So I need to remove from the front page, but keep on the community-list page.

 

The next bit I tried was:

 

 xsl:template name=removeCommunity
  xsl:choose
   xsl:when 
test=string(/dri:document/dri:meta/dri:pageMeta/dri:metada...@qualifier='URI'])
 != 'community-list'
xsl:apply-templates select=/dri:document/dri:body/dri:d...@id = 
'aspect.artifactbrowser.CommunityBrowser.div.comunity-browser'] mode=hide /

   /xsl:when
   xsl:otherwise
xsl:apply-templates select=/dri:document/dri:body/dri:d...@id = 
'aspect.artifactbrowser.CommunityBrowser.div.comunity-browser'] /
   /xsl:otherwise
  /xsl:choose
 /xsl:template
 
 xsl:template 
match=/dri:document/dri:body/dri:d...@id='aspect.artifactbrowser.CommunityBrowser.div.comunity-browser']
 mode=hide priority=1 /

 

 

Which actually shows both of them (though I thought it would do the opposite). 
It seems (to me) that the only way to hide it on the front page is to make a 
template to match comunity-browser, but that would still hide it everywhere 
else.

 

If anyone knows how I can solve this problem in XSLT could you please let me 
know? Otherwise if there's a way to do this in the source?

 

 

Thanks

Re: [Dspace-tech] Arabic Support in Dspace

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Antonio,

 

If you haven’t found any documentation or examples specifically for Arabic, you 
might be interested in this Persian example from EIAH – it was demonstrated at 
OR 09 and handles a lot of the challenges you will face – right to left hand 
side (and bidirectional when English phrases are quoted etc), zero-width 
non-joiners, etc..

 

The slides/presentation notes are here: 
http://conferences.library.gatech.edu/or/or09/paper/viewPDFInterstitial/153/65

 

It doesn’t go into a great deal of detail – it was fascinating just to see that 
this is possible, though, so perhaps the people at EIAH can help to document 
this further or share some notes. I believe there are many similarities between 
Persian and Arabic character/input/date handling?

 

Cheers,

Re: [Dspace-tech] Strange Behaviour when exporting items and collections

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Manuel,

 

I’m assuming that you’re exporting from the CLI here, but if that’s not the 
case please say so..

Do you use ‘sudo’ when running dsrun? (I’m guessing so, or you wouldn’t be able 
to create the files beneath the exports folder if it’s owned by root). If so, 
you’re effectively running the ‘dsrun’ command as root unless you do something 
like ‘sudo –u tomcat dsrun org.dspace.app..’ or ‘sudo –u dspace dsrun 
...’ – the username you pass to sudo should be whatever user dspace is 
actually running as.

 

If you get sudo errors when you try this, you may need to ask the sysadmin to 
allow you to sudo ‘dsrun’ as your dspace user as well as (or, preferably, 
instead of!) root. You’ll also want them to change ownership of 
[dspace]/export/* to the dspace user, or you won’t be able to write to it.

 

There’s no need to be concerned about Dspace itself escalating privileges to 
root when it shouldn’t be – the dsrun script will run as whatever user it 
thinks is running it (‘effective user’), so if you make sure you can sudo to 
the dspace/tomcat user rather than just to root, you should be able to avoid 
any root-owned files/dirs being created.

 

If you’re using the webui or I’m totally barking up the wrong tree, apologies 
-- maybe give a few more details about how you’re exporting items/collections.

 

Cheers,

 

Kim

Hi Sarah,

The webui.itemdisplay.default parameter in dspace.cfg will allow you to change 
the metadata that is displayed for a simple item record, etc.

#webui.itemdisplay.default = dc.title, dc.title.alternative, dc.contributor.*, \
#dc.subject, dc.date.issued(date), dc.publisher, \
#dc.identifier.citation, 
dc.relation.ispartofseries, \
#dc.description.abstract, dc.description, \

#dc.identifier.isbn, dc.identifier.issn, \
#dc.identifier.ismn, dc.identifier

Changing the full item record display in JSPUI is a bit trickier... but adding 
a webui.itemdisplay.full might not be a bad configuration option, hmm...

Subject: [Dspace-tech] Files in this item

 

Hi all,

 

Here I am again, wanting to change things!

 

On the “Simple item record” page, in the listing of “Files in this item”,

are the headings File, Size, View, Format and Description.  I don’t 

require any info on Format, and View seems rather redundant as I can

click on the filename to view the bitstream.  Am I able to remove these

fields?

