[10:35:53 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> michelled, anastasia: How's it going this morning?
[10:43:19 EDT(-0400)] <anastasia> good, colinclark. thanks for your comments on the uploader patch
[10:43:38 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> anastasia: No problem.
[10:43:51 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> Eli, Antranig and I are sitting here working on a new component.
[10:44:04 EDT(-0400)] <anastasia> we're going to commit the patch this morning
[10:44:11 EDT(-0400)] <anastasia> re new component - cool! what is it?
[10:45:00 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> anastasiac: The InlineEdit component. I had started in on in hopes of helping EricDalquist with his new Notepad Portlet.
[10:45:41 EDT(-0400)] <anastasia> right - I saw Clay mentioned it

[12:39:30 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> whats the mysql jdbc connector called?
[12:39:50 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> maybe jdbc-java haha
[12:39:52 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> never mind
[12:46:13 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> you find it?
[13:17:39 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> yah
[13:18:06 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> although the rdbm.properties is a bit ambiguous
[13:19:46 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> /root/tmp/uportal-impl/src/test/resources/properties/rdbm.properties
[13:19:46 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> /root/tmp/uportal-impl/src/main/resources/properties/rdbm.properties
[13:19:46 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> /root/tmp/uportal-impl/target/test-classes/properties/rdbm.properties
[13:19:46 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> /root/tmp/uportal-impl/target/classes/properties/rdbm.properties
[13:20:10 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> i assume that uportal-impl/src/main/resources/properties/rdbm.properties is the correct location but the docs dont match the format
[13:28:31 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> yes, main is where you'll need to edit. Test is for unit-testing/integration testing. Target is the built/compiled location.
[13:32:49 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> If your unfamiliar with the Maven 2 directory structure, this is a good read: http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html
[13:41:31 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> you're*
[13:42:22 EDT(-0400)] * colinclark (n=colin@12.20.36.2) has joined ##uportal
[13:45:50 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> btw what is maven? ant + curl == maven ?
[13:48:53 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> i have got to figure out how to do this manually
[13:51:32 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> I am unfamiliar with curl? Maven is a project management and build automation tool. It's extremely useful. I'd highly suggest it if you haven't used it before.
[13:56:20 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> I would have to look at the advantages over ant... Ant has always been good enough for me =)
[14:00:20 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> so where is the error, the wiki says jdbcDriver=xxx.xxxxxx.Driver the rdbm.props says hibernate.connection.driver_class=xxx.xxxxxx..Driver
[14:02:51 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> what wiki page are you referring too?
[14:02:59 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPM30/05+MSSQL+with+the+JTDS+JDBC+Driver
[14:04:58 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> never mind its a type on that page for the mssql databaes
[14:05:01 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> the mysql one is correct
[14:06:11 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> in the 2.x series I believe it is referred to as jdbcDriver in rdbm.properties, 3.0 rdmb.properties is hibernate.connection.driver_class
[14:06:28 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> ok makes sense
[14:06:43 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> I'm not sure what jdbcDriver they are referring to in build.properties cause I don't see that
[14:07:23 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPM30/03+MySQL+Configuration

[15:11:56 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[15:12:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> all the barcamp people
[15:12:45 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> at the conference
[15:12:58 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> ah cool, wish I could have gone
[15:13:03 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> (sad)
[15:13:27 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> everyone loved the weather portlet
[15:13:40 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> oh really? Thats great to hear.
[15:13:44 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> maybe you can swing getting to Madison in October for the unconference
[15:13:46 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[15:13:54 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I saw it for the first time here ... looks really good
[15:14:01 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> we need to create a jira project for it
[15:14:18 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> Ya, I still need to bug Andrew about that
[15:14:30 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> this pom business basically downloads all the deps yes?
[15:15:20 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> yes, among other things
[15:15:23 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the pom describes all of the projects dependencies
[15:15:32 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and the project structure and such
[15:15:45 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> maven uses that to get the dependencies and build/package and such
[15:15:56 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> so bascially its a poor mans package manger
[15:16:10 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> kind of
[15:16:32 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it is a build management tool ... I think thats the best one-line description I've heard so far
[15:16:47 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> where as ant is more of a scripting language
[15:17:00 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> yah im having issues getting it to work
[15:17:06 EDT(-0400)] * colinclark (n=colin@12.20.36.2) has joined ##uportal
[15:17:15 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> be back in an hour im hungry
[15:20:52 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> ok dstn you have a weather portlet jira project and you're the admin
[15:21:08 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> lol, well thank you
[15:21:14 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> let me know if you need the permissions or anything changed
[15:21:16 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> no problem (smile)
[15:21:19 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> ok sure
[15:22:34 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> Jen, its very green out there btw. And not as humid as I had expected but I hear the humidity is more during the summer months.
[15:23:06 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yeah it's more humid during the summer
[15:23:09 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> totally fine with AC
[15:23:15 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> can sometimes suck if you dont' have it
[15:23:22 EDT(-0400)] * Bina (n=Bina_Ree@12.20.36.2) has joined ##uportal
[15:23:28 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> but yeah i hated to leave this week (smile)
[15:23:40 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> all the cherry blossoms were out when i left - hope you enjoyed it!
[15:23:48 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> oh ya, definitely
[15:23:54 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> good (smile)
[15:23:55 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> I got back here and realized how brown and dry it is
[15:23:58 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> haha
[15:23:59 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yeah
[15:24:07 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> going home to phx for the summer was always quite a change

