Rebuild+DSpace

The following directions are for DSpace 1.5.x and above!

...

• dspace - The DSpace Installation directory
• dspace-source

  Code Block
  /dspace/

  - The DSpace Assembly project within the DSpace source code
• dspace-source

  Code Block
  /dspace/target/dspace-[version]-build.dir/

  - The directory where the DSpace Assembly project builds a new installation package for DSpace.
• Tomcat

  Code Block
  /webapps/

  (Mac OSX Server:

  Code Block
  /library/jboss/3.2/deploy

  )
• Note: JBOSS comes pre-installed with Mac OS X server. However, for both server and desktop editions Tomcat may be used as with other platforms.

Quick Restart (Just restarts the web server after configuration changes*)

(*Exception - – Changes to Messages.properties always requires a rebuild!)

...

1. Log on to the server DSpace is running on (e.g. ssh). Make sure to login as the user who initially installed DSpace!
2. Open a command prompt (if you don't have one already), and

   Code Block
   cd

   dspace-source

   Code Block
   /dspace/

3. Code Block
   mvn build

   (recompiles all DSpace code and rebuilds the DSpace installation package)

4. Code Block
   cd

   dspace-source

   Code Block
   /dspace/target/dspace-[version]-build.dir/

   (move into the target directory where DSpace has been rebuilt)

5. Code Block
   ant update

   (updates your DSpace install based on the newly built content in your target directory)

• Alternatively, if you do not need to reinstall JAR files, you could instead run

  Code Block
  ant update_webapps

  Wiki Markup
  (which just copies over web application changes to your \[dspace)

1. If you do not have Tomcat pointing at your dspace

   Code Block
   /webapps/

   directory, you will also need to copy your final web application(s) into your Tomcat

   Code Block
   /webapps/

   directory.

• Code Block
  cp -R [dspace]/webapps/

  Tomcat

  Code Block
  /webapps/

• (For Mac OS X Server)

  Code Block
  cp build/*.war /library/jboss/3.2/deploy

1. Test your changes in DSpace

...

1. Log on to the server DSpace is running on (e.g. ssh). Make sure to log in as the user who initially installed DSpace!
2. Open a command prompt (if you don't have one already), and

   Code Block
   cd

   dspace-source

   Code Block
   /dspace/

3. Code Block
   mvn clean build

   (removes all old compiled code and recompiles all DSpace code and rebuilds the DSpace installation package)

4. Code Block
   cd

   dspace-source

   Code Block
   /dspace/target/dspace-[version]-build.dir/

   (move into the target directory where DSpace has been rebuilt)

• (For Mac OS X Server)

  Code Block
  cp build/*.war /library/jboss/3.2/deploy

1. Test changes in DSpace
   • To force Tomcat to recompile everything, you may also wish to remove any DSpace related web application directories created in Tomcat

     Code Block
     /work/Catalina/localhost

2. Start Tomcat
   • (Linux / OS X / Solaris) Tomcat/bin/startup.sh
   • (Mac OS X Server) Use Server Admin to start Tomcat ("Application Server")
   • (Windows) Use Tomcat Service Monitor (in Notification Area) to start Tomcat
3. Test your changes in DSpace
