[10:30:14 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> so joda-time is amazing

[10:41:09 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> Arvids: did you get my notes about the transactional annotation?

[10:41:27 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> also I'd really like to figure out if we can get the varchar(max) stuff working on sqlserver

[10:41:33 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> though I'm not even sure where tos tart there

[10:42:38 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> so joda-time is amazing athena

[10:54:30 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> DateTime.now().minus(this.aggregationDelay).secondOfMinute().roundFloorCopy()

[10:54:49 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> aggregationDelay is: aggregationDelay = Period.seconds(30)

[10:55:54 CST(-0600)] <athena> oooh.

[10:55:54 CST(-0600)] <athena> wow

[10:56:05 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah, i really need to get that into the calendar portlet

[10:56:10 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> .secondOfMinute().roundFloorCopy() truncates the returned values to the minute

[10:56:12 CST(-0600)] <athena> bet it would fix some of that awful logic

[10:56:16 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> so seconds and millis are set to 0

[10:56:18 CST(-0600)] <athena> nice!

[10:56:22 CST(-0600)] <athena> no more manual crap1

[10:56:25 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah

[10:56:35 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> this simplified SO MUCH of the stats code

[10:56:46 CST(-0600)] <athena> nice!

[10:58:01 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and the great thing is if aggregationDelay was something like Period.days(1);

[10:58:15 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> doing the minus automatically handles DST and all the other stuff

[10:58:20 CST(-0600)] <athena> nice

[10:58:21 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah

[10:58:34 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> since the Period is tracked as "1 day" with no concept of an actual duration in millis

[10:58:46 CST(-0600)] <athena> that's awesome

[10:58:55 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> until it is applied to an object that has some concept of the millis timeline

[10:59:53 CST(-0600)] <athena> sounds like a really good library

[10:59:59 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah

[11:00:06 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> jsr-310 is supposedly even better

[11:00:15 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> just have to wait for it

[11:00:26 CST(-0600)] <athena> waiting! boo!

[11:01:15 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist>

[11:01:29 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> also it looks like spring supports jodatime

[11:01:41 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> so you can use it in the mvc layer for parameter types

[11:02:11 CST(-0600)] <athena> oh wow, really!?

[11:02:13 CST(-0600)] <athena> that's awesome

[11:26:00 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> glad we didn't use wurfl: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/01/09/169216/wurfl-founders-fire-off-dmca-takedown-against-fork

[11:30:45 CST(-0600)] <athena> ugh

[11:30:46 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah.

[11:31:18 CST(-0600)] <athena> i'm not even sure how we'd use it with a restrictive license?

[11:31:26 CST(-0600)] <athena> paritcularly since their database isn't actually like, good.

[11:31:59 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah

[11:33:42 CST(-0600)] <athena> ironically liferay just announced their new version, advertising that it's now using WURFL

[11:33:56 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> heh

[12:23:25 CST(-0600)] <dd> hello

[12:24:54 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> hi

[12:25:17 CST(-0600)] <dd> i am starting out with a clean install of uportal

[12:25:39 CST(-0600)] <dd> i am trying to get it to remove the cas bundled dependency

[12:25:52 CST(-0600)] <dd> following step3 here: https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPM32/CAS

[12:26:22 CST(-0600)] <dd> but when i go to run ant initportal, it says it is missing artifacts

[12:26:23 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> ok

[12:26:23 CST(-0600)]

[12:26:28 CST(-0600)]

[12:26:49 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> can you use pastebin and paste the last ~ 30 lines of your build output

[12:26:56 CST(-0600)] <dd> sure, one sec

[12:27:40 CST(-0600)] <dd> http://pastebin.com/wgpsParE

[12:30:32 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> weird

[12:30:37 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> looks like it is trying to build the cas overlay

[12:30:50 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> oh ... heh I think the ant stuff is doing that

[12:31:03 CST(-0600)] <dd> any way to stop it?

[12:31:05 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> just rm -Rf the cas directory under overlays

[12:31:39 CST(-0600)] <dd> ok

[12:31:45 CST(-0600)] <dd> do i need the cas-proxy-test-portlet?

[12:31:49 CST(-0600)] <dd> i had that commented out too

[12:32:26 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> no

[12:32:35 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> you can comment that out as well

[14:56:36 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> getting closer on aggregation ...

[14:56:56 CST(-0600)] <athena> ooo

[14:57:01 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> just testing the interval handling now

[14:57:06 CST(-0600)] <athena> yay!

[14:57:35 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yay lock recovery works!

[14:57:35 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> WARN [uPortal-LockExecutor-4] Jan/09 14:56:32,197 locking.JpaClusterLockDao.[] - Unlocking abandoned ClusterMutex [id=2, name=org.jasig.portal.events.aggr.PortalEventAggregationManagerImpl.AGGREGATION_LOCK, locked=true, serverId=bohemia, lockStart=2012-01-09 14:50:44.721, lastUpdate=2012-01-09 14:50:58.835, lockEnd=2012-01-09 14:50:00.193]

[15:00:49 CST(-0600)] <athena> ooo

[15:01:17 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah, we have have a service that lets you run things exclusively on one machine in one thread

[15:01:38 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and it recovers automatically if a jvm dies, thread dies, etc

[15:01:52 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> kinda needed it for the aggregation stuff

[15:02:10 CST(-0600)] <athena> makes sense
