Hi Sue,
I see where you’re coming from. The [dspace-source]/dspace/modules directory is
just for overriding things like JSPs, themes, images, aspects, and other webapp
resources like that. Java source code is not managed in the same way.
There are a few different ways of going about making changes to source... if
you are just changing a couple of lines and are not familiar with diff, patch,
or SVN, it might be easier to simply back up the original source file, make
your changes to the existing one, and rebuild.
If you are making a lot of changes, or you want to share your changes with
others easily, or you think you’ll be making more than one change to the file
over the next while, it’s probably better to do it “the proper way” and look
into diff/patch (preferably SVN diff/patch if you use SVN to checkout your
source directory).
There’s a bit of info at the end of:
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Building_DSpace_From_Source
This is a nice guide, too:
http://stephenjungels.com/jungels.net/articles/diff-patch-ten-minutes.html
And last but not least, the SVN book:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/index.html
Cheers,
Kim.

Hi Kim,
Thanks for the info! Aren’t I supposed to copy PDFFilter.java though,
from its source directory (before I make my changes) into somewhere in
/dspace-source…/dspace/modules in order to keep our local mods separate???
Would I copy it into:
{dspace-source}/dspace/modules/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/mediafilter
??????
Thanks again,
Sue

Hi Sue,
Java source code for JSPUI should be in
[dspace-source]/dspace-jspui/dspace-jspui-api -- however, PDFFilter.java lives
in the main API, at
[dspace-source]/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/mediafilter/ so it’s
not technically a JSPUI change you’re making. You can patch the PDFFilter.java
in that directory, or replace it with your own (after backing the original up,
of course!) to make changes to the way org.dspace.app.mediafilter.PDFFilter
works.
Once you’ve rebuilt, assuming that’s the only change you’ve made, the only
changed jar should be dspace-api-1.5.1.jar (or named something similar).
If you want to find this jar, it will be copied over to
[dspace-source]/dspace/target/[build.dir]/webapps/jspui/WEB-INF/lib during the
Maven build, and into your [dspace]/webapps/jspui/WEB-INF/lib and [dspace]/lib
folders if you install with ant update_code and ant update_webapps.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Kim

Subject: [Dspace-tech] Local modifications to DSpace .java programs, in 1.5.1
Where do I put .java programs that I’m going to make local modifications to, in
DSpace 1.5.1? I am putting the .jsps in:
/export/home/dspace-1.5.1-src-release/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/webapp……
/image or /layout….etc.
Where would I put our modified PDFFilter.java so that when I assemble/compile
our application, the modified .class or .jar file ends up in
/dspace/webapps……?? ??
Thanks,
Sue
