Hi Mike I know exactly the problem you mean. The difficulty is that fedora does not like the "file:\\Server\folder\file.ext" form. Apparently this is an intentional feature for security reasons. So in order to reference your local file as external content you need to sit it on a web server. If you are running tomcat you can sit your images in a subdirectory within the webapps/root folder and then refer to "http://server:8080/subfolder/file.ext"; as the url. The hazard here is that you are probably using the same tomcat to run fedora and its obviously then all too easy to accidentally delete your images when working on the fedora installation!(you would need to backup the image directory outside tomcat before any reinstallation of tomcat) So an alternative would be to host your image files on another machine, possibly on apache web server(which is suited to serving static files) or tomcat. Or, alternatively, on the same machine but a second instance of tomcat or some other web server (it is possible to run multiple instances of tomcat on one machine, the tomcat documentation gives instructions)
Then for each image to be referenced you need a datastream in the FoXML, which will look a bit like this example (control group E is for external content) <foxml:datastream CONTROL_GROUP="E" ID="FULL_IMAGE_JPEG" STATE="A" > <foxml:datastreamVersion ID="FULL_IMAGE_JPEG.0" MIMETYPE="image/jpeg" LABEL="FULL_IMAGE_JPEG"> <foxml:contentLocation REF="http://<our_host_name:port>/<our subdirectory>/<actual_image_file_name>.jpg" TYPE="URL"/> </foxml:datastreamVersion> </foxml:datastream> Of course a third alternative would be to treat your image files as managed content and let fedora deal with them along with the metadata, but I guess you have already looked into that and decided for good reasons not to do it (as we decided, for example, on the grounds of file size) Hope this helps Peri Stracchino Digital Library Team University of York ext 4082 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 09 January 2009 16:34 To: [email protected] Subject: Fedora-commons-users Digest, Vol 23, Issue 3 Send Fedora-commons-users mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fedora-commons-users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Fedora-commons-users digest..."

Initially I tried using the pre-built JARs supplied in the distribution. When this did not work I tried building the utilities with the ant script supplied. I have tried running the analyzer with different permutations of commandline-supplied classpath values. I even downloaded the JRDF jar from Sourceforge (see stack trace below). Any insights are appreciated. ~Matt ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ERROR: Analysis failed due to an unexpected error fedora.common.FaultException: Error constructing class: fedora.server.storage.translation.FOXML1_1DOSerializer at fedora.utilities.config.ConfigUtil.constructionFailed(ConfigUtil.java:19 1) at fedora.utilities.config.ConfigUtil.construct(ConfigUtil.java:175) at fedora.utilities.cma.analyzer.Analyzer.<init>(Analyzer.java:179) at fedora.utilities.cma.analyzer.Analyzer.main(Analyzer.java:416) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.jav a:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessor Impl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at com.simontuffs.onejar.Boot.run(Boot.java:306) at com.simontuffs.onejar.Boot.main(Boot.java:159) Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jrdf/graph/PredicateNode at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:169) at fedora.utilities.config.ConfigUtil.construct(ConfigUtil.java:166) ... 8 more Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jrdf.graph.PredicateNode at com.simontuffs.onejar.JarClassLoader.findClass(JarClassLoader.java:602) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:307) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:252) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:320) ... 11 more ---------------------- Matt Cordial Digital Libray Software Engineer Informatics and Cyberinfrastructure Services Arizona State University Libraries 480.965.9094 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2009 12:03:42 -0000 From: "Richard Green" <[email protected]> Subject: [Fedora-commons-users] Fedora 3 admin client and server on Windows To: <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>, "Chris Wilper" <[email protected]> Message-ID: <ee007af7077b7749b57fd9b55a75709503d12...@excl1vs1.adir.hull.ac.uk> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Apologies for posting to both Fedora lists but I'm hoping for a quick reply. In August, helping run a summer school in Canada, I had a problem with Fedora 3.0's admin client. Any attempt to save a new datastream in an object produced: java.io.IOException: Upload failed: Internal Server Error: java.io.IOException: Corrupt form data: premature ending at fedora.client.FedoraClient.uploadFile(FedoraClient.java:196) at fedora.client.Uploader$1.construct(Uploader.java:133) at fedora.client.SwingWorker$2.run(SwingWorker.java:132) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) - though it would create a new object with DC. This was running both the server and client on a Windows XP SP2 laptop with Java 1.6. At the time, I gave up on the problem thinking it was just something weird about the config on my laptop and, in any case, the same client would talk nicely to a remote Fedora instance on a Unix (?) box. However, I now really need Fedora 3 on a machine at home for some development work (all our production and development machines are still running Fedora 2). Fedora 3.1 on my laptop does just the same thing. I've tried various Java 1.6.x jdk's and jre's and even reverted to 1.5. I've tried putting a brand new install of Fedora 3.1 on my desktop machine's Vista - same error message. And, no, the client on one won't play nicely with the server on the other. Looking a bit further into the error logs in August we had: INFO 2008-08-15 10:38:22.156 [http-8080-Processor25] (Cache) Authenticating user [fedoraAdmin] INFO 2008-08-15 10:38:22.171 [http-8080-Processor25] (DefaultManagement) Completed getDatastreamHistory(pid: changeme:Page_1, datastreamID: THUMB) INFO 2008-08-15 10:39:25.359 [http-8080-Processor24] (Cache) Authenticating user [fedoraAdmin] ERROR 2008-08-15 10:39:25.359 [http-8080-Processor24] (UploadServlet) Failed upload: Client must use HTTP Multipart POST INFO 2008-08-15 10:39:25.421 [http-8080-Processor24] (Cache) Authenticating user [fedoraAdmin] ERROR 2008-08-15 10:39:25.484 [http-8080-Processor24] (UploadServlet) Failed upload: java.io.IOException: Corrupt form data: premature ending Has anyone else seen this?
