[09:51:39 EDT(-0400)] * esm (n=esm@asdf.dkc.jhu.edu) has joined ##uportal
[09:52:12 EDT(-0400)] * EricDalquist (n=dalquist@bohemia.doit.wisc.edu) has joined ##uportal
[09:56:18 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> morning
[10:08:23 EDT(-0400)] <esm> morning
[10:09:21 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm way behind on maven for the trunk
[10:09:31 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> these 2.6 issues are sucking up the time
[10:09:45 EDT(-0400)] <esm> yeah if you want I can take a look at it
[10:09:56 EDT(-0400)] <esm> probably not until Friday though
[10:10:09 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that would probably be helpful just to review what I've done so far
[10:10:27 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so right now I'm thinking of still doing an EAR file
[10:10:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and then having a tomcat specific assembly for dealing with container wide JDBC drivers
[10:12:02 EDT(-0400)] <esm> ok
[10:12:12 EDT(-0400)] <esm> so the tomcat-specific assembly will be an overlay?
[10:12:18 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[10:12:24 EDT(-0400)] <esm> user cd's into their tomcat directory and unzips the overlay?
[10:12:25 EDT(-0400)] <esm> ok
[10:12:37 EDT(-0400)] <esm> that sounds cool
[10:12:50 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it would explode the EAR into webapps and shared/lib directories
[10:12:57 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> then add the JDBC driver to common/lib
[10:13:10 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that last bit is all that the assembly needs to do
[10:17:25 EDT(-0400)] <esm> so the entire uportal distribution is packaged as a tomcat overlay?
[10:17:50 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> there would likely need to be a dist assembly as well
[10:18:01 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that included some documentation with the tomcat overlay
[10:18:36 EDT(-0400)] <esm> yeah
[10:19:05 EDT(-0400)] <esm> the tomcat overlay distribution would already be packaged with the webapps exploded
