Re: [Dspace-tech] Display order of authors doesn't match submission order

[Gary Browne]

Hi Mark,

 

I tried copying the suggested file (DescribeStep.java) to 
[dspace-src]/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/submit/step/DescribeStep.java, 
however now on submission the following error is triggered:

 

 

HTTP Status 500 -

 

type Exception report

 

message

 

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from 
fulfilling this request.

 

exception

 

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 
org.dspace.submit.step.DescribeStep.getInputsReader(Ljava/lang/String;)Lorg/dspace/app/util/DCInputsReader;

  
org.dspace.app.webui.submit.step.JSPDescribeStep.showEditMetadata(JSPDescribeStep.java:241)

  
org.dspace.app.webui.submit.step.JSPDescribeStep.doPreProcessing(JSPDescribeStep.java:144)

  
org.dspace.app.webui.submit.JSPStepManager.doStepStart(JSPStepManager.java:315)

  
org.dspace.app.webui.submit.JSPStepManager.processStep(JSPStepManager.java:278)

 

 

This would appear to be because, AFAICS, the patch file compared to my current 
production file removes two code blocks:

 

The first is:

 

// Only check for required fields if user clicked the "next", the "previous" or 
the "progress bar" button

if (buttonPressed.equals(NEXT_BUTTON)

|| buttonPressed.startsWith(PROGRESS_BAR_PREFIX)

|| buttonPressed.equals(PREVIOUS_BUTTON)

|| buttonPressed.equals(CANCEL_BUTTON))

{

 

The second (and troublesome one in this instance) is:

 

/**

 * @param filename

 *file to get the input reader for

 * @return the current DCInputsReader 

 */

public static DCInputsReader getInputsReader(String filename) throws 
ServletException

{

inputsReader = new DCInputsReader(filename);

return inputsReader;

}

 

Thus the above exception is thrown. I presume this DCInputsReader method is 
being called from somewhere – do I need to make changes to  or replace any 
other classes?

 

Thanks

Gary

Hi all,

I'm running dspace 1.5.2. After submitting an item, the author listing is not 
preserved in the same order as the submission order. Is there some 
configuration in dspace.cfg which applies to this? I note that there is the 
jira issue DS-153 but I'm not clear whether this applies to 1.5.2. If so, are 
there instructions somewhere about applying patches to DSpace? I found this:

http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/ApplyingPatches

but it doesn't actually describe the technical process.


Quick, dirty solution.

Take the following patched version of the file 

http://dspace.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dspace/branches/dspace-1_5_x/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/submit/step/DescribeStep.java?revision=3394&pathrev=3394

and place it in one of three possible locations:

If using the full source distribution, you can replace the contents of the 
class directly...

[dspace-src]/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/submit/step/DescribeStep.java


or if using either distribution you cna choose one of the two following 
locations:

if using jspui

[dspace-src]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/java/org/dspace/submit/step/DescribeStep.java

or if using xmlui

[dspace-src]/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/java/org/dspace/submit/step/DescribeStep.java


The later two place the class only within the webapplication you are building.  
While the first option will put the class into all webapplications and the lib 
directory used for the commandline functionality.

...
 


Furthermore, I am running another (unpatched) 1.5.2 instance of dspace 
which doesn't suffer from this problem - how can that be?


Without reviewing the code, I recall the order of the authors is actually 
driven off the order of database records within the metadatavalue table in 
database. (someone correct me if I'm in error).  Thus differences in behavior 
may actually be an artifact of the database behavior. Or perhaps your running 
the 1.5.x branch from svn which has this patch applied?

Unfortunately, this is an area where flat old DC records and conversely DSpace 
do not have particularly strong support.  I suspect that capturing the priority 
of authors could possibly best be held in textual form within an additional 
field such as dc.identifier.bibliographicCitation field as an unambiguous 
original citation for the resource.

I was reading...
http://www.mail-archive.com/dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net/msg05213.html

Which might make things "look" ok in the UI, but I wonder if its of any benefit 
in other parts of D

You need to deploy the 'oai' webapp to tomcat like you do the 'jspui' or 
'xmlui' webapp.

So copy [dspace]/webapps/oai to [tomcat]/webapps/oai/.

To access the interface you then use the URL:

 - http://your-host.example.com/oai/request (this is your base URL)
 - http://your-host.example.com/oai/request?verb=Identify (an example request)

Hope that helps,

Hello, All~

Can anyone point me to documentation about activating OAI in DSpace 
1.5.2?  I know I can setup the QDC.properties, which will guide how the 
metadata is distributed, but I need to know how to actually activate the 
OAI. 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

[Dspace-tech] Browsing by Author in Kubrick - alpha links don't work on author page

[Spencer Lamm]

Hi-
We're on 1.5.2 and currently revamping the Kubrick theme. When
browsing by author the alpha links don't work on the page for a single
author, like 'Browsing by Author "Chao, Corey"'.

Checked other DSpace instances and see the same problem at MIT -
http://dspace.mit.edu/browse?rpp=20&value=Aalberts%2C+Daniel+Paul%2C+1966-&etal=-1&type=author&starts_with=M&order=ASC&sort_by=-1.

Thanks,

[Dspace-tech] XMLUI -- Register new user -- fails

[Debashree Pati]

Hi,

 

I am having this problem:

 

Using the xmlui interface for registering a user I am trying to register a
new user by providing a valid e-mail address. But, it gives the error
message "unable to send e-mail to this address".  No errors are present in
any of the logs. I have been able to create users using the command line
tool without any error. 

 

This is happening for the first time in one of our instances. I searched the
dspace-tech and came across the following thread with the exact same problem
being reported:

http://www.mail-archive.com/dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net/msg09026.html

 

Contacted the person who had posted it but did not get any response. 

 

Will appreciate any help.

 

Thanks,

Deb

Re: [Dspace-tech] Collection Administrators

[Thornton, Susan M. (LARC-B702)[RAYTHEON TECHNICAL SERVICES COMPANY]]

Hi Richard,
 This is straight from the (DSpace 1.5.x) documentation, although I'm not 
sure it answers your question:

  i.
  Collection Administrators can:
1.  edit Collection description
2.  edit Submitters to a Collection
3.  map other Items into a Collection
4.  edit Item metadata in a Collection
5.  withdraw Items from a Collection

ii. 
 Collection Administrators can't:
1.  edit Authorization Policies at the Collection, Item, or Bitstream Levels
2.  edit the Workflow (change Workflow steps)
3.  edit Groups
4.  delete a Collection


Cheers,
Sue

Subject: [Dspace-tech] Collection Administrators


Hello,

We are running 1.5.2 using Manakin. I have set up a collection and created a 
group. I have assigned two people to the group and also assigned the group the 
collection administration role. The two users in the collection administrator 
group can do what I would expect, except for the following: They cannot delete 
or upload bitstreams on an existing item in the collection.

Is this by design or should they be able to do this? If they should be able to 
do it, how do I fix it so that it works for all existing items and any items 
that will be added later to that collection?
