...
[10:23:16 CST(-0600)] <Arvids> thinking about the possible causes... but I have no other ideas that Eric haven't mentioned already
[10:24:48 CST(-0600)] <dd__> yeah, it's on the dev instance right now so if i have to i can install everything from scratch again. but i'd like to know the reason incase it comes up again
[10:25:29 CST(-0600)] <Arvids> have you tried to inspect tomcat state using JConsole?
[10:26:00 CST(-0600)] <Arvids> it does show all the configured chaches
[10:26:33 CST(-0600)] <dd__> no, never used the tool before. is it easy to get setup?
[10:26:43 CST(-0600)] <Arvids> it is trivial on local machine
[10:26:46 CST(-0600)] <Arvids> start up tomcat
[10:26:56 CST(-0600)] <Arvids> and then run "jconsole" from command line
[10:27:08 CST(-0600)] <Arvids> it will open GUI and choose the process you want to monitor
[10:27:27 CST(-0600)] <Arvids> switch to "MBeans" tab and you can then overview all exposed MBeans
[10:27:41 CST(-0600)] <Arvids> there's "net.sf.cache" directory available
[10:28:50 CST(-0600)] <Arvids> at least if ResourceServingWebapp crashes and you see a cache named "ResourceServer.cacheManager", then there's point in looking into other web applications
[10:29:33 CST(-0600)] <dd__> sounds good
[10:29:46 CST(-0600)] <dd__> gotta go, thank you for your suggestions
[10:30:00 CST(-0600)] <Arvids> you're welcome
[10:30:05 CST(-0600)] <Arvids> gotta go home, too 
[12:14:09 CST(-0600)] <dd___> hello again
[12:14:16 CST(-0600)] <dd___> question about WebProxy portlet
[14:27:46 CST(-0600)] <dd__> hello
[14:28:18 CST(-0600)] <dd__> have a question about WebProxy portlet in reference to the docs here: https://wiki.jasig.org/display/PLT/WebProxy+Portlet+Installation+and+Configuration
[14:28:55 CST(-0600)] <dd__> i have it setup to authenticate with cas proxy tickets and now i'm interested in this line from the docs: "Authenticated Webproxy also provides a mechanism for passing user-specific information to the back-end application."
[14:29:13 CST(-0600)] <dd__> specifically the mechanism they are talking about
