Example Value:

db.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/dspace_-services

Informational Note:

The above value is the default value when configuring with PostgreSQL. When using Oracle, use this value: jbdc.oracle.thin:@//host:port/dspace

Example Value:

db.username = dspace

Informational Note:

In the installation directions, the administrator is instructed to create the user "dspace" who will own the database "dspace".

Example Value:

db.password = dspace5dspacepassword

Informational Note:

This is the password that was prompted during the installation process (cf. 3.2.3. Installation)

Example Value:

db.schema = vrapublic

Informational Note:

If your database contains multiple schemas, you can avoid problems with retrieving the definitions of duplicate objects by specifying the schema name here that is used for DSpace by uncommenting the entry. This property is optional.

Example Value:

db.maxconnections = 30

Informational Note:

Maximum number of Database connections in the connection pool

Example Value:

db.maxwait = 5000

Informational Note:

Maximum time to wait before giving up if all connections in pool are busy (in milliseconds).

Example Value:

db.maxidle = -1

Informational Note:

Maximum number of idle connections in pool. (-1 = unlimited)

Example Value:

db.statementpool = true

Informational Note:

Determines if prepared statement should be cached. (Default is set to true)

Example Value:

db.poolname = dspacepool

Informational Note:

Specify a name for the connection pool. This is useful if you have multiple applications sharing Tomcat's database connection pool. If nothing is specified, it will default to 'dspacepool'

Example Value:

Informational Note:

This is used to customize the DC metadata fields that display in the item display (the brief display) when pulling up a record. The format is: <schema>.<element>.<_optional_qualifier> . In place of the qualifier, one can use the wildcard "*" to include all fields of the same element, or, leave it blank for unqualified elements. Additionally, two additional options are available for behavior/rendering: (date) and (link). See the following examples:

dc.title = Dublin Core element "title" (unqualified)
dc.title.alternative = DC element "title", qualifier "alternative"
dc.title.* = All fields with Dublin Core element 'title' (any or no qualifier)
dc.identifier.uri(link) = DC identifier.uri, rendered as a link
dc.date.issued(date) = DC date.issued, rendered as a date
The Messages.properties file controls how the fields defined above will display to the user. If the field is missing from the Messages.properties file, it will not be displayed. Look in Messages.properties under the metadata.dc.<field>. Example:
metadata.dc.contributor.other = Authors
metadata.dc.contributor.author = Authors
metadata.dc.title.* = Title
Please note: The order in which you place the values to the property key control the order in which they will display to the user on the outside world. (See the Example Value above).

Example Value:

Informational Note:

When using "resolver" in webui.itemdisplay to render identifiers as resolvable links, the base URL is taken from <code>webui.resolver.<n>.baseurl<code> where <code>webui.resolver.<n>.baseurl<code> matches the urn specified in the metadata value. The value is appended to the "baseurl" as is, so the baseurl needs to end with the forward slash almost in any case. If no urn is specified in the value it will be displayed as simple text. For the doi and hdl urn defaults values are provided, respectively http://dc.doi.org and http://hdl.handle.net are used. If a metadata value with style "doi", "handle" or "resolver" matches a URL already, it is simply rendered as a link with no other manipulation.

Example Value:

Informational Note:

Specify which strategy to use for select the style for an item.

Example Value:

webui.itemdisplay.thesis.collections = 123456789/24, 123456789/35

Informational Note:

Specify which collections use which views by Handle.

Example Value:

Informational Note:

Specify which metadata to use as name of the style

Example Value:

Informational Note:

Customize the DC fields to use in the item listing page. Elements will be displayed left to right in the order they are specified here. The form is <schema prefix>.<element>[.<qualifier> | .*][(date)], ...
Although not a requirement, it would make sense to include among the listed fields at least the date and title fields as specified by the webui.browse.index configuration options in the next section mentioned. (cf.)
If you have enabled thumbnails (webui.browse.thumbnail.show), you must also include a 'thumbnail' entry in your columns‚ this is where the thumbnail will be displayed.

Example Value:

webui.itemlist.width = *, 130, 60%, 40%

Informational Note:

You can customize the width of each column with the following line--you can have numbers (pixels) or percentages. For the 'thumbnail' column, a setting of '*' will use the max width specified for browse thumbnails (cf. webui.browse.thumbnail.maxwidth, thumbnail.maxwidth)

Example Value:

Informational Note:

You can override the DC fields used on the listing page for a given browse index and/or sort option. As a sort option or index may be defined on a field that isn't normally included in the list, this allows you to display the fields that have been indexed/sorted on. There are a number of forms the configuration can take, and the order in which they are listed below is the priority in which they will be used (so a combination of an index name and sort name will take precedence over just the browse name).In the last case, a sort option name will always take precedence over a browse index name. Note also, that for any additional columns you list, you will need to ensure there is an itemlist.<field name> entry in the messages file.

Example Value:

webui.itemlist.dateaccessioned.columns = thumbnail, dc.date.accessioned(date), dc.title, dc.contributor.*

Informational Note:

This would display the date of the accession in place of the issue date whenever the dateaccessioned browsed index or sort option is selected. Just like webui.itemlist.columns, you will need to include a 'thumbnail' entry to display the thumbnails in the item list.

Example Value:

webui.itemlist.dateaccessioned.widths = *, 130, 60%, 40%

Informational Note:

As in the aforementioned property key, you can customize the width of the columns for each configured column list, substituting ".widths" for ".columns" in the property name. See the setting for webui.itemlist.widths for more information.

Example Value:

webui.itemlist.tablewidth = 100%

Informational Note:

You can also set the overall size of the item list table with the following setting. It can lead to faster table rendering when used with the column widths above, but not generally recommended.

Example Value:

webui.session.invalidate = true

Informational Note:

Enable or disable session invalidation upon login or logout. This feature is enabled by default to help prevent session hijacking but may cause problems for shibboleth, etc. If omitted, the default value is "true". [Only used for JSPUI authentication].
