[14:59:13 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so for http://www.ja-sig.org/issues/browse/UP-2565
[14:59:39 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it looks like the authn API throws generic AuthorizationException exception if you ask a question about a channel that doesn't exist
[15:00:01 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'm thinking I can just change ILFBuilder to handle that exception and return false
[15:00:12 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> or should I handle it in "AuthorizationImpl.canPrincipalSubscribe"
[15:00:19 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and just return false there instead of throwing
[16:25:24 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> AHHH
[16:25:30 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> static class initializers are EVIL
[16:27:49 EST(-0500)] * Guest54971 (n=D@171.210.98-84.rev.gaoland.net) has joined ##uportal
[16:27:53 EST(-0500)] * Guest54971 (n=D@171.210.98-84.rev.gaoland.net) has left ##uportal
[16:40:23 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> absolutely
[16:41:19 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> i've hated those for a long long long time. they are such a PITA to debug. them and classloader issues both suck, because they show up as mysterious "ClassNotFound" exceptions, which is so completely wrong.
[16:41:31 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yup
[16:41:51 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> in this case it is a static initializer that depends on the database eventually
[16:42:04 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so if there is aproblem when running it lots of things start failing in weird ways
[16:42:05 EST(-0500)] * holdorph shudders....
[17:08:47 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> athena: you'd be happy I just got caught by that svn hook script we put in
[17:09:51 EST(-0500)] <athena> lol
[17:09:57 EST(-0500)] <athena> i still need to fix those other files tonight
[17:10:02 EST(-0500)] <athena> but yes, that is completely awesome (tongue)
[17:10:04 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> didn't have a mime-type set
[17:10:12 EST(-0500)] <athena> ah
[17:10:15 EST(-0500)] <athena> that i can live w/o
[17:10:24 EST(-0500)] <athena> it's just the EOL stuff that really trips up my commits
[17:10:27 EST(-0500)] <athena> aright, i gotta run
[17:10:31 EST(-0500)] <athena> have a good night (smile)
[19:53:30 EST(-0500)] * KWhat_Work (n=abarker@abarker.callutheran.edu) has joined ##uportal
[19:53:46 EST(-0500)] <KWhat_Work> why cant jasig document anything completely ?
[19:55:53 EST(-0500)] <KWhat_Work> only docs for anything involving the Proxy Granting Ticket are all left over from yale, then jasig changed everything and guess what no docs on how the hell to get a proxy ticket