 

Cheers,

Lyn

 Well, I'd leave those alone and just copy what you need into a theme,
 then customize it there, but yes, your starting point is in there.
 
  One further questions, since I have been in those files looking at
  them.  Is it possbile to code more indepth HTML coding like Tables,
  TR, TD or will cocoon cough at this during transformation?
 
 I think you could, but haven't tried anything extensive myself.
 Cocoon is just running the XSL engine over its inputs.  If you keep the
 namespaces straight, HTML should just flow through.  What you have to
 watch is how the various XSL bits assemble the page, so you wind up
 with well-formed HTML.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Dspace.org

[Kim Shepherd]

It's got an awfully big TTL (one week!) so if it wasn't lowered to 5min - 24 
hours well before the IP change, I'd say that's the reason it seems to be 
propagating so slowly... I can only see the new record though, so that's just a 
guess.

Re: [Dspace-tech] TAMU OAI Harvester

[Kim Shepherd]

(subject changed since this is a slight derail)

I've been testing this new feature as well, and it's excellent. I have some 
things I'd like to add/change:

- The ability to pass null OAI Set IDs, so entire repositories can be 
harvested... I've already tested this one on my test server

- Some better handling of dc.creator vs. dc.contributor and dc.date vs 
dc.date.* and dc.identifier.* when ingesting the new items

- More error-tolerant metadataPrefix handling.. some repos return 
invalid/erroneous namespace strings, even if they do support a certain metadata 
format

Definitely a useful feature, and I'd really like to see it make it into Dspace 
1.6.

Cheers,

Kim

  Hi!
 
  As you'll have seen from recent emails, the DSpace community has now
  released version 1.5.2 of the DSpace software. It has many new
  features, some enhancements to current features, and some bug fixes.
  Many of you will also know that a small team of developers have been
  working on DSpace version 2.0 which will bring with it many
  essential architectural enhancements to ensure that DSpace continues
  to fulfil the needs of the user community over the coming years.
  DSpace 2.0 is likely to be released early in 2010.
 
  In the mean time, the DSpace committers have decided to start
  working on DSpace version 1.6. By moving to 1.6 (rather than 1.5.3)
  we can add new features that require changes to underlying DSpace
  database. We can't tell you just yet what new features will be in
  version 1.6 because we haven't decided! And that is where you come
  in...
 
  We'd like you to tell us which three features you would like to see
  in version 1.6. To help you do this, we have created an online
  survey at http://dspacesurvey.info/. We know nobody likes to be
  bombarded with surveys, so we've kept this one really short. In
  fact, it asks only one question:
 
  What should be in DSpace version 1.6?
 
  The survey has three boxes to enable you to tell us what your top
  three new features would be. We can then look at all the survey
  responses to help decide where we should devote our development
  effort. We'll put all the commonly requested features into JIRA
 (http://jira.dspace.org/
  ) to enable further commenting and voting. As always, if you want to
  develop your own new features, we'd love to work with you to get
  those features included provided that they are in scope, or if you
  want to work with us on the new features that the community votes
  for, please get in touch! The DSpace community relies on developers
  donating their time and expertise to help improve the software. If
  you want to join in, get in touch at the dspace-devel email list.
 
  But for now, what are you waiting for? Fill in the survey...
 http://dspacesurvey.info/
 
 
  (Please complete the survey by the 28th of April as we'll close it
  then)

Re: [Dspace-tech] High Availability DSpace

[Kim Shepherd]

I think the situation being described here is that the ‘6’ are physical cluster 
nodes, not VMs. Vmotion ensures VM integrity while they’re being moved around.

 

The setup I work with is all based on VMs in an ESX cluster as well, and it’s 
great, but I think our plan is to eventually have another cluster hosted in a 
separate building, with some kind of regular replication (rsync + slony-I or 
similar), so that we not only take advantage of the robustness, scalability and 
cool features of an ESX cluster but can feel safe knowing that we’re not 
relying solely on that cluster, its SAN, etc., or even that one datacentre.

 

This stuff is more focusing on ensuring the machine/OS is available, rather 
than clustering or load balancing between Dspace nodes. I’m not sure where to 
start with the latter, and I don’t recall seeing it discussed.

