[11:26:24 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> Anyone her using UBC Webmail?
[11:26:28 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> here
[11:27:06 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> not us
[11:27:11 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> nope
[11:28:01 EDT(-0400)] <apetro_LD830_ubu> A variant of UBC_Webmail was included in Academus, so I have some experience supporting and modifying it. What's up?
[11:28:08 EDT(-0400)] <apetro_LD830_ubu> http://www.unicon.net/academus for context

[14:46:27 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yay! with the JAXP option for pluto 1.1.5 we don't need the xerces and xmlApis jars in tomcat/shared/lib
[15:04:36 EDT(-0400)] <apetro_LD830_ubu> that's downright shiny.
[15:05:28 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so we're down to 3 pluto jars, castor, portlet-api, commons-logging-api and person-directory-api in shared/lib
[15:05:56 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> 4 pluto jars actually
[15:06:18 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but getting those XML jars out of there will be a big plus
[15:06:24 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that can be such a headache
[15:07:24 EDT(-0400)] <apetro_LD830_ubu> certainly an improvement
[15:07:47 EDT(-0400)] <apetro_LD830_ubu> we really need castor, he asked, recalling pain with castor back in days of fighting with WSRP...
[15:07:58 EDT(-0400)] <apetro_LD830_ubu> "
[15:08:03 EDT(-0400)] <apetro_LD830_ubu> ?, rather
[15:08:09 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> unfortunately the pluto-descriptor-impl depends on it
[15:08:39 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I've talked with pluto folks about providing it through some SPI that the portal provides and they sound interested but it would likely be up to us to do that work
[15:09:18 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and it complicates pluto's lifecycle since there is no assurance that the portal webapp will be loaded before portlet webapps which would cause problems if the container had no way to parse the portlet.xml and web.xml files
[15:09:56 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> hopefully 286 will be 'better' I think it is using JAXB for the xml parsing ... which I have no experience with
