Class SubmissionConfigReader

java.lang.Object
  org.dspace.app.util.SubmissionConfigReader

public class SubmissionConfigReader
extends Object

Item Submission configuration generator for DSpace. Reads and parses the installed submission process configuration file, item-submission.xml, from the configuration directory. This submission process definition details the ordering of the steps (and number of steps) that occur during the Item Submission Process. There may be multiple Item Submission processes defined, where each definition is assigned a unique name. The file also specifies which collections use which Item Submission process. At a minimum, the definitions file must define a default mapping from the placeholder collection # to the distinguished submission process 'default'. Any collections that use a custom submission process are listed paired with the name of the item submission process they use.
