Hi Jennifer
If you are using xmlui it would be much easier to add the dot in the
xsl template. it would also give you the flexibility to ad the stop
when necessary and not in lists, comma separated where it would became
something like:
Sinatra, Frank., Einstein, Albert., Obama, Barak., etc.
Jave modifications sometimes became hard to mantain.
I hope this helps

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
