Hello, I just found a bug I guess. Or it is a Java issue specific to the version of Java installed on my machine. I dont have another Server at hand with a different java version installed, so I cant judge this. Although it is a localization issue, it can be tested in ever DSpace instance using Creative Commons license, so it would be nice if someone could verify in his instance.
Trying to add a Creative Commons License during Submission using XMLUI is not possible as long as you use a browser that requests the German Localization. Creative Commons support has to be enabled in dspace.cfg. The jurisdiction set in dspace.cfg does not matter at all. I use Firefox with Quick Locale Switcher to check with different Localizations. Actually I found out by accident that it has to do with Localization when I was hunting for the reason of this issue for several hours already. Finally I was absolutely clueless as to what might be the reason and played a bit with Locale switcher. Reloading the page for adding a CC License using different Locales such as it-IT, es-ES or en-US, then pushing the button which sends you to creativecommons.org produces a valid URL in the form: creativecommons.org/choose/?submission-continue=… (long id and .continue appended) Doing so using de-DE setting of Firefox produces a Server Error. The URL looks like creativecommons.org/license (nothing removed here) The button label contains an Umlaut in the german version. This Umlaut is properly stored as UTF-8 in the messages_de.xml. Changing the Umlaut in the last Word "auszuwählen" to "auszuwaehlen" resolves the issue. Here comes the offending line without the change: <message key="xmlui.Submission.submit.CCLicenseStep.submit_to_creative_commons">Weiter zur Creative Commons Seite, um eine Lizenz auszuwählen.</message> I guess it should work with the localized string as Claudia has entered it. Changing the label is only a workaround. This is the java version on my Debian server: $java -version java version "1.6.0_18" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8.7) (6b18-1.8.7-2~squeeze1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode) Bye, Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
