Hello Michael, your values for the template item are correct, it is not in_archive, not withdrawn and got no owning collection nor a submitter.
On a vanilla instance of 1.6.2 jspui this works fine for the instance administrator and a collection administrator (default, no delegation rules set). Are you trying this as instance admin or with a different role? Did you change any of the dspace.cfg delegation setting in this section ##### Authorization system configuration - Delegate ADMIN ##### especially #core.authorization.community-admin.collection.template-item = true #core.authorization.collection-admin.template-item = true Hope that helps Claudia Jürgen Am 11.02.2011 15:15, schrieb Michael White: > Hi, > > Using JSP UI on v1.6.2 (recently migrated from v1.4.2) - I'm trying > to edit Item Templates, but I'm getting an Internal Server Error > whenever I click the "Edit" button to access an existing Item > Template (all our Collections are created with templates in order to > automatically populate a "type" attribute): > > -- URL Was: https://dspace.stir.ac.uk/tools/edit-item?item_id=263 -- > Method: GET -- Parameters were: -- item_id: "263" > > > Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException at > org.dspace.app.util.AuthorizeUtil.authorizeWithdrawItem(AuthorizeUtil.java:590) > > at org.dspace.app.webui.servlet.admin.EditItemServlet.showEditForm(EditItemServlet.java:494) > at > org.dspace.app.webui.servlet.admin.EditItemServlet.doDSGet(EditItemServlet.java:167) > > at org.dspace.app.webui.servlet.DSpaceServlet.processRequest(DSpaceServlet.java:151) > at > org.dspace.app.webui.servlet.DSpaceServlet.doGet(DSpaceServlet.java:99) > > at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:689) > at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802) at > org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:269)etc > > I did a search on the DSpace tech archives but couldn't find > anything - I also did a search in JIRA and turned up something that > may be similar/related: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-184 "NPE > from Edit Collection, Item Template, Edit Authorizations" - however, > this appears to be related to the XMLUI, relates to v1.5 and states > that the issue was fixed in v1.6 - but as I can't even get into the > item template, I'm not sure this is related! > > I also had a poke around the database for things with "item_id=263" - > when I look in the "item" table I see: > > item_id submitter_id in_archive withdrawn last_modified > owning_collection 263 NULL FALSE FALSE > 2008-03-03 16:37:26.636+00 NULL > > - I don't know if this is what this should look like, but it suggests > to me (but I'm only guessing) that this item id does relate to a > Collection (or an item template)? > > - and looking at the Collection table, I see that the item with the > "template_item_id=263" relates to the Collection in question (i.e. > the one whose template I was trying to edit that caused the above > error). > > However, if I go to the "Items" section in the admin interface in the > jsp ui, if I enter the item_id 263 into the "Internal ID" search box, > when I try and find the item, I get a similar Internal Server Error: > > -- URL Was: > https://dspace.stir.ac.uk/tools/edit-item?handle=&item_id=263&submit=Find > > -- Method: GET > -- Parameters were: -- handle: "" -- submit: "Find" -- item_id: > "263" > > > Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException at > org.dspace.app.util.AuthorizeUtil.authorizeWithdrawItem(AuthorizeUtil.java:590) > > at org.dspace.app.webui.servlet.admin.EditItemServlet.showEditForm(EditItemServlet.java:494) > etc > > - but, if I enter the handle for the collection that this item_id > "belongs to" (as gleaned from the error when I try and edit that > collections Item Template), which is 1893/213, I get (correctly) > taken to a page that says: > > "The ID you entered isnt a valid item ID.
