[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Archivists Toolkit incompatibility with Java 8 (AR-1157)

Tue Feb 2 13:01:54 EST 2016

Hello all,
Have any other users implemented the latest AT version 16, for java8 compatibility, per https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1157?

While we work towards our ArchivesSpace migration, we need to be able to use the AT with java 8 to address security vulnerabilities. While the latest AT version 16 solves the ns2 namespace export issue, our EAD imports are not working correctly.

Upon EAD import, note fields all end up with extraneous "<p xmlns="urn:isbn:1-931666-22-9" xmlns:ns2="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">" at the start of each paragraph.  Note that there is no </p>, which seems to result in AT dropping this data during EAD export.  (AT exports these notes with empty paragraphs <p/>).  This starts to get very messy if notes are multi-paragraph or if any additional <title> and <emph> are involved.  Has anyone else seen this?

Importing:
 <acqinfo>
      <head>Provenance</head>
      <p>The Oscar Bluemner papers were donated in several installments from 1970 to 1985 by John
        Davis Hatch, an art historian and close friend of Bluemner.</p>
    </acqinfo>

                                Results in AT data field:
<p xmlns="urn:isbn:1-931666-22-9" xmlns:ns2="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">The Oscar Bluemner papers were donated in several installments from 1970 to 1985 by John Davis Hatch, an art historian and close friend of Bluemner.
Which then exports as:
<accessrestrict id="ref3">
            <head>Provenance</head>
            <p/>
Thanks for any insights -
Nancy
