Ying,
If you are getting those same messages over and over in the DSpace log,
that would imply you are somehow hitting an "infinite loop". When you
click the "submit" button, you *should* see an item created in *both*
the workspaceitem and item table. But, it should not be making updates
to that same item over and over again.
Can you send me your entire item-submission-XMLUI.xml configuration
file? Hopefully later today, I'm going to see if I can do a few quick
tests to DSpace 1.5alpha, just to be 100% certain that you're not
encountering some sort of bug.
