Re: [Dspace-tech] moving a subset of Handles out of DSpace
It does appear that using a tag to do a refresh within a specific sub-theme works properly. So we'll probably withdraw all the content (so it doesn't show up in searches) and alter the theme to do the redirect. I think that'll work fine for our needs. - Jim -Original Message- From: Mark H.

An interesting question and I don't know the answer. meta refresh is kind of icky, unless you need to interpose one of those "sit here forever and eventually your browser will show you what you asked for" pages. But I think that a theme could include a transformer that changes the response to an HTTP Redirect. I'd be surprised if there isn't one already, but if not, it should be simple to write. This might at least be a good alternative if the meta tag doesn't work out. -- Mark H. Wood Lead Technology Analyst University Library Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis 755 W.

Re: [Dspace-tech] moving a subset of Handles out of DSpace
Thanks Mark. I just had another idea as well. We already have this community under a separate, unique, XMLUI theme. Could we alter that theme to include a redirect META tag, that redirects to the new location, or to a service that finds the appropriate URL? I don't know if XMLUI themes can do things like that. - Jim From: Mark H.

The actual difficulty is that the Handle resolver that comes with DSpace is already hacked: it is configured to use a custom storage backend which depends on DSpace's Handle table. A stock Handle resolver would be able to comprehend having this resource on service A, that on service B...but DSpace doesn't know how to deal with the resolver directly. The two services communicate through the shared database. It probably wouldn't take too much effort to build a new Handle provider that interacts with a stock Handle resolver, and I've been thinking that that is really the way for DSpace to go. Has anyone already done that? -- Mark H. Wood Lead Technology Analyst University Library Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis 755 W.
