Introduction

The DSpace Spring Service Manager supports overriding configuration at many levels.

...

So you need to indeed create a new directory in [dspace]/config/spring. Next you need to create a class that inherits from the "org.dspace.kernel.config.SpringLoader". This class only contains one method named getResourcePaths(). What we do now at the moment is implement this in the following manner:

Code Block
java
java

@Override
public String[] getResourcePaths(ConfigurationService configurationService) {
     StringBuffer filePath = new StringBuffer();
     filePath.append(configurationService.getProperty("dspace.dir"));
     filePath.append(File.separator);
     filePath.append("config");
     filePath.append(File.separator);
     filePath.append("spring");
     filePath.append(File.separator);
     filePath.append("{module.name}"); //Fill in the module name in this string
     filePath.append(File.separator);
     try {

          //By adding the XML_SUFFIX here it doesn't matter if there should be some kind of spring.xml.old file in there it will only load in the active ones.
          return new String[]{new File(filePath.toString()).toURI().toURL().toString() + XML_SUFFIX};
      } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
          return new String[0];
      }
}

After the class has been created you will also need to add it to the "spring.springloader.modules" property located in the [dspace]/config/modules/spring.cfg.
The Spring service manager will check this property to ensure that only the interface implementations which it can find the class for are loaded in.
