Hi,
The error "
could not initialize proxy - no Session" usually implies a database connection or communication error. (It also can occur if you are using custom code and the custom code has a bug where it's not contacting the database properly...but that's less likely for most sites.)
I'd recommend looking for additional errors just before this regarding your database connection... or possibly a major error earlier in the logs which resulted in an invalid database connection. Based on the details of this error message, it's difficult to say what the cause is. But, I'd recommend looking closer at your dspace.log and/or Tomcat logs to see if **additional errors** exist...as they may be causing this error.
If that doesn't help, then you should share the exact version of DSpace you are using. It's also possible this is a bug in a specific version of DSpace, but we'd need more information about your setup to see if someone else can reproduce the problem.
