Jason, It's highly unlikely that Log4J is causing the startup to be slow. Whilst your startup takes in the region of 10 minutes, there is no indication in the log as to when each of those log4j warnings appeared, or what was occurring at the time. The regular re-occurrence of org.apache.commons.d

Re: [Dspace-tech] Problem with new submission

Daniel and Kasia, What version of the Oracle JDBC drivers are you running? The 1.4.2 code is only tested/supported with the 10.2.x series of JDBC drivers (it doesn't matter if the database software is older, the new drivers will still work). Also, are you using a 'thin' connection string (jdbc:o

Re: [Dspace-tech] Handle problem - HTTP 403 error after upgraded to 1.4

Hi, Haven't heard of that one before! If you are going to http://hdl.handle.net/x and getting a 403, then it sounds like there is either a problem with your access to the handle.net proxy (nothing to do with your DSpace installation), or the handle is resolving, and it is forwarding to you

Hi, Well, the relevant part of this is the only thing that's not in English!! But the context is clear enough - it's having trouble parsing a valid date. Can you confirm that the start / end dates that you are passing to the script are of the form '-mm-dd'. If your input is valid, then you'v

Re: [Dspace-tech] RE : Increasing upload.max

Jose, You can't just change the variable that is used to hold the return from getIntProperty() / pass to setSizeMax(). The method getIntProperty() returns an int, and will only ever be able to return values that fit into an int. You'll need to add a getLongProperty() to the ConfigurationManager t

Re: [Dspace-tech] Dspace not writing to dspace.log file

Hi, It's possible that filter-media had something to do with it, but under normal circumstances it shouldn't. What is likely here is that something has renamed or replaced the dspace.log file that Tomcat was writing to. As Tomcat retains an open handle on the log file, it will continue writing

Re: [Dspace-tech] Problems using legacy oracle database (in latin1)

Jose, It's vaguely possible to run it using national character set columns (NCHAR, NCLOB), to allow for a different character encoding (the ncs columns could be UTF-8, whilst everything else remain Latin-1). However, we've been down that route, and it involves some very nasty customisations to th

Do you have the manager application installed on Tomcat? (http://localhost:8080/manager/html) If so, what does it say about the status of the DSpace application? Have you checked the Tomcat log files? Is Tomcat running under a security manager? (I'm not sure how this is / would be configured u