 

/2c

 

(I also have some ideas related to Amazon’s EC2 service, and having some 
offline backup images stored there that can be brought up in the event of a 
local failure, but I haven’t tested or investigated it too thoroughly yet)

 

Cheers,

 

Kim.

In theory, from reading the documentation in my limited experience, it 
allows the clustering of many real hardware elements to support a Virtual 
Datacenter/Virtual Infrastructure. 

 

In practice, 1 of 6 in a VMware cluster had a memory problem; we 
vmotioned the DSpace to another in the cluster, there was no break in service, 
the real host went off-line for servicing. The same was done for upgrading 
bios. The vmotion can be set to trigger conditionally. It gives you one more 
layer for high availability.

In this case, is it setup so that the 6 vmware virtual machines have separate 
DSpace instances, and something like linuxha routes requets to the seperate 
instances. If so how do you keep each of the DSpace instances in sync.

[Dspace-tech] Custom modules (overriding Dspace API)

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Mark (and others!),

Just picking up on a thread that was being discussed a few months ago, I'm 
having a go at overriding some classes in org.dspace.search and 
org.dspace.content by creating a custom module, to try and tidy things up from 
the 'patch code in place' method I've been using to date.

It's being built correctly, appears in the target/../lib dir (and in 
WEB-INF/lib of my JSPUI webapp, once I added  a dependency in my jspui 
pom.xml), but my altered classes don't seem to be taking effect.

My module is called lconz-api. I've given it a version of 1.5.1.

Paths look like this:
--

dspace-1.5.1-src-release/dspace/modules/lconz-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/content
dspace-1.5.1-src-release/dspace/modules/lconz-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/search

My lconz-api/pom.xml looks like this:

I've added a line to modules/pom.xml as well:

modulelconz-api/module

I added a dependency to dspace/pom.xml:

dependency
 groupIdorg.dspace.modules/groupId
 artifactIdlconz-api/artifactId
 version1.5.1/version
  /dependency


At this stage, my jar is being built and copied to target/.../lib, but doesn't 
make it into my JSPUI's WEB-INF/lib. I'm not sure if it *needs* to be there 
(they are strictly dspace-api overrides, not dspace-jspui-api), but just in 
case, I added the above dependency to dspace/modules/jspui/pom.xml.

This ensures the jar ends up in WEB-INF/lib, but I'm still not seeing my new 
code taking effect.

Is there anything obvious I've missed here?

I'm fairly sure I had this working (in a different source tree) when it was 
first being discussed, which is even more frustrating for me ;)

Cheers,

Kim.

Re: [Dspace-tech] [Dspace-general] digital image collections

[Kim Shepherd]

I've created a Wiki page for snippets/recipes, hopefully themes can be linked 
to from there as well:

http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Manakin_Themes_and_Recipes

My initial layout might need tweaking, but I thought I'd have a go at getting 
the ball rolling on this while I had a snippet to share.

I have a few more recipes to put up, but will wait until I know I'm on the 
right track with this wiki page..

Cheers,

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] a button labelled???jsp.mydspace.request.export.community.???

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Van,

 

The original is in 
[dspace-source]dspace-api/src/main/resources/Messages.properties, as you 
mention.

Your version should go in 
[dspace-source]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/resources – that way ant will 
always deploy it to [dspace]/webapps when you rebuild.

 

Jewel, hopefully this helps you as well. For your second question, there is no 
“jsp” directory like there was in earlier versions of Dspace, the JSPs are now 
in [dspace-source]/dspace-jspui/dspace-jspui-webapp/src/main/webapp 

If you want to make alterations to any, it’s best to copy them to 
[dspace-source]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/webapp and alter them there. This 
will keep the originals intact and use your copies in any rebuilds.

 

Cheers,

 

Kim

Hi Kim,

 

Thanks.

 

From [0] I have in Messages.properties a line of value 
jsp.mydspace.request.export.community = Submit

 

But which of the Messages.properties is the source for the installation copy? 
[1, 2]

 

Without rebuilding, I copied [x] to [y] and inserted that line and restarted 
tomcat, the button looks as it should without the question marks.

