I'm confused by your response here. This only works with imported items/bitstreams not with registered bitstreams. http://dspace.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dspace/branches/dspace-1_5_x/ dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/itemimport/ItemImport.java? view=markup line 1059 onward only is executed if it is a import because registration is before it. Note: this file is not the cleanest or most well architected but of code... We could be doing much better at this here... but to also make the point, we should be coming up with better import solutions and I don't think ItemImporter or the Packager framework are ultimately the best designed solutions, the former being overly procedural and restricted to the command-line, the later being a bit over architected and too complex to implement plugins for trace the behavior within. Not only this, but (from experience) actually producing SIPs for ingest into DSpace is itself a nightmare. We could devote many a thread of discussion to the shortcomings and limitations of each solution created... at least we have something that does get us by for now. Might make for a nice cleanup project for someone out there... -Mark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark R.
