[Dspace-tech] Moving item back into workflow
Hello Suppose we have two collections, A and B. For collection B, there's a submission workflow set up including an Edit Metadata step. Next, suppose we want to let a collection administrator move existing items from item A into collection B - this can be done using the standard Move Item functionality in DSpace 1.5.1. However, we'd like to have the item pass through the workflow defined for collection B during the move. This doesn't seem to be possible in a standard DSpace installation, so I guess we'd need to do some custom coding here. I would appreciate any comments on: - whether this is technically feasible with a *reasonable* programming effort? - which classes to start looking at?

Re: [Dspace-tech] plugins and custom classes in 1.5.x
I have a question here -- suppose that only the jspui webapp needs the class, wouldn't it then be cleaner to put it in the overlay folder (i.e [dspace-src]/dspace/modules/jspui/ under which you create java/packagepath/yourclassfile.java), rather than putting it under the dspace-jspui directory which I suppose is what you suggested? thanks, Mathias Hjelt DHanken -Original Message- From: Diggory Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: den 2 oktober 2008 05:30 To: Jason Stirnaman Cc: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] plugins and custom classes in 1.5.x Yes, this is a safe place to put such a customization if you want it to be part of more than one of your webapplications (if it is just one webapplication that will be using it, just place it in that webapplications src/main/java directory). You will do the following: 1.) Create an api directory 2.) create a api/pom.xml that has a artifactId, groupId and version that is the same as your current dspace version. 3.) make sure it is also dependent on org.dspace:dspace-api:version 4.) put you code in api/src/main/java 5.) add the api directory to the modules/pom.xml as both a module and a dependency when you now build, the api will be included into the modules list for modules being built and the dependency will make sure it shows up in you WEB-INF/lib of your compiled webapplications. Finally, if you want your project to show up in the [dspace.dir]/lib, you'll want to also add the dependency to the dspace/pom.xml Don't hesitate to ask any questions if you get hung up on any of this.

[Dspace-tech] FW: Creating add-ons or modifications in 1.5
Hello, I'd still appreciate some comments on this from the DSpace gurus out there.. I can't be the only one left wondering about how to best utilize maven for managing different types of DSpace customizations? Best regards Mathias Hjelt ---Original Mesage--- From: Mathias Hjelt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23. huhtikuuta 2008 9:20 To: 'dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: Creating add-ons or modifications in 1.5 Hello, Ive been trying to get a grasp of how to port our own add-ons and customizations made in 1.4.2 to the brave new maven-based world of 1.5. I read the SimpleAddonMechanism on the wiki, but that document is still sort of under construction and didnt make things much clearer. Could someone with a better understanding of the maven build process suggest the proper best practice development approaches for the following three scenarios: Scenario 1: Creating a stand-alone Java application which uses the DSpace API. For instance a maintenance application which is to be run using dsrun, i.e. having the dspace classes on the classpath. Currently Ive been developing and building such apps in Eclipse with the entire 1.4.2 project source included, then copying the resulting custom class or jar file manually to [dspace]/custom from where Ive been running them with dsrun. Scenario 2: Creating a custom class that should be compiled into the webapp. For instance a custom plugin for the authentication stack. Currently Ive developed these classes with Eclipse, then added the custom source files into the base [dspace-source] and built the webapp normally using ant. Scenario 3: Making changes to an existing DSpace class. Suppose ones local installation needs a few hacks in an existing Servlet class. To accomplish this in prior versions, Ive applied our local modifications to the existing DSpace source files in [dspace-source] and then built as normally. Any help on how to accomplish the above three scenarios using maven practices is greatly appreciated!

This works fairly well, i.e. the user is automatically redirected to HTTPS while logging in, and after successful authentication he somehow gets redirected back to plain HTTP. However, in some situations the user gets stuck on the https site (which causes an unnecessary burden on the server). E.g. if an authenticated user clicks on Edit Profile (/profile) servlet, he's redirected to HTTPS and never gets back to HTTP. Does anyone have a neat and easy solution to this? Or an explanation of how the redirecting-back-to-http-after-logging-in is implemented?

Re: [Dspace-tech] Accidently drop table in postgres
I assume you’re asking this because you don’t have a backup of the database, so I won’t suggest using that to restore.. :) First of all, make sure you DON’T run postgres’ vacuum on the database, second, make a copy of the pgdata folder just in case. I believe that deleted database items are not physically erased from postgres’ internal data storage (typically the pgdata folder) until you do a vacuum. Some eight years ago I accidentally deleted a large amount of data from a postgres database but was able to recover it somehow, but I just can’t remember how. Try a google search.. I believe you can’t recreate the database contents from the assetstore, as the assetstore only contains bitstreams and not metadata. good luck, Mathias Hjelt From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ROHAZNA BINTI WAHAB Sent: 28. helmikuuta 2008 10:33 To: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Dspace-tech] Accidently drop table in postgres Hi ..

