[12:48:18 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> weird
[12:48:39 CST(-0600)] <Arvids> i really like the way github works - i assume that could be the right place where to look
[12:48:51 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[12:49:08 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I'm loving using git for our vendor branch
[12:57:24 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> ahh ... have to switch hsqldb to mvcc
[14:24:02 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yay ... starting hsql in mvcc mode makes it all happy
[15:20:54 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> Hi guys
[15:20:59 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> I have a question about the portlet channel
[15:21:08 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> hi
[15:21:10 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> for JSR 168 spring portlets
[15:22:15 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> There is a parameter 'portletApplicationId', and my question is: Should it match the name of the .war file? Or should it be the artifact ID? We're using a Maven multi module portlet, as well... so if it matches the artifact ID, should it be the parent, the core, or the app (which contains the .war target)?
[15:22:56 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> it is the webapp name as it is deployed in tomcat
[15:23:12 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> that is used to do the cross-context lookup of the portlet webapp
[15:24:31 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> hm. So I could look into tomcat after it is deployed to find out? Would it be a folder name?
[15:24:39 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[15:24:45 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> cool. thank you!
[15:24:57 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> unless you did something special it would be the WebAppName bit of WebAppName.war
[15:25:05 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> sweet
[15:25:20 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> what version of uPortal are you using?
[15:30:00 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> Hm, I'm not certain. I think 2?
[15:30:05 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> Not the newest version
[15:30:11 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist>
[15:32:04 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> Is there a spot I can check in my apache folder to find that?
[15:32:17 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> 3 is the newest version of uPortal, right?
[15:32:28 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> 4.0.3 is the latest release
[15:32:48 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> not sure what the best way to check the version is in a deployed uPortal
[15:32:49 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> Oh, maybe it's 3, then
[15:32:54 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> its changed from version to version
[15:33:13 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> Cool. I'm logged into a local version of it, and it says '3.1.1' at the bottom of the screen. So I guess it's 3
[15:35:24 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> that would be 3.1.1
[15:35:36 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> cool
[15:35:41 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> oh, right
[15:35:42 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> yes
[15:35:43 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> lol
[15:36:11 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> I have another question about the channel: What is the difference between the 'fname' and the 'name'? (as XML tags)
[15:36:44 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> fname is a unique, url safe name used for easier direct access to a channel
[15:36:57 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> name is what the administrator sees in the admin UIs
[15:36:59 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> title is what the end user sees
[15:37:05 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> so you might have:
[15:37:15 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> title: Payroll Information
[15:37:24 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> name: Payroll Information - Students
[15:37:33 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> fname: payroll_info_students
[15:37:57 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and then a different channel with "- Staff" and "_staff"
[15:38:10 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> Oh, cool. Thanks!
[16:00:00 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> Ok, I'm still having difficulties getting it to run... so, in WEBINF, what are the mandatory files? I have a 'Dashboard-portlet.xml', 'applicationContext.xml', 'log4j.xml', 'portlet.xml' and 'web.xml'
[16:00:18 CST(-0600)] <Sam4242> I think I must have one of the XML parameters incorrect somewhere
