Class ItemUpdate

java.lang.Object
  org.dspace.app.itemupdate.ItemUpdate

public class ItemUpdate
extends Object

Provides some batch editing capabilities for items in DSpace: Metadata fields - Add, Delete Bitstreams - Add, Delete The design has been for compatibility with ItemImporter in the use of the DSpace archive format which is used to specify changes on a per item basis. The directory names to correspond to each item are arbitrary and will only be used for logging purposes. The reference to the item is from a required dc.identifier with the item handle to be included in the dublin_core.xml (or similar metadata) file. Any combination of these actions is permitted in a single run of this class The order of actions is important when used in combination. It is the responsibility of the calling class (here, ItemUpdate) to register UpdateAction classes in the order to which they are to be performed. It is unfortunate that so much code needs to be borrowed from ItemImport as it is not reusable in private methods, etc. Some of this has been placed into the MetadataUtilities class for possible reuse elsewhere.
