Hi, thanks Tim, I peeked into /target/dspace-[version]-build.dir/webapps/xmlui/WEB-INF/classes/ and discovered that what should have been "Trail" read "trail". Curses! I had at one time tried changing the case of this path, but had since changed it back to "Trail", and many rebuilds and even a mvn clean later... but still, there it was. I did another round of mvn clean, package, ant update init_configs, and sure enough, it worked. Well, as soon as I added namespace declarations to the xsl and sitemap (*blush*).
Thanks for your help on this. With that proof of concept, I am now attempting to overlay the ArtifactBrowser, to apply Conal Tuohy's method of displaying static DRI pages: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04894.h tml --Hardy > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Donohue [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 10:01 AM > To: Pottinger, Hardy J. > Cc: DSpace Tech > Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] help installing an aspect using mvn overlay > > Hardy, > > Your dspace-api structure looks fine.
