Hello CollectionSpacers, Today I've been looking into modifying a few of the controlled lists in CollectionSpace, and I'm wondering if the wiki might be running behind on related changes. I've been going off of http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/collectionspace/How+to+add+a+term+to+a+controlled+list, and have tried both of the two described options. The JSON approach sounded simpler, and I was successful in requesting URL:http://localhost:8180/collectionspace/chain/vocabularies/currency with my browser and getting the list of currencies. However, I didn't have any luck sending updates via POST; when I try, I get this: URL:http://localhost:8180/cspace-services//vocabularies/fa864d81-65b7-4491-bef8/items: STATUS:0:Connection exceptionUsername may not be null Since we're ultimately going to need to change and remove options in addition to adding them, the JSON option doesn't look like it'd be the comprehensive solution anyhow , so I next turned to the cspace-config path. The steps listed on the wiki page were a little unclear to me, but here's what I tried: 1. modifying the jboss/server/cspace/conf/cspace-config.xml file directly, and accessing http://localhost:8180/collectionspace/chain/vocabularies/currency/refresh/ in my browser. This produced no error, but also no new currency (I added <option>Gold Piece</option> in cspace-config) in the server log, the UI, or when listed via http://localhost:8180/collectionspace/chain/vocabularies/currency/ 2. I noticed that there was an intermediate step, "redeploy the chain.war". Some searching suggests that chain.war is now known as collectionspace.war. According to http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/collectionspace/Application+Build the process for generating collectionspace.war involves checking out the application code, and running `mvn clean install -DskipTests`. Before running mvn I made my same change in tomcat-main/src/main/resources/default.xml. After the mvn run, my Gold Pieces option was present in the server cspace-config.xml. I restarted, and visited collectionspace/chain/authorities/vocab/initialize in my browser. No errors, but again no changes in the UI or via http://localhost:8180/collectionspace/chain/vocabularies/currency/ Has this all changed in intervening releases, or am I just missing something? thanks, Joe

Hi Joe - You just have to login to the stack once, to get your credentials established, and then you can use the JSON route through the chain services. If you'd like, we could also easily expose JSON payloads in and out of the back-end services. We've talked about it often enough, but we need someone advocating for this as a priority to give it attention.

sorry about the documentation - I will get onto that as soon as possible - however on point 2. You only need to redeploy the war file you don't need to rebuild it. If you rebuild it, the mvn command will probably overwrite your cspace-config.xml file. Depending how you system is set up - sometimes just running the command "touch" on the war file - which you correctly noted is now called collectionspace.war is enough to announce to the server that it needs to refresh itself and effectively restart the war. It all depends how you have set up your instances Chris On 24/05/2011 23:24, Joe Slag wrote: > Hello CollectionSpacers, > > Today I've been looking into modifying a few of the controlled lists > in CollectionSpace, and I'm wondering if the wiki might be running > behind on related changes. > > I've been going off of > http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/collectionspace/How+to+add+a+term+to+a+controlled+list, > and have tried both of the two described options. > > The JSON approach sounded simpler, and I was successful in requesting > URL:http://localhost:8180/collectionspace/chain/vocabularies/currency > with my browser and getting the list of currencies.

To clarify -- this JSON route isn't using the same authorization code as the REST services, right? I've figured out how to add credentials to REST requests, but that doesn't seem to work here. If I POST the username and password to collectionspace/chain/login, my script does get directed to collectionspace/ui/html/myCollectionSpace.html, but I don't see a cookie in the response so I'm not having any luck getting subsequent requests authorized. Any time there's a chance to produce or consume JSON, that would be my preference over XML -- chalk me up as a JSON advocate! cheers, Joe On Tue, May 24, 2011 at 5:26 PM, Patrick Schmitz <pschmitz@berkeley.edu> wrote: > Hi Joe - > > You just have to login to the stack once, to get your credentials > established, and then you can use the JSON route through the chain services. > > > If you'd like, we could also easily expose JSON payloads in and out of the > back-end services.

Our server is installed as described in http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/Installing+1.6+on+Generic+Unix-like+or+Windows+Systems (running on ubuntu 10.04 server). With that config, `touch deploy/collectionspace.war` isn't causing my added currency to show up in the web UI. cheers, Joe On Wed, May 25, 2011 at 5:04 AM, Chris Martin <csm22@caret.cam.ac.uk> wrote: > sorry about the documentation - I will get onto that as soon as possible - > however on point 2.

Right - the current json route at .../collectionspace/chain/... is hitting the application layer services. The back-end services are provided at .../cspace-services/... I'll look into enabling JSON on the services side. When I want to hit the application services through the browser, I usually log into the app via the UI, and that sets the cookie I need. I have not tried to hit the app layer from an app outside the browser.

Hi Joe, I'm not 100% what this setting is defaulted to in our distributed tarballs, but it's possible that deployment scanning isn't turned on by default. To turn this on, open the file: $JBOSS_HOME/server/cspace/conf/jboss-service.xml and make sure the following line has the value "true": <attribute name="ScanEnabled">true</attribute> Restart the cspace server after this, and it should automagically deploy the war file when you update it. Also, a bit off topic, but if you are installing on ubuntu, we have specific apt-compatible linux install instructions http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/Installing+1.6+on+Aptitude+Compatible+Linux+Distributions . This will make installation a bit easier, as it is basically copy/paste all the way through. ~Kasper On 05/25/2011 11:18 AM, Joe Slag wrote: > Our server is installed as described in > http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/Installing+1.6+on+Generic+Unix-like+or+Windows+Systems > (running on ubuntu 10.04 server). > > With that config, `touch deploy/collectionspace.war` isn't causing my > added currency to show up in the web UI. > > cheers, > Joe > > On Wed, May 25, 2011 at 5:04 AM, Chris Martin<csm22@caret.cam.ac.uk> wrote: >> sorry about the documentation - I will get onto that as soon as possible - >> however on point 2.

Hi Kasper, you are correct, ScanEnabled was set to false. I switched that to true, restarted collectionspace, and my new option appeared. I'm still a bit confused about the correct sequence of events -- I've played around now with adding a few terms, and there doesn't seem to be a simple sequence like the following that works reliably: 1. add term to conf/cspace-config.xml 2. touch deploy/collectionspace.war 3. visit collectionspace/chain/vocabularies/{your vocab here}/refresh in browser If I fiddle around with the second couple steps a few times, my additions do eventually show up. Also, it appears that this process only handles adding new terms; if a term is removed from cspace-config.xml, it keeps showing up. I don't see anything on the wiki about changing / removing list items -- anyone have any hints? cheers, Joe On Wed, May 25, 2011 at 12:52 PM, Kasper Galschiot Markus <kasper2@markus.dk> wrote: > Hi Joe, > > I'm not 100% what this setting is defaulted to in our distributed tarballs, > but it's possible that deployment scanning isn't turned on by default. > > To turn this on, open the file: > $JBOSS_HOME/server/cspace/conf/jboss-service.xml > > and make sure the following line has the value "true": > > <attribute name="ScanEnabled">true</attribute> > > Restart the cspace server after this, and it should automagically deploy the > war file when you update it. >

instead of refresh try initialize that should delete any existing vocab of that name and completely rewrite it. so: collectionspace/chain/vocabularies/{your vocab here}/initialize I know I wrote some doc about vocab initialization - I will try and dig it out when I am at work tomorrow Chris > Hi Kasper, > > you are correct, ScanEnabled was set to false.
