Everyone,
Thanks for the input! I was never able to get JAI to work and instead of
going down the kakadu route I've built a media filter that runs thumbnails
through a djatoka media server. Djatoka is able to handle all the popular
image formats including jpeg2000 and tiff. It will also use the best java
libraries for each format, so jpeg 2000 are handled by kakadu, tiffs by
something called imagej(?), and the others by plain old imageio. One
caveat, the filter can only process images which are publicly viewable on
the web. The way it works is to give djatoka the url back to the bitstream
in DSpace to process so if there is any access restrictions then it won't
be able to download the original image.
https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1147
To use: You'll need to apply the small patch to the filter media manager
(so that it keeps track of which bitstream it is working on), and put the
djatoka filter in. Then on the configuration side wire up the plugin, and
supply the config value "djatoka.url" so it knows where the media server is.
If there's interest and support I package this up to be included DSpace
proper. Otherwise I'll just leave it as a code snipit. We haven't deployed
it yet at A&M but plan too.
