Re: [Dspace-tech] Suggestion for Manakin install documentation
Certainly it would be good to not recommend placing it in [tomcat]/conf/context.xml, since that file supplies common configuration for all webapp.s and would conflict with any need to run two instances of XMLUI with different configurations. Yes, I have two distinctly-configured production XMLUI instances running in one Tomcat instance. I'd suggest that the only information in that file be things on which all of your webapp.s need to agree. The way I do it is, alas, also Tomcat-specific: place it in a context descriptor in [tomcat]/conf/Catalina/[host]/[contextpath].xml It's really unfortunate that there doesn't seem to be a standard-conforming way to pass per-instance configuration data into a webapp at startup time, instead of tinkering with the interior of the app. at build time for each distinct configuration. -- Mark H.

[Dspace-tech] Suggestion for Manakin install documentation
Hello! Thanks for making the Manakin install page available: http://di.tamu.edu/projects/xmlui/install#Installing%20Manakin I wanted to recommend a small change to the instructions. Rather than provide the Tomcat-specific instruction for setting the dspace-config context parameter: " ... Update Tomcat's conf/context.xml to include a parameter that tells Manakin where your dspace.cfg configuration is located. Modify the context.xml file to add the following element inside the element: ...", consider recommending that the user configurethe context-paramter in the Manakin web.xml file before building the manakin .war files -which should work for most J2EE servers (I'm running Glassfish,and all seems fine). $ svn diff config/web.xml Index: config/web.xml === --- config/web.xml (revision 664) +++ config/web.xml (working copy) @@ -46,6 +46,11 @@ An XML based front end to DSpace that allows thematic customizations to DSpace's interface. + + dspace-config + /opt/dspace/config/dspace.cfg + + ...
