[10:37:56 EST(-0500)] <athena7> EricDalquist: don't we have some code somewhere that knows how to get a servlet request from a portlet request?
[10:38:18 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[10:38:25 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> IPortalRequestUtils
[10:38:35 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> inject an instance of that from the app context
[10:38:57 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> the bean is named portalRequestUtils
[10:39:00 EST(-0500)] <athena7> thanks
[10:39:03 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yup
[10:39:12 EST(-0500)] * colinclark (n=colin@12.107.86.135) has joined ##uportal
[10:39:18 EST(-0500)] <athena7> trying to get the servlet request from the spring webflow, ugh
[10:39:45 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ah
[10:39:46 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[10:39:53 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> easy with that interface
[10:40:11 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yeah
[10:59:54 EST(-0500)] <athena7> how's the rc looking?
[11:06:39 EST(-0500)] * colinclark (n=colin@12.107.86.135) has joined ##uportal
[11:25:39 EST(-0500)] <dstn> I have a potential improvement suggestion for the build.xml in uP3
[11:25:59 EST(-0500)] <dstn> in db-import, add inheritAll="true" to the antcall to crn-import
[11:26:14 EST(-0500)] <dstn> this would allow ant initdb -Ddir=/path/to/export-data
[11:26:29 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that sounds good dstn
[11:26:37 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'm, debugging some build.xml stuff on windows right now
[11:26:40 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so I can add that in
[11:26:46 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> athena7: the RC is coming along
[11:26:48 EST(-0500)] <dstn> k, cool
[11:26:53 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> bashing my head against ant on windows
[11:26:56 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and windows file locking
[11:26:58 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> UHG
[11:27:03 EST(-0500)] <athena7> ick
[11:44:17 EST(-0500)] <awills> dstn: I'd like to add a property 'entities.location' to build.properties... the default would be uportal-impl/src/main/resources/properties/db/entities
[11:44:42 EST(-0500)] <awills> but you could change it (or pass as -D parameter) to specify a different location
[11:48:29 EST(-0500)] <dstn> k, that sounds better
[11:57:41 EST(-0500)] * lennard1 (n=sparhk@uni1.unicon.net) has joined ##uportal
[12:10:11 EST(-0500)] * ChanServ (ChanServ@services.) has joined ##uportal
[12:18:09 EST(-0500)] * michelled (n=michelle@CPE001310472ade-CM0011aefd3ca8.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has joined ##uportal
[12:33:18 EST(-0500)] <athena7> by the way, i added a few fluid demos to that javascript demo channel
[12:47:45 EST(-0500)] * apetro (n=apetro@wsip-98-174-242-39.ph.ph.cox.net) has joined ##uportal
[12:55:43 EST(-0500)] <awills> nice athena7
[13:00:31 EST(-0500)] <athena7> there are demos of most of the jquery effects and widgets too
[13:00:42 EST(-0500)] <athena7> hopefully we can continue to expand those
[13:00:54 EST(-0500)] <athena7> need more shiny things in the layout - would be nice to drop that somewhere in the default layout
[13:01:56 EST(-0500)] <awills> yes we should... admin makes sense, i suppose, should we also create a "dev" layout maybe?
[13:02:48 EST(-0500)] <awills> it would probably end up almost identicaal to the admin
[13:16:08 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yeah, i think admin does make sense
[13:16:25 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> layout reviews would be great
[13:16:28 EST(-0500)] <athena7> but it'd also be kind of a nice to have it in a less dev-focused layout to just show some of uportal's potential
[13:16:33 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yeah eric i think you're right
[13:16:38 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that can easily be a post RC pre GA task
[13:16:43 EST(-0500)] <athena7> and we still need to either get those rss feeds working or remove the channels
[13:16:45 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yeah
[13:16:53 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> move to almost completely DLM based layouts
[13:17:08 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> have the personal parts of layouts be obvious (like the admin tab should not be a PLF)
[13:17:17 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> since most places have multiple administrators
[13:18:44 EST(-0500)] <athena7> sounds good to me
[13:26:32 EST(-0500)] * colinclark (n=colin@12.107.86.135) has joined ##uportal
[13:38:59 EST(-0500)] * tsnfoo (n=tsnfoo@140.141.213.244) has joined ##uportal
[13:45:13 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> trying to debug this ant stuff in a windows VM doesn't make it any easier (tongue)
[13:47:28 EST(-0500)] <athena7> oh that sounds painful :/
[13:49:07 EST(-0500)] <athena7> does it just not have permissions to delete that directory?