 

I suppose [i] is one source for setting that line... and a DSpace rebuild would 
do the trick but I don't recall the Messages.properties file was ever installed 
in the first place.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Community does not exist error on Mac OS 10.5DSpace install

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Eric,

This time, Dspace was unable to connect to the database...
(slightly surprising, I would have assumed by your previous error that Dspace 
had connected to the DB but just couldn't query 'community' -- however, 
technically that's still true, we just never saw the actual pgsql error)
Please check [dspace]/config/dspace.cfg and just make sure that the hostname, 
username and password are correct for your PostgreSQL database, and that 
pg_hba.conf (in your postgresql data or config dir) is allowing the appropriate 
host/user to connect to the Dspace database in the appropriate method.

I probably should have reminded to make up existing configs, etc. before 
running fresh_install, and that [dspace-source]/dspace/config/dspace.cfg is the 
safest place to keep your local changes.

Cheers,

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] Community does not exist error on Mac OS 10.5DSpace install

[Kim Shepherd]

Ah, that sounds better.
Your main webapp is called 'jspui', 'dspace' was the default name of the JSPUI 
webapp in 1.4, but this is no longer the case in 1.5
If you want /dspace to stay in the base URL, it's a simple case of renaming the 
jspui webapp before/while deploying to Tomcat.

So - nothing to worry about, /jspui is the one you want by default anyway.

Cheers,

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] a button labelled???jsp.mydspace.request.export.community.???

Hi Van,

 

Yes, you’re correct, that indicates a missing key from Messages.properties – I 
think this one is known to be missing from the 1.5.1 release, but it’s probably 
quicker to just add it in yourself rather than try to find it in the tracker. 

 

Cheers,

 This sounds like a good thing.  It would automate a very tedious
 process that uses information which is much more accessible to the
 machine than to the human.  It's possible to get the database out of
 sync. with the form designs, but then it was always possible to get the
 mapping element out of sync. with the actual form designs too, and
 (either way) it's not too hard to build a periodic check if this
 becomes a serious issue.
 
 Would you submit a feature-request tracker item on SourceForge?
 
 I think that this should be an ordinary editable attribute of the
 collection, so that the collection's admin.s can do it without
 bothering/waiting for the site admin.s.

+1!

That sounds like a great idea to me, too.. at the moment, repository admins can 
edit their metadata registries, bitstream format registries, etc. but still 
have to wait for me when they want to map a collection to a new form in 
input-forms.xml (which in itself is tedious to maintain, as Mark points out).

Even just getting the mapping in would be great, but I'd also love an 'Edit 
Input Forms' page with a similar layout and function to the Metadata Registry 
page, ie. Type the name of your form element, choose the input type 
(text,combo,checkbox, etc) from a dropdown list, set required yes/no, assign 
controlled vocabs if necessary..

Cheers,

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] script to validate all PDFs ?

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Stuart,

Example assetstore file:

${dspace.dir}/assetstore/95/80/98/95809816172544348784747013964495251419

The filename itself is in bitstream.internal_id in the dspace database, and the 
directory names are just the first 6 numbers of the internal ID.

Here's a SQL query that resolves internal_ids to item_id (aka record ID) and 
handle (which should tie into URL):

select item.item_id,handle,bitstream.internal_id from 
item,item2bundle,bundle2bitstream,handle,bitstream where item.item_id = 
item2bundle.item_id and item2bundle.bundle_id = bundle2bitstream.bundle_id and 
bundle2bitstream.bitstream_id = bitstream.bitstream_id and handle.resource_id = 
item.item_id;

I've never looked at writing a script based on this (we are just doing the 
standard checksum checking at the moment) but it shouldn't be too difficult.

(if you want to cut down on analysing non-PDFs with 'file', you could use 
bitstream.bitstream_format_id to build a list of PDFs before running the 
filesystem-level tools, too..)

Cheers,

Kim.

 Does anyone have a script that checks all of the previously uploaded

 I can see how to write a script that uses the unix command line 'file'
 and 'pdftops' tools to check that every file that looks like a PDF is a

Re: [Dspace-tech] Creator name not showing on browse/search

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi,

I'm thinking you might not need to go this deep. This is from a standard Dspace 
1.5.1 configuration file:

## Set the options for how authors are displayed in the browse listing

# Define which field is the author/editor etc listing.  This should be listed 
in the
# field webui.itemlist.columns, otherwise it will have no effect.
# This cannot be a field already marked out as a title or a date, as this
# will also have no effect.  This is used in conjunction with the
# webui.browse.author-limit field below, to truncate author lists.  For
# configuring links to author publication lists use webui.browse.link below.
# (This setting is not used by the XMLUI as it is controlled by your theme)
#
# webui.browse.author-field = dc.contributor.*

I am assuming that uncommenting the 'webui.browse.author-field' property and 
setting it to dc.creator will achieve what you're after in terms of telling 
Dspace who the author is.

