[13:40:51 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills1> I'm involved in developing a set of portlets that really need the PersonDirectory API
[13:41:14 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills1> it would be awesome to pick up the IPersonAttributeDao configured for uPortal
[13:41:19 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills1> and just use it
[13:41:39 CDT(-0500)] <athena> yeah, that sounds like a reasonable use case
[13:41:54 CDT(-0500)] <athena> we've also talked about wanting to use groups/permissions information from the portal
[13:42:10 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills1> http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.1.1.RELEASE/javadoc-api/org/springframework/jndi/JndiTemplate.html
[13:42:24 CDT(-0500)] <athena> the other strategy we've talked about is creating a library that wraps calls to uPortal's REST servcies
[13:42:26 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills1> looks like there's a method for bind()
[13:42:57 CDT(-0500)] <athena> and if you have a webapp that's part of the portal, you don't have to worry about the session issues, so that might be pretty feasible to use REST
[14:22:59 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> Would someone have a few minutes to look at a problem with importing a fragment definition for a PAGS group?
[14:23:43 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> The group is defined in PAGS and shows up in the hierarchy, but data-import says:
[14:23:55 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> Group with name 'Brown Hall (PAGS)' not found for org.jasig.portal.layout.dlm.providers.GroupMembershipEvaluator. All evaluations will return false.
[14:26:00 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> I can post logs, fragment definition and appropriate piece of PAGSGroupStoreConfig.xml if someone wants to take a look
[14:26:09 CDT(-0500)] <JoeMoore> to pastebin
