[Dspace-tech] Item importer failure

[luc.g...@umontreal.ca]

Hello!

I have had this error when running the item importer. I do not see what is wrong with the corresponding XML file which appears to be the cause (see below for the XML)

On execution:

=====
[the 3 first items are OK]...

3 004
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The reference to entity "D" must end with the ';' delimiter.

The XML file:

=====
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dublin_core>
<dcvalue element="contributor" qualifier="author">Alj, Hakim</dcvalue>
<dcvalue element="contributor" qualifier="author">Benyoucef, Morad</dcvalue>
<dcvalue element="contributor" qualifier="author">Keller, Rudolf K</dcvalue>
<dcvalue element="contributor" qualifier="author">Levy, Kim</dcvalue>
<dcvalue element="title" qualifier="none">A Rule-driven Approach for Defining the Behavior of Negotiating Software Agents</dcvalue>
<dcvalue element="date" qualifier="issued">2002-03</dcvalue>
</dublin_core>
=====

I do not see what is the entity the error message is referring to.

I also have another question: if I re-run the item importer with the same data set (once the problem is solved), do I have to first remove from the set the three items which were correctly imported or will the importer manage those items already loaded?

Thanks!