Note that you will have to confirm the column configuration in 
webui.itemlist.columns as well:

In your case, you'll probably want to change:

webui.itemlist.columns = thumbnail, dc.date.issued(date), dc.title, 
dc.contributor.*

to

webui.itemlist.columns = thumbnail, dc.date.issued(date), dc.title, dc.creator

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Kim

 As far as I could remember, to have changes in the browse listing you
 may need to modify the following files:
 
 BrowseServlet.java
 BrowseListTag.java
 full.jsp
 single.jsp
 
 The jsp is for jspui only. Something else is needed to be done if you

 The above files are related to browsing. Search result listing is
 another story.

  The third column in the browse-title page is supposed to display the

 the

Re: [Dspace-tech] [Dspace-general] opening a collection to submission to allregistered users

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Wayne,

 

[replying to dspace-tech rather than dspace-general, since it’s a slightly 
techie answer]

 

It might come down to what pattern matching you can do on e-people to figure 
out who is a grad student and who isn’t...

StackableAuthentication can be made to do some cool stuff... MIT do something 
similar to what you’re suggesting, where they match certain email address 
domains, and give special group membership based on that. If there’s anything 
common to grad students that Dspace knows about (eg. email, phone extension) or 
can find out about (eg. IP address range), then StackableAuthentication can 
help.

 

If you have student accounts in AD,  perhaps it’s worth looking at LDAP to get 
more group membership info.

 

I’ve only scratched the surface with this stuff, so I can’t give any meaningful 
advice, sorry, just throwing some ideas out there.

Is there a simple way to enable all registered users to submit to a given 
collection?
For our e-thesis collection all graduating students will be submitters.
Rather than having each one register and request to be added to the submitter 
group, it would be nice if DSpace recognized each student as a valid submitter 
as soon as she/he registers.
Am I overlooking a simple solution?
If not, I'm thinking about a nightly routine to add any new users to the 
submitter group.

We are using DSpace 1.5, xmlui/manakin.

Thanks.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Local modifications to DSpace .java programs, in 1.5.1

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Sue,

 

I’m pretty new at this stuff myself, but I’ve had a quick go at it too, to get 
a feel for it. I’m sure Mark will correct me if I’m wrong..

 

Going by these instructions, and assuming your compile was successful, I 
believe the key step is (c), adding appropriate dependencies.

Before trying some, have a look in 
[dspace-source]/dspace/modules/custom-api/target   -- you *should* see 
custom-api-1.5.1.jar or similar.

 

In my testing, I made a trivial change, set up the module poms, compiled with a 
new custom api module, then copied my new jar over to [dspace]/lib and the 
WEB-INF/lib folders in my webapps. It worked just fine. Adding appropriate 
dependencies from the start would have meant that update_webapps and 
update_code would have done that for me, if my understanding is correct.

 

For what it’s worth, I think that I’ll keep just using SVN for my 
testing/development source trees, and manage my small changes in the main 
source, but when I do deploy a patch live on an institution’s Dspace instance, 
I’ll use the custom project approach – it seems as though rapidly 
deploying/removing custom code would be quicker and less error-prone than 
altering code in place.

 

Cheers,

 

Kim.

Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Local modifications to DSpace .java programs,in 1.5.1

 

I think I’m still missing a piece of the puzzle though since my modified .java 
program is NOT making it into the dspace-api-1.5.1.jar file in /dspace/lib.

 

I have added the new sub-directory custom-api and file pom.xml file under 
{dspace-source}/dspace/modules.

I added the following to {dspace-source}/dspace/modules/pom.xml:  
modulecustom-api/module (I also commented out the xmlui, lni, oai, and 
sword modules in this pom.xml file (for the time being until we are using them, 
as per your suggestion)).

I added the following to {dspace-source}/dspace/pom.xml:

profile

 idcustom-api/id

 activation

file

   exists../custom-api/pom.xml/exists

/file

 /activation

 modules

module../custom-api/module

 /modules

  /profile

 

I think the trick is WHERE to put my custom .java program so that it will be 
picked up and put in the right place in the application once it’s compiled.

