We should deal with this as a bug in DSpace 1.4.2... We can make it more robust in DSIndexer.
James, this error arises at line 890 of build document, which makes me think they are still using dspace 1.4.2-beta where that line corresponds to the getName call on a collection See: http://fisheye3.cenqua.com/browse/dspace/branches/dspace-1_4_x/dspace/ src/org/dspace/search/DSIndexer.java?r=1797#l890 Thats not the same line in the 1.4.2 release... http://fisheye3.cenqua.com/browse/dspace/branches/dspace-1_4_x/dspace/ src/org/dspace/search/DSIndexer.java?r=1878#l890 Mika, I see what is happening, Can you make sure you do not have collections that have no "name"? and we'll throw in some hooks into the next version of DSIndexer to control for that? Also beware that you may have dspace 1.4.2 beta installed and on the official release of dspace 1.4.2 -Mark On Jun 25, 2007, at 4:54 AM, Mika Stenberg wrote: > Interestingly I did fresh install with 1.4.2. > I found out that the problem was caused by collections marked as null. > > -Mika > >> On Thu, Jun 21, 2007 at 10:36:49AM +0300, Mika Stenberg wrote: >>> Im trying to run index-all on brand new Dspace 1.4.2 installation >>> with >>> only few test items in it.
