Gary,
Christian is correct. That older Configurable Submission patch was
specifically for DSpace 1.4 (and not 1.4.1 or 1.4.2). So, it would take
some manual merging to try and get it working on 1.4.1 or 1.4.2.
In fact, I'd actually discourage anyone from installing that old
Configurable Submission patch (SF #1532695), as it's now considered
out-of-date. An updated and more stable version of the Configurable
Submission is already committed to be released as part of DSpace 1.5,
and I'd encourage you to wait for that if you can. (DSpace 1.5 should
hopefully be released in the next few months). I'm actually going to go
into the Patch Queue right now and mark that older patch as out of date.
In addition, since I'm only one person supporting this patch, there is
unlikely to be a migration path between that old Configurable Submission
patch and DSpace 1.5. So, before upgrading to the eventual DSpace 1.5,
you'd likely need to completely uninstall this old Configurable
Submission patch anyways.
Feel free to let me know if you have further questions on this!

I'm using SF patch #1532695 (should I be using SF patch #1691345?)
and I get compile errors.

All of the exceptions are 'class' or 'interface' expected. Can
anyone offer advice here?
This patch doesnt fit the version you are using.
There were conflicting changes made to this file
in the meantime. You have to merge manually.
Which version was current or under development
at the time the patch was sent in? You may
downlaod this version, patch it then diff it
with your current version, probably using a
three way diff tool (wonderful: FileMerge on
MacOS X, comes as a utility with the developer
tools). Or, you just read the patch, try to
understand, then reimplement it for the current
version. This approach might be easier in some
cases. You should use a decent editor that
helps you in highlighting java syntax and
jump to the apropriate section where the
methods are implemented. The same is true
for classes although it takes me wonder that
it even messes up with them as there is usually
only one per file. You are not a programmer?
Me not either. But you can come to an under-
standing by reading after a short kickstart.
You could also vote and promote your favourite
patches so that they get in with the next
release.
Bye, Christian