 

 

Take this example:

 

Let’s say I make a modification to:

 


dspace-1.5.1-src-release/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/mediafilter/PDFFilter.java
  

 

Do I put it in:


Dspace-1.5.1-src-release/dspace/modules/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/mediafilter/PDFFilter.java


 

 

And is the package in my new PDFFilter.java still package 
org.dspace.app.mediafilter;

 

I’m thinking maybe not since I just saw this in the pom.xml file you attached 
to your email last night:  groupIdorg.dspace.modules/groupId

 

Do I need to create a {dspace-source}/custom-api directory??

 

Please forgive me – this is the first time I have worked with pom.xml files!

 

Thanks!

Sue

Or to be more explicit you add the pom at

and modify the following with modulecustom-api/module

 

{dspace-source}/dspace/modules/pom.xml

 

And add custom-api as a dependency in

Hi Zaya,

 

It might be easier to track this problem down with debug-level logging. To do 
this, edit your [dspace]/config/log4j.properties and change 
log4j.rootCategory=INFO, A1 to log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, A1. Then restart 
Dspace. Now you’ll be able to see all the SQL queries in your log, which should 
shed some more light on why the one being used by stat-initial is upsetting

Re: [Dspace-tech] Local modifications to DSpace .java programs, in 1.5.1

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Sue,

 

Java source code for JSPUI should be in 
[dspace-source]/dspace-jspui/dspace-jspui-api -- however, PDFFilter.java lives 
in the main API, at 
[dspace-source]/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/mediafilter/ so it’s 
not technically a JSPUI change you’re making. You can patch the PDFFilter.java 
in that directory, or replace it with your own (after backing the original up, 
of course!) to make changes to the way org.dspace.app.mediafilter.PDFFilter 
works.

 

Once you’ve rebuilt, assuming that’s the only change you’ve made, the only 
changed jar should be dspace-api-1.5.1.jar (or named something similar).

 

If you want to find this jar, it will be copied over to 
[dspace-source]/dspace/target/[build.dir]/webapps/jspui/WEB-INF/lib during the 
Maven build, and into your [dspace]/webapps/jspui/WEB-INF/lib and [dspace]/lib 
folders if you install with ant update_code and ant update_webapps.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Cheers,

 

Kim

Re: [Dspace-tech] Local modifications to DSpace .java programs, in 1.5.1

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Sue,

 

I see where you’re coming from. The [dspace-source]/dspace/modules directory is 
just for overriding things like JSPs, themes, images, aspects, and other webapp 
resources like that. Java source code is not managed in the same way.

 

There are a few different ways of going about making changes to source... if 
you are just changing a couple of lines and are not familiar with diff, patch, 
or SVN, it might be easier to simply back up the original source file, make 
your changes to the existing one, and rebuild.

If you are making a lot of changes, or you want to share your changes with 
others easily, or you think you’ll be making more than one change to the file 
over the next while, it’s probably better to do it “the proper way” and look 
into diff/patch (preferably SVN diff/patch if you use SVN to checkout your 
source directory).

 

There’s a bit of info at the end of: 
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Building_DSpace_From_Source 

This is a nice guide, too: 
http://stephenjungels.com/jungels.net/articles/diff-patch-ten-minutes.html

Ah!

Thanks for this info Mark, I never thought about managing local code this 
way... I’ve just been sticking to SVN, myself - partly because I intend to 
contribute most of my patches to the SF tracker and I understand that SVN diffs 
against latest tags/branches are preferred.

I think you might have prematurely hit the send button? I’m keen to hear the

nothing.

 

3.) Once configured properly, your changes in dspace/modules/xxx will always be 
separate from the rest of the codebase, but you will still need to verify that 
upgrades don't break your customizations by comparing your code to the 
original.  Something we continue to strive to get away from.

 

So I would recommend the following steps:

 

a.) create a dspace/modules/custom-api/pom.xml for your api changes. That looks 
something like the attached pom.xml

Hi Mohamad,

 

Once you have Dspace installed and running, have a read of 
http://dspace.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dspace/trunk/dspace/docs/configure.html#statistics
 to see how to configure statistics. (assumes version 1.5.x).

 

These reports will give you some good stats from the perspective of a 
repository manager/administrator.

