Hi all,

 

I've installed 1.5.1 (using the source release) on a Ubuntu 8 system 

and using XML/Manakin.  I want to be able to browse using a new 

metadata field I have added to the DC schema.  I have added the
parameter

in dspace.cfg as follows:

 

webui.browse.index.5 =
consignmentnumber:metadata:dc.description.consignmentnumber:text

 

As long as there's no actual data in the "consignmentnumber" field in
any

of the items, selecting "Browse by Consignment No." seems to work.  At

least a page is delivered, looking like what you'd expect, but with no
items

matching.  As soon as I put some data into this field in an item, a page

stating

 

An error has occured

java.lang.NullPointerException

 

is delivered instead, complete with Cocoon and Java stacktraces, which 

don't mean much to me.

 

I had this feature running on a test system which I put together with
the 

release version of 1.5.1.  It's possible I missed something when I
brought

the mods across.  I tend to think, though, that the config is correct as
I

can search by consignmentnumber, and that browsing seems to work at

least as long as there's no data in the field.

 

Perhaps there's a patch somewhere?

 

Cheers,

Lyn
