Hi David,

 

Sorry to hear you are having these troubles. Could you send us full stack 
traces from the null pointer exceptions, and the associated URLs that cause 
these? These will enable us to pinpoint the issue.

 

Thanks,

Subject: [Dspace-tech] problems with searching in 1.5.1

 

Hello 

I have an installation of dspace 1.5.1 running on freeBSD.

 

I ran 1.4.1 for a while with few issues ......but when we upgraded the server 
and installed 1.5.1 we started having issues.  

 

I am able to create communities and upload articles, but when I try to search 
by community, author, title, subject or issue date I get Internal System errors.

 

In Manakin, I can do a straight search and it seems to work, by if I try to 
search by author, or title, etc I get a "java.lang.NullPointerException" error

 

Please help!

 

best

David

        I would highly recommend that the content of these meta tags needs to 
remain escaped as so to be embedded into an html attribute value properly, 
otherwise you are violating the html spec.

        DSpace Community, 

         

        I've been working on a fairly in-depth (Manakin) redesign for a DSpace 
instance and am having trouble when displaying simple or full item records. On 
those two page types, additional information is embedded within the "head" 
section of the html code in the form of "link" and "meta" tags. The "<" and ">" 
symbols that open and close the link/meta tags are showing up within the source 
as "&gt;", "&lt;". The source seems to be from the "buildHead" template within 
the "structural.xsl" stylesheet. Near the bottom of that template is the 
following code:

         

                    <!-- Head metadata in item pages -->

                    <xsl:if 
test="/dri:document/dri:meta/dri:pageMeta/dri:metada...@element='xhtml_head_item']">

                        <xsl:value-of 
select="/dri:document/dri:meta/dri:pageMeta/dri:metada...@element='xhtml_head_item']"

                                      disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

                    </xsl:if>

         

        My understanding is that the disable-output-escaping attribute should 
be preventing this behavior, resolving those entities as the actual symbols 
rather than representative counterparts. For some reason they are being 
translated as entities rather than being taken as literals. If anyone has any 
suggestions, I'd be very much obliged.

         

        Many Thanks!
