[13:00:03 EDT(-0400)] <awills> I'm having trouble getting to JIRA – is this issue widespread/known?
[13:00:23 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> looks like I can't either
[13:00:25 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'll take a look
[13:05:09 EDT(-0400)] * athena7 (n=athena7@128.187.212.223) has joined ##uportal
[13:10:46 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> should be back
[13:12:54 EDT(-0400)] <awills> k thanks
[13:43:25 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> awills: any idea why I see a very large number of this message in my log when running the export:
[13:43:26 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> Unable to bind request attribute 'FlowAttributes.RETURN_VALUE' because it contains a period ('.'); do not create request attributes with periods in their names EXCEPT for Attributes-series entries.
[13:44:05 EDT(-0400)] <awills> yes, i know that one
[13:44:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> doing a test export of a prod snapshot right now
[13:44:52 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> portal.log is over 150MB already ...
[13:45:35 EDT(-0400)] <awills> RETURN_VALUE is actually on Attributes, but it was mistakenly given the string value 'FlowAttributes.RETURN_VALUE'... it should be cleared up in the latest SVN version, but perhaps something (like <return>) is using the old value
[13:46:38 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> latest SVN still has an Attributes.RETURN_VALUE="FlowAttributes.RETURN_VALUE"
[13:47:51 EDT(-0400)] <awills> http://uportal.pastebin.com/m9d15714
[13:48:00 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> on a good note, with those request attribute and xpath patches nearly all of the export time is now database query execution side
[13:48:07 EDT(-0400)] <awills> it's was fixed in my getCache() patch it seems
[13:48:42 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ah
[13:48:53 EDT(-0400)] <awills> if you want to take care of that i won't complain i still need to drop my version and update
[13:49:01 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I can do that
[15:18:57 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> anyone here done Shib with uPortal?

[16:23:40 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> eclipse can be such a PAIN sometimes

[16:28:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> lol
[16:56:47 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> apparently one of my projects got hosed
[16:57:00 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I deleted the project from the workspace folder and now eclipse is all happy again

[17:52:37 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> shawn bayern actually wrote CAS in nano
[17:52:43 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> speaking of editors
[17:58:21 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> EricDalquist: do you have any words of wisdom for working w/ spring ldap?
[17:59:05 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> um ... it's a lot nicer than plain Java LDAP?
[17:59:18 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> http://erics-notes.blogspot.com/2008/07/unit-testing-spring-ldap-code-with.html
[17:59:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> how to do in-memory unit tests for spring-ldap code
[17:59:37 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> oh thanks!
[17:59:42 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> that was about to be my next question
[17:59:48 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i thought i remembered something from you on that
[18:00:51 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> so we're thinking of building a general search portlet that would let one search LDAP for directory information
[18:01:36 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> like searching for people?
[18:01:44 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> or just 'general info'
[18:01:59 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> searching for people
[18:02:11 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that's built into 3.1
[18:02:17 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> awesome
[18:02:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> so is that an admin-only function?
[18:02:33 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> Person Directory 1.5 changes the API from looking up a single user
[18:02:42 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> to allowing dynamic searching
[18:02:47 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and there is a person-lookup flow
[18:02:53 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> used by the identity-swapper and attribute-swapper
[18:02:59 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> awesome
[18:03:03 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but that person-lookup flow could easily be re-used for any other UI
[18:03:28 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/Person+Lookup
[18:03:57 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> nice configurable UI for what attributes to display, how they are formatted for the user, etc
[18:04:08 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> then it just hooks into person directory for searching
[18:04:09 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> sounds promising
[18:04:23 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> http://uportal.pastebin.com/m1dad12a7
[18:04:40 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that is a person directory 1.5 config setup for searching two DB tables and an LDAP server
[18:05:06 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> what's the time frame looking like for 3.1?
[18:05:11 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> no idea
[18:05:20 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> someone needs to take a look at GAPs
[18:05:35 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> review it and its maven config as a stand-alone project
[18:05:48 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> then work on switching to it for the framework
[18:05:56 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> ah
[18:07:05 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> any chance any of that webflow / person directory type code could be reasonably reused in a portlet that's not part of uPortal 3.1?
[18:07:50 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that's a good question
[18:08:33 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> if you want a completely stand-alone portlet, yeah that could be pretty easy, pull in PD and copy of the flow XML with the few supporting classes
[18:08:58 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> if you want to use the uPortal PD configuration ... then its time to look at exposing the uPortal PD instance as a web service
[18:09:02 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> ok, that sounds like it might be worth trying
[18:09:10 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> hm, now that's interesting
[18:09:37 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> my guess is if you're ok with using spring on both sides the spring based http invoker stuff would be easy to use
