Class ItemImport

java.lang.Object

org.dspace.app.itemimport.ItemImport

public class ItemImport
extends Object

Import items into DSpace. The conventional use is upload files by copying them. DSpace writes the item's bitstreams into its assetstore. Metadata is also loaded to the DSpace database.

A second use assumes the bitstream files already exist in a storage resource accessible to DSpace. In this case the bitstreams are 'registered'. That is, the metadata is loaded to the DSpace database and DSpace is given the location of the file which is subsumed into DSpace.

The distinction is controlled by the format of lines in the 'contents' file. See comments in processContentsFile() below.

Modified by David Little, UCSD Libraries 12/21/04 to allow the registration of files (bitstreams) into DSpace.

processUploadableImport

public static void processUploadableImport(File file,
                           Collection[] collections,
                           String bteInputType,
                           Context context)
                                    throws Exception

Given an uploaded file, this method calls the method to instantiate a BTE instance to transform the input data and batch import them to DSpace

Parameters:

file - The input file to read data from

collections - The collections the created items will be inserted to

bteInputType - The input type of the data (bibtex, csv, etc.)

context - The context

Throws:

Exception

emailSuccessMessage

public static void emailSuccessMessage(Context context,
                       EPerson eperson,
                       String fileName)
                                throws javax.mail.MessagingException

Since the BTE batch import is done in a new thread we are unable to communicate with calling method about success or failure. We accomplish this communication with email instead. Send a success email once the batch import is complete

Parameters:

context - - the current Context

eperson - - eperson to send the email to

fileName - - the filepath to the mapfile created by the batch import

Throws:

javax.mail.MessagingException

emailErrorMessage

public static void emailErrorMessage(EPerson eperson,
                     String error)
                              throws javax.mail.MessagingException

Since the BTE batch import is done in a new thread we are unable to communicate with calling method about success or failure. We accomplis this communication with email instead. Send an error email if the batch import fails

Parameters:

eperson - - EPerson to send the error message to

error - - the error message

Throws:

javax.mail.MessagingException
