A showcase for using the Rosetta Webservices to update Metadata in Rosettas Permanent. It's build with play framework, which I agree is a bit oversized for this small application. But it's my favorite developing environment, so it was quickly setup.
The application has a form page for entering the necessary data and a result page with progressbar and the possibility to download an csv file with the logged data. The once entered data is saved locally for later use.
The application searches for a key by SRU, gets the ID of the IE so it can update the value in the replace key field. The main logic is made in the UpdateActor Speaking of Actor: PlayFramework is reactive.
Some values in the form have to be explained:
- Searchkey: the key field to be searched by SRU
- Replacekey: the key field in the mets to be replaced
- Replacekeyattribute: Maybe the field to be replaced needs an attribute
- Data: lines of value pairs to be updated -
<value of searchkey>;<value to update replace field>
You need a Java JDK
- Clone it
- Change permission of activator to make it executable
- For running in development mode:
activator run - For creating a standalone version:
activator distThis produces a ZIP file containing all JAR files needed to run your application in the target/universal folder of your application. There will be a directory bin in the unpacked zip containing startscripts for linux und windows.
