We are using XMLUI on 1.5.2.
In DCPersonName.java, we had added a customisation to automatically add
fullstops to the end of author names. This was added to the toString() method.
We had no problem with this in 1.5.1 (XMLUI), but now that we have upgraded to
1.5.2, it is not working anymore.
Now, (and I might be showing off my ignorance here), the DescribeStep.java
under the xmlui-api doesn't look like it directly adds any metadata to an item,
only reads existing metadata to display it, so I'm assuming it is the
DescribeStep.java under the dspace-api that does all the adding of metadata to
an item. That DescribeStep.java under the dspace-api has:
item.addMetadata(schema, element, qualifier, null,
new DCPersonName(l, f).toString());
under the readNames() method, which means it should add the fullstop, under the
modified toString:
public String toString()
{
StringBuffer out = new StringBuffer();
if (lastName != null)
{
out.append(lastName);
if ((firstNames != null) && !firstNames.equals(""))
{
out.append(", ").append(firstNames);
}
if (out.charAt(out.length() - 1) != '.' && out.charAt(out.length()
- 1) == ')' && out.charAt(out.length() - 1) == '-')
{
out.append(".");
}
}
return (out.toString());
}
After the upgrade, I've been looking at the source, but I can't figure out why
this would not be working anymore. If anyone could give me any hints, would be
very thankful.
Thanks
