Remote-Handle-Resolver is a storage plugin for the Handle System resolver, which forwards requests to remote DSpace instances for resolution. DSpace serves as the "database" for resolving Handle lookups.
To use this, place the built JAR in the resolver's classpath and configure the resolver to use org.dspace.handle.MultiRemoteDSpaceRepositoryHandlePlugin as the storage back-end. See the Handle resolver documentation for details.
The plugin must be configured with the location of the remote DSpace instances. Create a file named "handle-dspace-plugin.cfg" in the resolver's directory. This file is in Java serialized Properties format. All properties beginning with "dspace.handle.endpoint" will be
loaded:
dspace.handle.endpoint1 = http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handleresolver
dspace.handle.endpoint2 = http://localhost:8181/xmlui/handleresolver
dspace.handle.endpoint3 = http://localhost:8182/xmlui/handleresolver
This allows you to run the Handle server on a separate machine than your
DSpace instance. If you use one Handle server for several DSpace
instances, please have in mind that they will still need to use distinct
handle prefixes.
