Anything you can call from command line you can call also from Java. You can find the command line launcher command mappings to java classes here: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3_x/dspace/config/launcher.xml#L114 So the import command with the register parameter is processed here: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3_x/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/itemimport/ItemImport.java#L1237 > (2) I want to add a bitstream to the database (inbox for large files).

Something as > wget http://server/xmlui/handle/XXX/Y/dublin_core.xml would be fine... You can get it via OAI-PMH: http://demo.dspace.org/oai/request?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&identifier=oai:localhost:10673/7 If you don't insist on the DC format, getting METS is even simpler: http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/metadata/handle/10673/7/mets.xml You can use mets with the AIP import/export: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/AIP+Backup+and+Restore https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Importing+and+Exporting+Content+via+Packages Regards, ~~helix84 Compulsory reading: DSpace Mailing List Etiquette https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
