[Dspace-tech] Sakai/Dspace Integartion
Hi Iam working on integarting Dspace in sakai by following the steps given in Caret site . Option1: 1.i have downloaded the sakai-src from sakaiproject.org , compiled it successfully . and have tested with both Hsql MySQL it worked . 2. Downloaded the Contenthostinghandler tool from https://saffron.caret.cam.ac.uk/svn/projects/Content/trunk/contenthostinghandlers/ 3.Modified the pom.xml by adding these lines modules … modulecontenthostinghandlers/module … /modules 4. i gave the maven build command and i got this compilation error == [javac] Compiling 9 source files to D:\vikramB\sakai\sakai-src\contenthostin ghandlers\content-chh\impl\target\classes D:\vikramB\sakai\sakai-src\contenthostinghandlers\content-chh\impl\src\java\org\ sakaiproject\content\chh\file\ContentHostingHandlerImplFileSystem.java:175: cann ot find symbol symbol : variable newFileLength location: class org.sakaiproject.content.chh.file.ContentResourceFileSystem crfs.newFileLength = totalLength; ^ 1 error BUILD FAILED Option2: i downloaded the sakai-src from https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/trunk/ which doesn't conatins maven.xml so unable to proceed with compilation Note: sakai/Dspace.html is attached Any Help on this is welcome Regards Vikram Title: dspace/Sakai Integration dspace/Sakai Integration DSpace / Sakai Integration What is it? The integration work is to develop a "live link" between a "Resources" tool on a Sakai workspace and a running DSpace instance on the same or another server machine. The link allows Sakai to interrogate DSpace's hierarchic archive for "Communities", "Collections" and "Items", and to display them in the familiar file-and-folder layout of Sakai's own resources tree. Furthermore, the tree of items in a single Resources tool can show simultaneously the resources held in more than one DSpace instance, and indeed those stored in other filesystems and archives external to Sakai. The framework for broadly representing external resources inside Sakai's Resources tool reuses earlier work done at CARET: Content Hosting Handlers. A DSpace instance can be exposed in a read-only fashion through Sakai, or read-write through Sakai's access control mechanisms. In either case, Sakai connects to DSpace as a single "EPerson" and if that account lacks submit privileges in DSpace, the functionality of Sakai's interface will be limited to reading from the digital repository. Prerequisities Sakai 2.4 (or later). The Content Hosting Handler is an extension to 2.4 (trunk) and will not be back-ported to Sakai 2.3 or 2.2. The ContentHostingHandler tool, obtained from CARET's SVN repository DSpace 1.4.1 (or later) Larry Stone's Leightweight Network Interface (LNI) adapter for the DSpace source (which is an incomplete implementation -- see patches below) CARET patch for DSpace 1.4.1: database connection resource-leak-under-load patch CARET patch for DSpace 1.4.1: implements more of the LNI protocol by adding commands for writing to DSpace: make-collection and delete community/collection/item/bitstream Installation Sakai Get an SVN checkout of Sakai 2.4 trunk: svn co https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/trunk/ In the source directory, get the ContentHostingHandler tool: svn co https://saffron.caret.cam.ac.uk/svn/projects/Content/trunk/contenthostinghandlers/ Modify your pom.xml file so Maven 2 knows to build the ContentHostingHandler extensions: modules … modulecontenthostinghandlers/module … /modules Build Sakai using Maven 1 or 2. For example, using Maven 2: mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true -Dmaven.tomcat.home=/path/to/your/tomcat/ clean install sakai:deploy DSpace Get a CVS checkout of the DSpace 1.4.1 code (recommended), or simply download the (older) tar file in this CamTools worksite Resources: tar xjf ../dspace141-pre-lni.tar.bz2 Apply the DSpace/LNI patch (see file in Resources tool): cd dspace-1.4.1-source patch -p0 lni-1.4-diffs.txt unzip lni-1.4-new.zip Apply the CARET patches to DSpace (files in the Resources section, and also in your SVN checkout of ContentHostingHandlers from CARET's SVN repository): patch -p0 dspace-resource-leak.patch patch -p0 dspace-lni-delete-mkcol.patch cd .. Compile and deploy DSpace using Apache Ant: cd dspace-1.4.1-source ant clean ant build_wars ant lni_client cd .. cp dspace-1.4.1-source/build/*.war /path/to/your/tomcat/webapps/ Start-Up Start your DSpace server and Sakai server. It does not matter which you start first, and Sakai will not bork if DSpace goes away and comes back while a Sakai
[Dspace-tech] Help - Extra character appearing in HTML document
I've uploaded an HTML page into DSpace When the page stored in DSpace is viewed from Internet Explorer under Win 2K or Firefox under CentOS 4.5 instead of a space character I am sometimes getting a capital A with a ^ on top of it. This is listed as #194 in utf8. Any suggestions why these extra characters might be sometimes appearing in the body of the HTML document? ( - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Dspace-tech] Migrating DSPACE data from Postgres to ORACLE
Would anyone have advice on tackling the migration of DSPACE from Postgres to ORACLE? Has anyone used DTM? Or would anyone recommend another tool or recommend just SQL loader? Anything we should watch out for? Table/field definition compatibility etc.? Thank you Gabrielle. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems?

[Dspace-tech] Embargo on bitstream
Hi, We use DSpace among other things for Dissertations Online. Sometimes the dissertation is in the repository, but the publisher disallows the distribution of the full text of the dissertation or part of the dissertation. It must be under embargo. We have implemented a solution for this by using the resource policy mechanism. You can set an embargo on a single bitstream, and when the embargo ends, the bitstream is automagically available for download. I want to share the code, but we still use Dspace 1.3.2 without CVS/SVN support, so making a patch is nearly impossible. That is way I made a wiki discribing the changes, including some screenshots and a script to set embargoes in batch. See it at: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Embargo_on_Bitstream I also looked at the source for Dspace 1.4.2 and I think it is viable to implement this change on that version, but until we upgrade to Dspace 1.4.2 ourselves, it is left as an exercise for the reader ;-) regards, Lucas van Schaik Developer Leiden University Library Witte Singel 27, Postbus 9501, 2300 RA Leiden Tel. +31 71 - 527 28 87 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Dspace-tech] Problem with DSpace 1.4.2
Hi... On my test server, I upgraded from DSpace 1.3.2 to DSpace 1.4.2. I am having a strange problem. Everything is working fine EXCEPT that when I view an item, it says: There are no files associated with this item. This even happens when I add a new item. Has anyone else run into a problem like this? *** George Kozak Coordinator Web Development and Management Digital Media Group 501 Olin Library Cornell University 607-255-8924 *** [EMAIL PROTECTED] - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
