Elliot,
Thanks for the help.
However, I seem to be missing something. When in
PasswordAuthentication.initEPerson, a run into two issues. First, a row has
not yet been created in the eperson table to store the additional information.
Second, the context object does not appear to be able to establish a
dbconnection.
As a simple test, I tried something like:
public void initEPerson(Context context, HttpServletRequest request, EPerson
eperson)
throws SQLException
{
String query = "SELECT * FROM eperson";
TableRow tr = DatabaseManager.querySingle(context, query);
tr.setColumn("phone","testing");
DatabaseManager.update(context, tr);
}
I was expecting this to set the phone of the first user to testing. However,
dspace crashed returned an internal system error with a NullPointerException
that appears to come from the lack of a table name in the
DatabaseManager.update, which requires a context.dbconnection call.
Can you or anyone else see the errors of my way?
Thanks,
Andy
