[10:19:33 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> athena7: you were looking into multiple-profile support right?
[10:20:02 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> not really - more just lamenting that it wasn't supported in the import/export
[10:20:07 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ah
[10:20:23 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so in going through the import scripts this mornign trying to find all the int issues
[10:20:26 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I was looking at that
[10:20:28 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> ah
[10:20:30 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> cool (smile)
[10:20:41 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm not sure I even understand looking at the data model the interrelation of everything
[10:20:50 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> from what I understand:
[10:20:56 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> a user can have N profiles
[10:21:10 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> a profile points to a structure xsl, theme xsl and layout
[10:21:22 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> multiple profiles can point to the same layout
[10:21:38 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> layouts have structure attributes which are scoped to a particular profile
[10:22:03 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> does that all sound right?
[10:25:30 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yes, i think so
[10:25:34 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i'm not sure i understand it all either
[10:25:46 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so if that is the case there is a fair bit of refactoring needed in the scripts
[10:25:55 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> profiles would need to be broken out into their own files
[10:26:00 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> (sad)
[10:26:09 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and we would need to come up with unique identifiers for both profiles and layouts
[10:26:16 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> be nice if we could just nest them sigh
[10:26:20 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> we could
[10:26:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but that will add a restriction
[10:26:35 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> well
[10:26:36 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> hrm
[10:27:01 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I suppose a .layout could just include all of the profiles that point to it
[10:27:35 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> then we just need a way, in that .layout to reference a specific <profile> entry from a <structure-attribute>
[10:27:41 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i guess we really need to also add the user agent mappings, which point to the profiles
[10:27:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that's still a bit of work
[10:27:48 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[10:27:54 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> those are completely ignored right now
[10:28:10 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it sucks not having FKs in the non-hibernate managed tables right now
[10:28:17 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> makes it really hard to decypher the tables
[10:28:36 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> we could add them with the new dbloader but I'd be supprised if the code does inserts/updates/deletes in the right order to deal with them
[10:28:50 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> oh and I just committed a batch of fixes for the import scripts in trunk
[10:28:59 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I think I found all of those numeric sql type issues
[10:29:45 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> oh yay (smile)
[10:30:27 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the scripts still need work
[10:30:47 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> like importing 2.6 data may not work in trunk right now
[10:30:58 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm planning on working on that tomorrow afternoon
[10:31:01 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> as well as the export scripts
[10:32:07 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> ok
[10:32:23 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'll keep the profile stuff in mind too
[10:34:17 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> that'd be great
[10:34:58 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ok and it looks like the UP_USER_UA_MAP does the user agent to profile mapping?
[10:36:39 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so that .... hrm
[10:36:47 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yes
[10:36:49 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that could get dumped as part of the <profile> entries in a layout
[10:37:01 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I just want to try and group this data into useful chunks
[10:37:11 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> like that is why we moved profile into layout for 3.0
[10:37:21 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> since you can have a user without a profile or layout
[10:37:30 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but you need a layout for a profile
[10:37:40 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and the UA mapping would be the same
[10:37:45 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> useless without the profile
[10:37:54 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> right
[10:38:04 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> and we don't really want it to be torturous for people to create new users
[10:38:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[10:38:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ok, I think that all makes sense
[10:40:01 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> by the way eric, have you gotten the os x java update?
[10:40:09 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> it doesn't seem to be friendly with cernunnos
[10:40:26 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the JDK6 update?
[10:40:37 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> no, that was last spring right?
[10:40:45 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> actually i wonder whether it undid whatever we did to fix that
[10:40:47 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[10:40:48 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> http://erics-notes.blogspot.com/2008/06/apples-jdk6-broke-my-scripting.html
[10:40:50 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> probably
[10:40:57 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yeah, probably the sam ething
[10:41:06 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> noticed the fragment portlet died
[10:41:07 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> probably stuck that jdk6 compiled jar back in a global folder

[13:58:45 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i just dragged and dropped the google portlet and it didn't destroy my browser
[13:58:49 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> three cheers for fluid
[13:58:49 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> !
[13:58:58 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yay!
[13:59:18 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yes!
[13:59:29 EDT(-0400)] <lennar1> (smile)
[13:59:30 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so initportal worked for you?
[14:00:39 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> are you asking me?
[14:00:53 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[14:01:07 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> did the latest updates to the imports I did this morning fix the postgres initportal work?
[14:01:37 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> haven't had time to try yet (sad)
[14:01:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ah ok
[14:01:53 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> been working with fluid
[14:01:53 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> didn't know if you needed to do that for that fluid test
[14:01:56 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that's why I asked (smile)
[14:02:00 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> ah, thanks (smile)
[14:02:07 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i switched mine over to hsql once that was working
[14:02:11 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i just needed up to start up
[14:02:20 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> database implementation less important
[14:02:30 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> though for my personal development i'll be very glad to have psql back
[14:51:20 EDT(-0400)] * EricDalquist (n=dalquist@bohemia.doit.wisc.edu) has joined ##uportal
[15:10:29 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> EricDalquist: is there somewhere in svn where there's an example of the spring ldap testing you did? (http://erics-notes.blogspot.com/2008/07/unit-testing-spring-ldap-code-with.html)
[15:10:48 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the latest person directory project code
[15:11:12 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> oh ok, maybe i'm just not up to date
[15:11:56 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yup, guess so
[15:13:16 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> that's some really cool stuff (smile)
[15:13:33 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i noticed the old version of the test relied on susan never retiring from yale
[15:13:39 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[15:13:46 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> this is a little more robust (wink)
[15:15:05 EDT(-0400)] * chrisdoyle (n=chrisdoy@mtw160-1.ippl.jhu.edu) has left ##uportal

[15:27:49 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> what creates the ldap template for those tests?
[15:27:56 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> there is a ldiff file
[15:28:01 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> in resources
[15:29:12 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> sorry, i meant the ldapTemplate object in the LdapPersonAttributeDao
[15:29:36 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that I can't remember off the top of my head
[15:29:53 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> hm
[15:30:03 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i can't find any spring configuration files or anything
[15:30:20 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> oh i see
[15:30:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it looks like it is just in the code
[15:30:44 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> it's created when the contextSource is set
[15:37:59 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> of course, i can't really find where it sets that, either!

[17:18:40 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> eric i'm trying to use the spring ldap testing stuff and getting

[17:19:22 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> no

[17:20:01 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> http://uportal.pastebin.com/m2211d596
[17:21:33 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> are you injecting the ServerLdapContext into your UserAccountDaoLdapImpl?
[17:21:57 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> It should be a spring LdapContext implementation
[17:22:21 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yeah, getting it from the parent
[17:22:23 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> hm
[17:22:38 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> you know i think i dropped those classes into the newpackage rather than a spring one?
[17:23:21 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> well I have to head out ... catch you tomorrow