[13:50:31 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so I think it is an issue with windows file locking
[13:50:40 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so if a process has any file in a directory open{color}
[13:50:47 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> windows won't let you delete the directory
[13:51:04 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I had written this 'fast war deploy' task so that redeploying portlets and uportal in tomcat would work better
[13:51:28 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it unwars to a temp dir
[13:51:36 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> then does a very fast (on *nix at least)
[13:51:42 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> rm webapps/appname
[13:51:49 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> mv temp/appname webapps/appname
[13:52:10 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> otherwise tomcat could start to redeploy a webapp while it was in the process of being unwarred
[13:52:15 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> which caused all sorts of pain
[13:52:22 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I may just revert to the old way for windows
[13:55:04 EST(-0500)] <athena7> ah
[14:41:32 EST(-0500)] * tsnfoo_ (n=tsnfoo@wso-mbp15.test.denison.edu) has joined ##uportal

[14:55:06 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> dstn: has UP-2221 been applied anywhere yet?
[14:55:21 EST(-0500)] <dstn> no, not yet
[14:55:33 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> think you could apply it in the next 2-3 hours?
[14:55:56 EST(-0500)] <dstn> sure
[14:56:07 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> great, please do then
[14:56:37 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oh and:
[14:56:54 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> From Chuck:
[14:56:55 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> Jasig news:  http://jasig.org/jasig-news/feed
[14:56:55 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> uPortal news: http://jasig.org/uportal-news/feed
[14:56:55 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> CAS news: http://jasig.org/cas-news/feed
[14:56:55 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> uPortal deployments:  http://jasig.org/uportal/deployments/feed
[15:03:50 EST(-0500)] <athena7> thanks eric!
[15:04:18 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i'll go in and update those channels
[15:08:39 EST(-0500)] * dstn eclipse hates me
[15:14:47 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> i'm pretty sure the m2eclipse plugin hates me, if that's any consolation
[15:15:39 EST(-0500)] <dstn> lol
[15:16:04 EST(-0500)] <dstn> EricDalquist: on the spaces thing with uPortal, does 3 space = tab?
[15:16:10 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> 4
[15:16:23 EST(-0500)] <dstn> 3+1, gotcha
[15:16:26 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I think there are uportal style guidelines somwhere on the wiki
[15:16:33 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'll have to go dig for those some time
[15:21:23 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> there are now HTTP 301 redirects from the old feed URLs too
[15:22:03 EST(-0500)] <athena7> excellent
[15:22:52 EST(-0500)] <athena7> let me just test these chan files and i'll check in the changes
[15:40:24 EST(-0500)] <athena7> ok, those feeds are up to date
[15:40:34 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i also took the opportunity to change the feed name to "Jasig"
[15:40:46 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> great
[15:48:10 EST(-0500)] <athena7> maybe i can find some time to update one of our devel instances w/ the new rc or something
[15:48:28 EST(-0500)] <athena7> always kind of nice to test stuff on a server that isn't localhost/hsql/nonssl
[15:48:33 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[15:54:11 EST(-0500)] <dstn> So I've applied my changes for UP-2221 locally but I don't have a up3 database to export against
[15:54:28 EST(-0500)] <dstn> I tried our up2 database but am getting some errors
[15:56:05 EST(-0500)] <dstn> fails on PORTAL_CONTEXT.getBean('portletDefinitionRegistry').getPortletDefinition(CHAN_ID.intValue())
[15:56:19 EST(-0500)] <dstn> with an eventual java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
[15:56:58 EST(-0500)] <dstn> so if someone wants to try it against a up3 database, I'll create a new patch file
[15:57:14 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> sure
[15:57:17 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> create a new patch file
[15:57:41 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and as expected import/export scripts only work against the database for the version of uPortal with which they are packaged
[16:02:39 EST(-0500)] <dstn> ok, its attached on the issue (UP-2221.txt) http://www.ja-sig.org/issues/browse/UP-2221
[16:02:51 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> great, thanks dstn
[16:02:56 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'll give it a try in a few minutes
[16:03:04 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I just got the windows build.xml thing fixed
[16:03:21 EST(-0500)] <dstn> k, no guarntees it works since I made it against rel-2.6-patches but it should...
[16:03:38 EST(-0500)] <dstn> but the patch is against the trunk
[16:04:13 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> sounds good
[16:54:33 EST(-0500)] * anastasiac (n=stasia@142.150.154.189) has left ##uportal
[17:05:52 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> what do folks feel about enabling Tomcat6 JSP precompilation for uPortal 3.1
[17:06:07 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'm thinking about doing it in a maven profile that is enabled by default
[17:25:20 EST(-0500)] * apetro- (n=apetro@12.164.139.7) has joined ##uportal
[17:28:49 EST(-0500)] <awills> Eric I don't know of any issue with that
[17:32:06 EST(-0500)] * athena7 doesn't have an issue with it
[17:32:15 EST(-0500)] <athena7> as long as we document how to turn it off
[17:40:27 EST(-0500)] <athena7> wait a minute
[17:40:29 EST(-0500)] <athena7> it's after 5
[17:40:32 EST(-0500)] <athena7> where did the day go?
[17:40:38 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> lol
[17:40:58 EST(-0500)] <athena7> apparently i need an alarm clock to tell me to stop working
[17:41:03 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> (smile)
[17:41:26 EST(-0500)] <athena7> it's so novel for it to not be pitch black at 5pm
