Sounds like your trying to use the Harvard Naming Service? Can you give me a list of the jars you require? Are any of them third party to OIS? > > Should I be creating a new subproject for this code (other than > HandleManager)? Thanks for any help you can offer. Its a tough call, we are currently rewriting the whole Handle/ Identifier mechanism (as we discussed earlier). In this case there may be a mix of approaches, It might just be better to alter dspace- api (HandleManager) then port over to the new Identifier service when it comes out in the next major release (but that may very well be next year). Which would mean that you'd need to port over your changes to dspace-api on every minor release. But if you do, it would save you work later if you encapsulate all your hul.ois identifier stuff in a separate addon project. This project would be added as a modules to [dspace-source]/dspace/pom.xml and added as a dependency in that pom (for CLI applications) and in [dspace-source]/dspace/modules/pom.xml (for webapplications) tell me a little more about all the added dependencies and I'll try to map out the strategy in that context. -Mark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark R.
