Marie-Hélène, I just had a moment to test this on out-of-the-box DSpace 1.5.1 JSPUI, and it looks like the problem does *not* occur in that version.
Here's what I did, starting from a completely *uncustomized* version of 1.5.1 JSPUI: (1) Added that custom 'org.dspace.submit.step.InitializationStep' code, and recompiled 1.5.1 JSPUI (2) Modified the 'item-submission.xml' to add the reference to the InitializationStep as the *first* step. I also moved the LicenseStep to be immediately after that InitializationStep (which sounds like your setup) (3) I logged in as a non-Admin user, and submitted a new item to a Collection which requires a Workflow approval (4) I then logged in as the Approver for that Collection and rejected the item. (5) I went back and logged in as the same non-Admin user from #3 above. I tried going through and updating the rejected item again. All the previous metadata (and files) re-appeared, and I was able to re-submit that same item again. Does that represent a good test of what you are doing when you see these errors in 1.5.0?? If it does, you may want to try upgrading to DSpace 1.5.1 (it should be a rather easy upgrade, as there's no database changes between 1.5.0->1.5.1, just code changes). So, hopefully an upgrade would resolve your problems (fingers crossed). - Tim Tim Donohue wrote: > Marie-Hélène, > > I actually haven't encountered that exact issue (as we're doing more > work with the XMLUI).
