Sigh ... Implemnting embargo on the Manakin side of DSpace 1.5 is proving to be the bane of my life. I appreciate the suggestions I've received, but most of them require waiting, and that isn't an option.
Anyway, I've been trying to implement a variant of Embargo v2 (http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Embargo_on_Bitstream_v2_%28JSP%29), and making some progress. It comes down to a modification to dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/content/InstallItem.java , where I add the following code to installItem: DCValue[] dateAvailable = item.getDC("date", "available", Item.ANY); if (dateAvailable.length > 0) { DCValue dcDate = dateAvailable[0]; String dateStr = dcDate.value; // Convert yyyy-mm-dd to Date object int hyph1 = dateStr.indexOf ('-'); int hyph2 = dateStr.indexOf ('-', hyph1 + 1); if (hyph1 > 0 && hyph2 > hyph1) { int year = 2000, month = 1, day = 1; try { year = Integer.parseInt (dateStr.substring (0, hyph1 )); month = Integer.parseInt (dateStr.substring (hyph1 + 1, hyph2 )); day = Integer.parseInt (dateStr.substring (hyph2 + 1)); } catch (Exception e) {} Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance (); cal.set (year, month, day); //item.addDC("date", "available", null, now.toString()); TableRow row = DatabaseManager.create (c, "umrestricted"); row.setColumn ("item_id", item.getID()); row.setColumn ("release_date", cal.getTime()); int n = DatabaseManager.update(c, row); } } What I'm finding is that the row is created, but the item_id and release_date fields are null. I can add rows with non-null values using a desktop database client. I've put debugging code into TableRow.setColumn(String, Date), so I know that it's being reached, has correct data, and appears to complete correctly. I've stripped out the debugging code for readability, but it shows that DatabaseManager.update () is returning 0; i.e., it thinks that the row hasn't been modified in spite of my setColumn calls. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but can't figure out what. Any suggestions on what I might try? -- Gary McGath Digital Library Software Engineer Harvard University Libraries, Office for Information Systems ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