[16:23:40 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> Nice job on the notes portlet btw, that's gonna be very helpful to me for doing some ajax with the weather portlet.
[16:23:50 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> (smile)
[16:23:52 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> thanks
[16:23:59 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that JsonView for Spring MVC is really neat
[16:24:18 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> Ya, I don't think I would have come up with something that nice myself
[16:24:34 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> I haven't used it yet, but looks cool
[16:24:40 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> there is a bit more cleanup I want to do but I think we can just package the servlet, abstract ajax controller and sequence generation into a 'portlet-ajax-support' project
[16:24:58 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> then you could just use this .jar and have that base framework
[16:25:05 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> maybe I'll work on that
[16:25:24 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> I wonder if you should submit it to the spring portlet framework project
[16:25:31 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> that would be cool
[16:25:45 EDT(-0400)] <johnalewis> If you get it in really good shape, I'll take it to Juergen and see if he likes it for Spring 3.0... (wink)
[16:26:09 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> there ya go
[16:26:11 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> (smile)
[16:26:41 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> (smile)
[16:35:51 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> Do the libs that maven downloads packaged with the war or are they installed to the server?

[17:00:50 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> Do i need to create the table and the user ?
[17:00:53 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> how does this work
[17:01:03 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> huh?
[17:01:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> what are you working with?
[17:01:14 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> up3?
[17:01:53 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> sorry bit out of it over here
[17:02:52 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> Hey Eric, I am not very familiar with JIRA yet, how do I assign an issue to a person?
[17:04:48 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> you may not have permission to do so
[17:04:57 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> what project are you looking at?
[17:05:15 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> http://www.ja-sig.org/issues/browse/WPT
[17:05:33 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> The weather portlet one that Jen created for me
[17:06:15 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> try now
[17:06:24 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> you needed to be added to the developers group
[17:06:32 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> since that is considered a 'developer' action
[17:06:41 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> you should now be able to edit issues and such too
[17:06:55 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> k, let me try
[17:07:22 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> if you refresh the issue you should see an 'edit' link now
[17:07:23 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> sweet, works, thanks
[17:07:27 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yup
[17:11:00 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> Also, is it possible to add the weather portlet jira to the Portlets category. It looks like it currently in no category.
[17:11:15 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> sure
[17:11:18 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'll take a look
[17:11:23 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> thks
[17:12:37 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> all set
[17:12:44 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> yo3?
[17:12:47 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> up3?
[17:12:52 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> up3 = uportal 3
[17:12:58 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> ohh yah
[17:13:01 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> thanks Eric
[17:13:21 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPM30/05+Database
[17:13:25 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> then once you've done that
[17:13:32 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and updated build.properties to point to tomcat
[17:13:36 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> run 'ant initportal'
[17:13:54 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> did that and it didnt create the schema
[17:14:06 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> did the build fail?
[17:14:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> oh
[17:14:22 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> no
[17:14:31 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> i should probably rebuild from scratch though
[17:14:39 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> 'ant initportal' resulted in a BUILD SUCCESSFUL message?
[17:14:48 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but there are no tables in the database that rdbm.properties points to?
[17:14:50 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> dbtest fialed
[17:14:53 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> oh
[17:15:54 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> it looks like initportal is doing a rebuild
[17:16:11 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> well if dbtest fails
[17:16:16 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> initportal is going to fail
[17:18:07 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> is initportal going to create the schema and tables
[17:18:16 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yes
[17:18:25 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> well it will create the tables
[17:18:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it will not create the schema
[17:20:30 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> so i should create it manually
[17:20:35 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yes
[17:20:40 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the schema needs to exist
[17:20:52 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the tables and populating of them are taken care of by uPortal
[17:21:36 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> last question what permissions the user need
[17:22:19 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> they need to be able to drop,create and alter tables/indexes/keys
[17:24:46 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> mmmm
[17:24:52 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> anyone ever tested uportal with mysql ?
[17:25:19 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I know folks have gotten up3 working on mysql
[17:25:20 EDT(-0400)] <jensmh> Sun will pay good money to anyone who writes up a white paper around it...
[17:25:35 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> did you follow all of the mysql instructions in the manual?
[17:26:03 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> all except of the <db-type-mapping>because it already looked ok
[17:26:24 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> im getting a syntax error on a create table
[17:26:37 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> UP_CHAN_TYPE_MDATA
[17:26:58 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and does dbtest run successfully?
[17:30:05 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> mmm i guess <db-type-mapping>
[17:30:10 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> wasnt correct
[17:30:18 EDT(-0400)] * johnalewis (n=jlewis@12.20.36.2) has left ##uportal
[17:30:35 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> Eric, couple more things. Can you create 3 components, AJAX, General, & Interface, and a version 1.0.0, and add the URL http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/PLT/Weather+Portlet for the project when you get a sec? Thanks.
[17:34:06 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> sure
[17:34:15 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'll just add you as the project admin
[17:34:24 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> lol, ok
[17:34:51 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> I thought Jen said she did that...maybe I'm not seeing that functionality and its already enabled?
[17:41:59 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> hmmm ok, it seems to be working now.... is there a more effective way to get the correct information for <db-type-mapping>without running dbtest and looking for the error?
[17:42:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> nope
[17:42:33 EDT(-0400)] <KWhat_Work> one more observation, this thing appears to work correctly with ant 1.7
[17:47:16 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> there is a nasty bug in 1.7
[17:47:27 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> which results in a stack-overflow while running the build
[17:47:42 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that is why it fails fast if 1.7 is used
[17:47:49 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> once 1.7.1 is out you will be able to use that
[17:48:36 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> dstn: your the project admin
[17:48:41 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but you don't have admin permissions
[17:49:07 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> actually I'm heading out right now
