[10:01:49 EDT(-0400)] <esm> hey EricDalquist
[10:01:57 EDT(-0400)] <esm> i took a look at the pluto page on the wiki
[10:02:09 EDT(-0400)] <esm> seems reasonable
[10:02:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> thanks ... I'll be expanding on it more today
[10:02:16 EDT(-0400)] <esm> cool
[10:02:25 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it is a lot of stuff to try and figure out
[10:02:42 EDT(-0400)] <esm> yeah. what are teh IChannel Extensions IAction, ILayout, etc?
[10:02:44 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the integration points aren't as clean as in the sandbox code
[10:02:47 EDT(-0400)] <esm> yeah
[10:03:01 EDT(-0400)] <esm> are those new interfaces?
[10:03:05 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[10:03:24 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> there would be a IPortletAdapter interface that would extend a bunch of those others
[10:03:40 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> each interface would define some set of APIs for that bit of functionality that isn't there now

[11:01:39 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> hello
[11:01:51 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> good morning
[11:02:40 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> we installed toro portlet for single sign on
[11:02:58 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> and we are getting a error of it failing to render..
[11:03:00 EDT(-0400)] * esm cheers
[11:03:35 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> can you find the error message in the portal log or the portlet's log?
[11:06:49 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> going to try to find log for the portelet
[11:06:55 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ok
[11:07:06 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the error message should also be logged in uPortal's log
[11:07:28 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> where would that be .
[11:07:39 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> in the same directory as tomcat's logs?
[11:07:53 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it is defined in uPortal/properties/Logger.properties
[11:12:16 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> hmm
[11:12:39 EDT(-0400)] <esm> woops didn't mean to cheer a failure :/
[11:12:55 EDT(-0400)] <esm> i mean, grats on getting it installed
[11:12:56 EDT(-0400)] <esm> sheesh
[11:13:06 EDT(-0400)] * esm sings the friday song
[11:13:10 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> heh..
[11:13:26 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> i found the error .. at least..
[11:13:46 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> you can use the URL in the topic to paste it and give us a URL in here to take a look if you want
[11:14:02 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> cant't find portlet for id 'Academus.WebMailGateway'
[11:14:14 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> hrm
[11:14:34 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> is Academus the name of the folder or WAR that the portlet is deployed to tomcat in?
[11:16:41 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> yeah is a warfile
[11:16:43 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> in
[11:16:47 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> webapps directory
[11:17:09 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> next thing I would check is when tomcat starts does it have any messages about contexts not starting?
[11:18:09 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> no.. i am double checking portlet.xml file right now
[11:22:40 EDT(-0400)] * EricDalquist (n=dalquist@bohemia.doit.wisc.edu) has joined ##uportal
[11:38:28 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> hmm. found a log file to look at.. academus-apps.log in the tomcat log directory
[11:38:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> sounds promissing
[11:39:52 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> yeah.. initParameter 'userContextTimer'.. if i ever get this working.. i should add this to the wiki
[11:46:49 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> yipee a different error now
[11:46:56 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> progress!
[11:58:23 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> it is funky error..
[11:58:47 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> the stack trace is begins with nullpointer error.
[11:59:08 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> paste the full stack trace http://rafb.net/paste/
[12:00:29 EDT(-0400)] <ac_chan> http://rafb.net/p/uNWq0T79.html
[12:02:07 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> interesting ... my 'guess' would be that GatewayPortlet is trying to use a init-param or portlet preference to get a configuration string to pass into a StringBuffer but the param/preference doesn't exist so it is getting null instead
