[14:31:05 EDT(-0400)] <awills> oh my goodness there are people other than eric here!
[14:31:17 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yup
[14:31:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> we were up to 8 or so a few days ago
[14:32:17 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so yay for airport wireless
[14:32:23 EDT(-0400)] <awills> does any helpful soul know how to get the value of PortletRequest.isUserInRole() in a jsp w/o using scriptlets?
[14:33:31 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> unfortunatly I'm not seeing a direct way of doing that
[14:33:52 EDT(-0400)] <apetro_work_desk> Nope. I'm a huge fan of the Acegi authz tags, though, so I would enthusiastically suggest getting to use those for that use case instead
[14:33:59 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> using JSTL1.1 it is pretty easy to write static functions so writing a function that could do:
[14:34:25 EDT(-0400)]

[14:34:35 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> or use acegi
[14:34:53 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> have you ever used acegi with portlets apetro_work_desk ?
[14:35:20 EDT(-0400)] <awills> would i need to author a TLD for that function approach? ... and, can I use acegi if the portal isn't?
[14:36:46 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yes you would need to write a TLD
[14:36:59 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> if the portlet is in its own webapp I wouldn't see an acegi issue
[14:37:03 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> http://developer.ja-sig.org/source/browse/~raw,r=41884/jasigsvn/portlets/BookmarksPortlet/trunk/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/tags/uwfn.tld
[14:37:08 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> example tld from the bookmarks portlet
[14:39:56 EDT(-0400)] <apetro_work_desk> EricDalquist no I'd never written a portlet until last week or so
[14:40:09 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> crazy
[14:40:49 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> btw, I actually started on working with the Fluid folks on getting the reorderer in to uPortal
[14:41:16 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> this would replace the client side JS that Jen had put together providing both mouse and keyboard accessibility
[14:42:06 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Reorderer+in+uPortal
[16:08:40 EDT(-0400)] <awills> ok... back from lunch, have the function approach implemented... but I'm not sure the feature is working in uPortal... anyone know the status of support for isUserInRole? i don't see any JIRAs yay or nay
[16:08:58 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I thought it was working but I'm not positive
[16:09:28 EDT(-0400)] <awills> i'll just browse the code for a bit, take a look
[16:09:56 EDT(-0400)] <awills> I'm assuming any GaP group = a role for uPortal?
[16:10:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> not sure
