[13:54:28 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> cwaymire: https://issues.jasig.org/browse/UP-3661

[13:54:35 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that was merged as a pull

[13:54:41 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but never merged back into 4-0

[13:58:07 CDT(-0500)] <cwaymire> EricDalquist: ok. i'll take care of it

[13:58:12 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> thanks

[14:53:47 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> EricDalquist – are we ready to update the manual and list JDK7 as supported?

[14:53:54 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> it still says JDK6 only

[14:53:59 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oh yeah

[14:54:02 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that should be updated

[14:54:06 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> I can do it I think

[14:54:12 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> tomcat 7 and jdk 7 are both supported for 4.0.11

[14:54:35 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> yep – i've been using them actually

[14:54:43 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> not everywhere, but commonly

[14:56:43 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> 4.0.11 fixed a TC7 issue with the config mode ui

[14:56:48 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but I think we are all good there now

[14:58:33 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> and Tomcat 7 is JDK7 only? or no?

[15:00:12 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> no it can run on jdk6

[15:00:18 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> also it has a wonderful new feature

[15:00:49 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/host.html

[15:00:54 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> go look at startStopThreads

[15:02:01 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> oh my – that sounds speedy

[15:02:13 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yes

[15:02:15 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it is

[15:02:22 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> we'll be rolling out TC7 next month

[15:02:26 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and are looking forward to it

[15:03:04 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> looking at the tomcat page... shouldn't "tar -xvf apache-tomcat-6.0.26.tar.gz" be "tar -zxvf apache-tomcat-6.0.26.tar.gz"?

[15:03:11 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> i thought a -z was needed

[15:04:50 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oh yeah

[15:04:55 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that should probably get fixed

[15:05:41 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> done

[15:13:23 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> ok, all updated

[15:13:30 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> thanks drewwills

[15:19:45 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> does uP use c3p0?

[15:19:49 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> no

[15:19:56 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> didn't think so

[15:19:57 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> we switched to tomcat 7's JDBC pool

[15:20:06 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it is fairly new

[15:20:09 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> yeah, that rings a bell

[15:20:12 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but an in spirit DBCP replacement

[15:20:22 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that uses the JDK6+ concurrency APIs

[15:20:25 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> i'm seeing this: https://gist.github.com/drewwills/5257635

[15:20:27 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and has MUCH nicer config

[15:20:33 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> with jtds 1.3 and jdk7

[15:20:41 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> jtds is jsut evil (tongue)

[15:21:00 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> found this page, which describes a really similar error: https://github.com/swaldman/c3p0/issues/5

[15:21:09 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> but it says the issue is older c3p0

[15:21:59 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> http://sourceforge.net/p/jtds/discussion/104389/thread/f709d990

[15:22:04 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it is just that driver

[15:22:15 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> honestly we need someone who uses mssql

[15:22:20 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> to update the manual

[15:22:25 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> with how to use the MS JDBC driver

[15:22:36 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> jtds is apparently not keeping up with the JDBC APIs

[15:23:16 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> no kidding

[15:23:37 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> reached the bottom of the page... they seemed to have it well-diagnosed
