Hi Brian, It looks like DSpace is getting upset when it tries to display the review page once the file has been uploaded (review.jsp).
The reason it is failing is because it is trying to prepare some of the text (e.g. replace & with & for valid HTML etc) and that text is non-existent (null). There has been a fix for this included since version 1.4.1 of DSpace. For details (it is only a few lines long) see: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1605635&group_id=19 984&atid=119984 It requires you to add the following line to org.dspace.core.Utils: Just after: public static String addEntities(String value) Add: if (value==null || value.length() == 0) return value; *However*, why DSpace is doing this (trying to display a non-existent piece of metadata), I am not sure. Hope this helps, Stuart _________________________________________________________________ Datblygydd Cymwysiadau'r We Web Applications Developer Gwasanaethau Gwybodaeth Information Services Prifysgol Cymru Aberystwyth University of Wales Aberystwyth E-bost / E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffon / Tel: (01970) 622860 _________________________________________________________________ On 1/2/07 23:51, "Brian Helstien" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > OK, > This is perhaps not so very weird, but ...