 

There are a number of user-driven projects around to try and satisfy the demand 
for searchable/per-author statistics by academics. One of the most popular 
packages is one created by Minho University in Portugal, although it only works 
on 1.4.2 and I’d advise you to search for references to “Minho” on the mailing 
list to make sure you want to go down this track. It generates very 
nice-looking statistics, and uses GeoIP to resolve IPs to physical locations. I 
have a few concerns with it, personally (in fact, you can search this list to 
see my thoughts on it in a previous post), but it’s a great effort at filling 
the “end user statistics” gap so I don’t want to sound too negative about it... 
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/StatisticsAddOn has doco, downloads and 
screenshots.

 

I’m actually working on something myself at the moment, but it’s not mature 
enough to share yet.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Reading dspace DB from other applications - tangent !

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Robin,

I have indeed used Minho, but it breaks an easy upgrade to 1.5.1, modifies the 
dspace db schema and low-level source code like Constant.java, etc... which are 
things I wanted to avoid. My idea when I started this was to achieve similar 
results, but (a) not touch the dspace DB, (b) not use procedural languages, (c) 
don't patch source code. Basically make sure that it was essentially isolated 
from dspace and wouldn't affect upgrade paths at all.

(It's also very buggy, I've talked to a fair few universities here in NZ that 
have decided to remove it)

I do share your concerns about dspace.log. I still can't quite figure out how 
it rotates them.. it often appears to be writing to two logs simultaneously, 
and I wouldn't be surprised if some entries get lost occasionally.

Mark Wood's EventUsage plugin (somewhere on Google Sandbox or in the SVN 
prototypes I think) is excellent, as an alternative to reading dspace.log. I'm 
hoping it makes it into the next release.

To put it another way, I would say my work is closer to Dspace's built-in stats 
than the Minho plugin. I have a standalone log parser, and a standalone tool to 
query my DB. I'm just populating a separate DB of hits, downloads, etc., rather 
than building the .dat reports.

I'm sure it's not perfect, but we've already ruled out Minho for our 
repositories, and I've looked at a few other in-house solutions and have taken 
ideas from them but haven't seen anything that really stays out of the way as 
far as separating it from Dspace goes.

Cheers,

Kim.

 Hi Kim,
 
 Apologies for sort of hijacking your thread, I have renamed the title
 to allow separate replies. It sounds to me like you have taken a
 similar approach to the Minho guys in that you take the dspace log as
 your starting point for compiling the stats. In fact if you are not
 familiar with their package it would be worth your while having a look.
 Whilst this is an attractive approach in that you don't have to mess
 around with the existing Dspace code, I have some reservations about
 its reliability. To date the log message format has been pretty well
 maintained, but in an Open Source environment where patches, plugins,
 etc could come from various sources I am not confident that will always
 be the case. So my question is, are there any current/planned solutions
 that integrate the compiling of stats into the heart of the Dspace
 code ? Sorry if I am going over old ground here but its just come onto
 my radar so I have only just started paying attention.
 
 Thanks, Robin.

  Subject: [Dspace-tech] Reading dspace DB from other applications
 
  Hi all,
 
  I'm currently developing a standalone stats package to
  analyse dspace logs and generate usage reports based on some
  custom requirements (similar to built-in stats, but with
  per-author views/downloads statistics, allow search for any
  item/handle to display views/downloads, etc.)
 
  Access to a few tables, such as
  handle,metadatavalue,item2bundle,bundle2bitstream,bitstream
  are needed to resolve handles to IDs and generate reports
  based on author names, print metadata values for items, and so on.
 
  At the moment, I'm too paranoid to let my stats app query
  dspace's DB directly, and am just regularly dumping tables
  from dspace and spitting them over to a separate database.
  However, I'm aware that dspace does protect itself from
  running out of resources with a managed connection pool, and
  that I'm only doing read operations. (no UPDATEs or INSERTs,
  they would only ever happen on my separate stats DB).
 
  Can anyone either (a) confirm that my paranoia is justified,
  or (b) point out some safe ways of querying the dspace DB
  from a standalone app? Increase max connections in postgresql
  to $dspacepool + $statspool + a bit of overhead?
 
  At the moment, dumping to a separate DB works fine, but it
  probably doesn't scale very well and just seems like an ugly
  -- albeit 'safe' -- hack.
 
  Any suggestions or pointers are appreciated.
 
  Cheers,
 
  Kim.
