[10:57:49 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> in relation to some events stuff I'm working on

[10:59:03 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> with spring-sec will users "authenticated" on every new session?

[10:59:07 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> including guest users?

[11:00:40 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah but i think they wind up w/ an unauthenticated session

[11:00:44 CST(-0600)] <athena> using the anonymous auth stuff

[11:01:01 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> right

[11:01:14 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> so in the aggregation we need to track "event sessions"

[11:01:24 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> which contains the groups that the user the event was fired for is in

[11:01:45 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> what I would like is that a LoginEvent (might need to rename that) is fired for ALL users unauthed and authed

[11:02:02 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> just wondering if that was going to fit with your spring-sec work

[11:03:36 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah i think that sounds doable

[11:03:45 CST(-0600)] <athena> i think there might already be some eventing in there we can hook inot

[11:04:21 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> great

[11:19:02 CST(-0600)] <athena> here we go: http://static.springsource.org/spring-security/site/docs/3.0.x/apidocs/index.html

[11:19:13 CST(-0600)] <athena> so actually i think i got everything fixed up enough yesterday to create a branch

[11:19:31 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> oh neat

[11:19:51 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah

[11:19:59 CST(-0600)] <athena> have CAS login working

[11:20:09 CST(-0600)] <athena> and local login, though that's only with spring's default login page

[11:20:14 CST(-0600)] <athena> so outstanding stuff includes

[11:20:23 CST(-0600)] <athena> 1. login portlet that can work w/ the local login stuff

[11:20:31 CST(-0600)] <athena> 2. recreating all the impersonation stuff

[11:20:37 CST(-0600)] <athena> 3. CAS clearpass

[11:20:48 CST(-0600)] <athena> 4. Proxy CAS and making sure CAS tickets get into the userinfomap

[11:20:53 CST(-0600)] <athena> 5. getting passwords into the userinfo map

[11:20:58 CST(-0600)] <athena> and probably some other stuff

[11:21:07 CST(-0600)] <athena> so certainly not done, but maybe working enough to be interesting

[11:22:30 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> very interesting

[11:22:37 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah

[11:22:40 CST(-0600)] <athena> i mean, it does work

[11:22:43 CST(-0600)] <athena> reasonably clean

[11:22:52 CST(-0600)] <athena> not thrilled about the state of their documentation or their autowiring business

[11:23:01 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> :/

[11:23:05 CST(-0600)] <athena> and not thrilled that it seems the portal just silently fails to start up when things are misconfigured

[11:23:09 CST(-0600)] <athena> don't know what's going on there

[11:24:37 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> :/

[11:24:39 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> that is no fun

[11:24:41 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah

[11:25:13 CST(-0600)] <athena> seems like what crashes it is usually a mismatch between the expected bean properties and what's misconfigured in the spring file

[11:25:22 CST(-0600)] <athena> but don't understand why that doesn't seem to produce more stack traces

[11:25:37 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah

[12:00:10 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> so just discovered this: http://eggsylife.co.uk/2010/02/03/spring-annotation-based-aop-and-intercepting-the-ball/

[12:00:18 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> how to write a custom annotation

[12:00:25 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and associate an interceptor with it

[12:00:30 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> in ~ 30 minutes

[12:57:17 CST(-0600)] <athena> ooo

[12:57:25 CST(-0600)] <athena> that sounds aawesome

[12:57:38 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> just finished uit

[12:57:51 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> there will be a @RequestCache annotation

[12:58:03 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> methods annotated with it will cache their result in the attributes of the current request

[12:58:16 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and automatically re-use the cached result for the duration of the request

[12:58:35 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> Arvids had noticed that thigns like looking up the default tab nodeid ran for every url generation'

[12:58:44 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> even though that is the same for every urkl in the reuqest

[14:03:58 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> https://github.com/Jasig/uPortal/commit/68051fb9c9aa683f32d00a0fc8ac97fd900e8faa

[14:04:01 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> there we go

[14:05:33 CST(-0600)] <athena> oh nice

[14:05:41 CST(-0600)] <athena> is that the performance stuff he wanted to talk about before?

[14:05:54 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> well it is part of addressing it

[14:06:03 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> apparently xpath in the core JDK apis is terribly slow

[14:06:22 CST(-0600)] <athena> ah, interesting

[14:06:29 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> like 5-60ms to get the tabid for a random layout node id

[14:06:38 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and that would run every time a url was generated

[14:06:41 CST(-0600)] <athena> oh wow

[14:06:47 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah i guess that'd make a difference (smile)

[14:07:19 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> he got a huge boost by just navigating the DOM manually

[14:07:25 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> his patch just did it in the wrong place

[14:07:43 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> the other patch that helped a lot was not looking up portlet entities directly by user+layout+node

[14:07:51 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> instead getting all entities for user+layout

[14:07:59 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> then iterate on them comparing the nodes

[14:08:04 CST(-0600)] <athena> sounds like really good stuff

[14:08:06 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah

[14:08:16 CST(-0600)] <athena> really glad he's involved (smile)

[14:08:21 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> a lot of this stuff is a result of only being part way to hibernate/jpa

[14:08:30 CST(-0600)] <athena> ah, yeah

[14:08:39 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> if everything was actually part of our JPA model we could essentially load it all when the user logs in

[14:08:49 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> or load it in reasonable chunks

[14:09:01 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> getting users + layouts moved over will be huge for reducing DB io

[14:09:05 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah

[14:09:09 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> since then we can really have one object graph per user

[14:09:11 CST(-0600)] <athena> would love to get that work done

[14:09:18 CST(-0600)] <athena> maybe after stats?

[14:09:20 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and load the whole graph at login with a minimal number of calls

[14:09:21 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah

[14:09:24 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> after stats

[14:09:28 CST(-0600)] <athena> how's the stats stuff going, by the way?

[14:09:32 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and after I get 4.0 deployed here

[14:09:33 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> good

[14:09:40 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> the branch is making good progress

[14:09:48 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I just keep realizing more gotchas (tongue)

[14:09:50 CST(-0600)] <athena> lol

[14:09:55 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I had forgotten how complex that aggregator was

[14:10:01 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> its translating over just fine

[14:10:11 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> it is just A LOT of daos/entities

[14:10:23 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeahi 'm sure

[14:12:21 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> here is the work so far: https://github.com/edalquist/uPortal/compare/master...event-aggr

[14:14:16 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> most important stuff that you'll be interested in is:

[14:14:16 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> https://github.com/edalquist/uPortal/compare/master...event-aggr#diff-44

[14:14:16 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> https://github.com/edalquist/uPortal/compare/master...event-aggr#diff-42

[14:20:46 CST(-0600)] <athena> awesome (smile)

[14:21:05 CST(-0600)] <athena> i'll take a look

[14:21:57 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> the api is still going to change a little bit

[14:22:03 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> that is what I just realized

[14:22:07 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> but its getting closer

[14:22:39 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> the other thing I need to do (in addition to the term/quarter config) is allow configuration of what groups and intervals each aggregator sees

[14:22:57 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I have a feeling I'm just going to have to write an even aggregation admin flow :/

[14:25:46 CST(-0600)] <athena> ahhh

[14:25:47 CST(-0600)] <athena> hmm.

[14:25:52 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah
