Re: [Dspace-tech] Messages.properties customisation
Hi Michael, good to hear, that you solved it. There is one caveat though with using the jspui overlay message catalogue. This will only affect the jspui and not the api part, so parts of the emails for workflow notifications or subscriptions will still be pulled from the orginal Messages.properties.

Thanks everyone for the thoughts and pointers - turned out to be the old chestnut, "permissions" :-) Poking around my install directory I discovered a few files owned by root - which made me think that I must have done a rebuild/redeploy at some point under root yesterday by mistake (rather than my dspace/tomcat user). I wasn't seeing any obvious errors or warnings when rebuilding so this wasn't immediately apparent. I "chown -R"ed the src and install directories back to my tomcat user, and it started working like a charm - my updated Messages.properties file is now being picked up and the changes are being reflected in DSpace.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Messages.properties customisation
Hi Try deploying your properties files straight to your dspace instance to see if they are working correctly; 1. /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/dspace/jspui/webapps/jspui/WEB-INF/classes (change the path to your unpacked dspace war path) 2. Restart tomcat You could also check that the correct properties files are being deployed by checking the above path.

[Dspace-tech] Messages.properties customisation
Hi folks, I'm trying to edit some items in Messages.properties (and add some new ones) for a new v1.6 development instance but I'm struggling to understand how to get my updated Messages.properties file picked up by DSpace. I've done this in v1.4 before without problems, but I'm new to 1.6 and struggling to get this to work. I've been through the manual and searched the archives but nothing I'm trying is working so far - hopefully someone will be able to see what I'm doing wrong and point me in the right direction! If I'm understanding correctly, I should: - put my updated Messages.properties file here: /usr/src/dspace-1.6.2-src-release/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/resources - cd /usr/src/dspace-1.6.2-src-release/dspace/ - run mvn package - cd /usr/src/dspace-1.6.2-src-release/dspace/target/dspace-1.6.2-build.dir - run ant -Dconfig=/usr/local/dspace/config/dspace.cfg update - stop tomcat, redeploy my WAR files, start tomcat However, after doing this, I don't see the modified text on the screen, and I'm still seeing the "placeholder" labels, such as ???metadata.dc.citation.peerreviewed???, all over the place (even though I've now defined these in Messages.properties). I've also tried making the changes to Messages.properties directly at /usr/src/dspace-1.6.2-src-release/dspace-api/src/main/resources/Messages.properties (and rebuilding/redeploying), but to no avail. I have successfully modified some jsps using a local copy in /usr/src/dspace-1.6.2-src-release/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/webapp, so I know that the mvn, ant, redeploy procedure works in general. Am I doing anything obviously wrong? If not, then are there any other "gotchas" that I might be falling foul of? Any assistance very welcome!
