I reported an issue with XMLUI as "weirdness". Several private suggestions
came to me. Though those didn't answer the issue at hand, they
did give me some great ideas of fixing other issues that I needed to address.
This weekend, while looking at logs (Catalina logs in Tomcat) and other files,
I was reminded that there is a "cache" file in Cocoon that needs
attention. If you go to: [Tomcat]/work/Catalina/localhost/xmlui/cache-dir you
will find two files:
cocoon-ehcache.data
cocoon-ehcache.index
If you delete the cocoon-ehcache.data file and restart tomcat, the issue I
experienced goes away. It seems that Cocoon is not updating
this file appropriately in any automated fashion (from rebuilding DSpace from
scratch).
There is one other issue connected with this problem, where I do not have any
hard data to support it, but I will put it out for discussion. Is there a
difference were the DSpace Webapps reside that makes this happen or not happen.
For example, our webapps are at [dspace]/webapps/*
instead of the standard [tomcat]/webapps/* . These are two options we have in
our documentation. The first option is one that I implemented
with release 1.6 at my own local installation. Very convenient. Prior to
1.6, I had always copied over the webapps to the Catalina$ directories.
Food for thought.
Perhaps we should update the documentation with the above tip about deleting
the cache file on a regular basis or when DSpace is rebuilt/updated
at any time.
Comments?
Thanks
Jeff
