Tim thanks for the answer even if it is not what I hoped.
I am thinking of writing a command /main program that creates a collection with a given name, parent, authorizations and maps the newly created collection to a given form. The first part is easy enough - but mucking around in the input-forms.xml config file is a bit uncomfortable. For some reason I had assumed that these config files would be ‘moved’ to database tables. I see I am wrong on that account too :) What is your favorite XML Parser / Mangler class to use for this kind input-formns.xml manipulation ? Related to this: is there a simple way that allows me to add a form/page to the DSpace 5 JSPUI that accepts parameter values for a given curation task ?
