[sword-app-tech] depositMultipart always results in a 500 error

[Hayden Y. <hay...@wi...>]

I have successfully developed a deposit tool in Joomla using a 
PackagerMetsSwap package and SWORDAPPClient to deposit a SWORD package 
into DSpace via Swordv2.

The next step is to use SWORD to update an existing deposit, in 
particular when a user's item is rejected from the workflow. However, 
from what I can see in the PHP Sword client lib is that one cannot 
update an existing item using a METS package; rather, the deposit would 
need to be packaged as AtomMultipart.

I have successfully created a package using PackagerAtomMultipart but 
when I attempt to deposit it using $client->depositMultipart (where 
$client is an instance of SWORDAPPClient) an exception is thrown with 
the cryptic error:

Error parsing response entry (String could not be parsed as XML)

There are no errors in my Tomcat logs and DSpace logs aren't reporting 
anything unusual.

Next, I tried $response->deposit(...) and the deposit was successful. 
However, the first letter is dropped off of the deposited zip file, the 
title of the item is Untitled: name-of-deposited-zip.zip and all of the 
metadata is missing, including anything set using 
$package->addEntryAuthor(). So, for example, if my atom package is 
called atom_multipart_package.zip, I get the following record in my 
workflow list:

- Title: Untitled: tom_multipart_package.zip
- no metadata
- no author information set by addEntryAuthor()
- if I configure sword to save the deposited package, the file name is 
tom_multipart_package.zip, without the "a" at the front.

I have tested my own atom packages as well as the test ones bundled with 
the PHP Sword client libs and I get the same exception.

I've attached both atom packages as well as my DSpace swordv2-server 
config in case they may be of help.

Cheers


Hayden
