I've done something similar with our DSpace v4.1/JSPUI - Amongst other changes
to our Embargo/Request a copy handling, I hacked our "Request a copy"
implementation to send the Request email to an email address specified in the
item's metadata (rather than always sending to the submitter), and I added a
config option to dspace.cfg to specify the metadata field that held that
address (which is "dc.author.email" in our case).
To achieve this, I hacked "RequestItemServlet.java" (src in
/usr/src/dspace-4.1-src-release/dspace-jspui/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/webui/servlet
IIRC), and I've attached my hacked version in case it is of use or help to you
(I'm guessing the mailing list will strip this, though, so if anyone else is
interested in this, just let me know). If you search for "MW" in this file,
you'll see the places where I've added/hacked the code (all my hacks (should!)
have comments with my initials and the date) . . .
Basically, if you want to control where the email goes, I think you need to
affect the email address that is passed into this line (it was a while ago I
did this!):
email.addRecipient(emailRequest);
- which occurs in the processForm and processAdmin functions I think . . .
So, if you wanted to hard code it, you could simply put the email address in
there (probably pulled from the config using
ConfigurationManager.getProperty("mail.admin") rather hard coding the actual
address) . . .
Alternatively, I note that just above the "addRecipient" line, the code checks
if emailRequest is empty, and if it is, populates it with the Admin email
address instead (I THINK this is in the original, and isn't something I have
added!?):
if (emailRequest == null) {
emailRequest = ConfigurationManager
.getProperty("mail.admin");
}
So, you could hack this test to get the change you want?
If it were me, I'd probably add a flag to the config file (a key with a value
of true or false) and add a test for that value to the if statement above, that
way you could toggle between sending emails to the Admin or to the "expected"
email address simply by changing the config option - so, for example (off the
top of my head, and NOT TESTED!), in dspace.cfg, add:
request.item.adminemail = true
- and then hack the above to something like:
if ((emailRequest == null) ||
("true".equalsIgnoreCase(ConfigurationManager.getProperty("request.item.adminemail
"))) {
emailRequest = ConfigurationManager
.getProperty("mail.admin");
}
[Not sure if you actually need to test against "true", or if the value in
"request.item.adminemail" can be used as a Boolean "as is" (without a
comparison) - so you may be able to clean that up a little!]
The above may not be the best way to achieve what you want (and others are
welcome to correct me or offer other/better solutions!), but would probably get
you where you want to go!
I hope this is of some use.

Mike