We've also seen these since a few days back. HandleServlet.java does this when the exception strikes: long modSince = request.getDateHeader(If-Modified-Since); So what happens is that the crawler is using an invalid if-modified-since parameter in the http request. Now, our Tomcat doesn't seem to be creating any access logs (shouldn't it?) so I can't check the source IP of this request. One odd thing is that the URL Was: section in the error mail I get is missing the port number. I.e it shows http://hostname/dspace/handle/xxx/yyy rather than http://hostname:port/dspace/handle/xxx/yyy which is the only way our DSpace can be acccessed since it's not listening to port 80.

[Dspace-tech] Best practices for scripted metadata modifications
We have a few metadata maintenance related tasks (e.g. scan through the metadata of items changed since last run and make sure the metadata complies to certain rules) that we want to automate with scheduled tasks. As I see it we have the following options: - shell / perl scripts that use psql and finish by running index-all - standalone java applications that use jdbc to modify database contents - java applications based on the DSpace API I guess using the API would be the safest way to access the metadata, but I'm wondering if it's overkill for operations that could easily be carried out with a small number of relatively simple SQL statements in a script. On the other hand, bypassing the API and tweaking database contents manually carries the risk of screwing stuff up unintentionally, unless one's 100% sure about the scripts.. Any thoughts about this? Some sample code for how to use the API would also come in handy, if someone happens to have something they want to share.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Any definitive guide to setting up handle server?(Dan Scott)
Thank you all for your Handle server setup tips. I think I got it all set up now (just waiting for the firewall to be configured properly). I created a new site bundle file and sent it to the Handle admin staff. However: I'm still uncertain about whether the preferred way would've been to opt for no encryption at all (Would you like to encrypt your private key?(y/n): n), or to go for encryption BUT with an empty passphrase. Any insights on this? The problems didn't end there, however. When the Handle server started, it bound itself only to IPv6 ports, not to regular IPv4 so in effect it was still not reachable. The Handle staff quickly posted me a solution to this, which was to modify start-handle-server and add -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true to the command line. That could also be in the docs, even though IPv6 isn't very commonplace..

[Dspace-tech] Editing detailed metadata of an item during workflow
Hi, Due to limitations of what you can do simply by modifying input-forms.xml, we'll need to have someone make slight modifications to the metadata of each submitted item after the regular submission process is completed. Such modifications include editing the language code of certain metadata fields etc. Now, once an item has been accepted and made publicly available these edits can easily be done via the Edit Item page (http://.../dspace/tools/edit-item). However, to my surprise it does not seem possible to edit meta data at this detailed level while the submitted item is still in the workflow pipeline! Even if there's an edit metadata workflow step defined for the collection, this only allows the editing user to change metadata through the means of the regular input form, NOT in the required low-level fashion of the Edit Item page. Is there any easy workaround to this, allowing an editor to touch up the metadata before accepting an item for public access? best regards Mathias Hjelt Swedish School of Economics and Business Administration - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Dspace-tech] Affiliation per author
Hello, Does anyone have an elegant solution for allowing submitting users to specify the affiliation of each author of, say, a journal article? I'm sure this must be a rather common requirement for DSpace implementations, yet I have not found a straight-forward way of implementing this. One solution I'm thinking about is putting the authors and their affiliations in numbered metadata fields instead of repeating the dc.contributor.author field. E.g something like this: dc.contributor.author1 = Author, Albert dc.contributor.author2 = Researcher, Roger dc.contributor.affiliation1 = Universal University dc.contributor.affiliation2 = Specific School Then I'd put in non-repeated fields for these in the input form, and have them all indexed as Author. I guess this would be functional but not very elegant. Especially since it grows very hairy if one wants to allow for a larger number of authors per item, say five.. Any other suggestions?

[Dspace-tech] Language flags not used from item template
I have discovered something that I believe is a bug, or then there's something I simply don't get: language flags assigned to metadata fields in an item template seem to be ignored completely. How to reproduce (tested this with dspace 1.4.2): 1) Create an item template for a collection 2) In the template, assign a default value to Title for example, and set the language for this field to something else than your default language 3) Start submitting to the new collection: the default Title from the template shows up, all is well so far.. 4) Review the metadata of the submitted entry. Your default Title is still there, but the language flag is now set to whatever you have defined in dspace.cfg/default.language! If default.language is not set, the Title field will not have any language definition at all. So to me it appears that the default.language parameter overrides the item template languages, even when default.language is undefined. Any thoughts on this? Bug or feature?
