[13:06:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> athena: with channel definitions
[13:06:25 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the name is what is displayed in the UIs such as portlet manager or subscribe
[13:06:37 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and the title is what is displayed in the chrome?
[13:06:44 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i think that's true
[13:06:50 EDT(-0400)] <athena> but i've never really understood that either
[13:06:56 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ok
[13:07:02 EDT(-0400)] <athena> seems kind of confusing to me
[13:07:06 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm just stepping through the new JPA code
[13:07:07 EDT(-0400)] <athena> by the way, speaking of channel manager
[13:07:16 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and trying to figure out where to mark things not null, unique, etc
[13:07:18 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i don't know if you saw my comments on friday about the web proxy portlet in 3.1
[13:07:24 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and wondering if name should be notnull & unique
[13:07:26 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[13:07:28 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> its broken
[13:07:40 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist>
[13:07:58 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i looked into it, and it looks like the problem is that the channel manager persists empty portlet preferences
[13:08:08 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ah
[13:08:13 EDT(-0400)]

[13:08:16 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah that should probably be fixed
[13:08:19 EDT(-0400)] <athena> which causes http errors
[13:08:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> Also loading the preferences back into PORTLET. prefixed parameters at the right spot so editing an existing chan def works
[13:08:50 EDT(-0400)] <athena> so do we want to fix the web proxy portlet to handle blank strings, or fix the channel manager to not persist blank values? (or both)
[13:08:58 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yeah, holdorph tripped across that too
[13:09:21 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> probably channel manager
[13:09:24 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ok
[13:09:34 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and it should probably be the form submit code
[13:09:36 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i think i can probably find a little time to fix that since it's blocking a project
[13:09:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so not a persist level check
[13:09:44 EDT(-0400)] <athena> just wanted to check with you on how we wanted ti fixed
[13:09:52 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but a check on the submitted form params and ignore empty values
[13:10:10 EDT(-0400)] <athena> so you mean clean those values out right when they're submitted yes?
[13:11:28 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yes
[13:11:42 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I don't want to exclude the ability to store "" via an API
[13:11:52 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but the form submit should scrub "" values
[13:14:28 EDT(-0400)] <athena> sounds good
[13:14:40 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i'll take a look at that this week
[13:14:49 EDT(-0400)] <athena> oh, i need to check in those fixes for trunk, too
[13:14:52 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i'll try and do that today
[13:14:53 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist>
[13:15:05 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm going to see how far on the chan type and portlet def relationships I can get
[13:15:15 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and see about doing a 3.2.0-M1 Thursday
[13:15:48 EDT(-0400)] <athena> that's be awesome
