[09:44:36 EST(-0500)] <dstn> Where does up_user_profile get created in uPortal 3 import? I don't see it in entities or data.xml?
[09:44:51 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> .user and .layout
[09:44:59 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> importing a .user creates a 'blank' profile entry
[09:45:20 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> importing a .layout fills out the profile entry appropriately for the layout
[09:45:41 EST(-0500)] <dstn> ok, thank you
[09:45:56 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yup
[09:46:15 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> .layout files actually have a <profile> section in them
[10:12:53 EST(-0500)] <athena7> which supports exactly one profile, incidentally
[10:13:08 EST(-0500)] <athena7> but i don't think yale is likely to have multiples
[10:13:27 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> right
[10:14:11 EST(-0500)] * athena7 attempts to make eclipse come back to life
[10:30:08 EST(-0500)] * colinclark (n=colin@bas2-toronto09-1176132041.dsl.bell.ca) has joined ##uportal

[10:36:46 EST(-0500)] * holdorph (n=holdorph@wsip-98-174-242-39.ph.ph.cox.net) has joined ##uportal
[10:36:57 EST(-0500)] <athena7> got it configured to display our list of uportal deployments last night

[12:49:28 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> Eric, would it be inconvenient to create an encompassing directory when you build the uportal 3.x source archives? Right now, there is no parent directory, so when you unarchive the distro, you get several files, with no parent directory
[12:49:47 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> this is different then it was in uportal 2.x, where there was only one subdir that would be unarchived.
[12:50:07 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> which release?
[12:50:31 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> i just checked 3.1.0 M2. i thought I had encountered in other 3.x releases too
[12:50:32 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> there was an open issue about having a root dir that I thought was fixex
[12:50:36 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> maybe i'm wrong.
[12:51:04 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> definitely the 3.1.0M2 I downloaded from the uportal.org website this week.
[12:51:08 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> was missing a parent dir
[12:51:31 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> "uPortal-3.1.0-M2.tar.gz"
[12:51:50 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hrm ok
[12:51:59 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> could you check jira and create an issue for it so I don't forget?
[12:52:13 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> or you can try and fix the build.xml in the assemblies directory
[12:52:23 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> the later would be easier for me (wink)
[12:53:13 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> i'll take a look. I'm working on an installation guide at the moment. I'll see if I can get the first pass wrapped up and take a look.
[13:08:22 EST(-0500)] * tsnfoo_ (n=tsnfoo@wso-mbp15.test.denison.edu) has joined ##uportal
[13:44:25 EST(-0500)] <dstn> Question...in exporting our template user it says it's default-user is itself, does that seem right?
[13:44:28 EST(-0500)] <dstn> http://uportal.pastebin.com/m35e54928
[13:44:49 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> um
[13:44:55 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it probably should't be
[13:44:59 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but your db may say so
[13:45:16 EST(-0500)] <dstn> ok, I'll look
[13:46:10 EST(-0500)] <dstn> indeed it does
[13:46:36 EST(-0500)] <dstn> do you think there could be any problems associated with that?
[13:46:46 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I don't know
[13:46:51 EST(-0500)] <dstn> I really don't know much about the template user stuff
[13:47:06 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I don't know if the default user resolution could break because of that or not{color}
[13:48:45 EST(-0500)] <awills> it's probably safer to leave it blank (null)... just remove the element/attribute
[13:48:52 EST(-0500)] <awills> that's my guess
[13:55:34 EST(-0500)] <dstn> ok, thanks awills
[14:19:24 EST(-0500)] * apetro (n=apetro@wsip-98-174-242-39.ph.ph.cox.net) has joined ##uportal
[15:27:21 EST(-0500)] <awills> awesome...
[15:27:32 EST(-0500)] <awills> [groovy-announce] Groovy 1.6 is released!...JSR-223 scripting engine built-in
[15:29:12 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> Eric, you closed UP-2043, although the reason you closed it doesn't seem to address the root issue, which is what we were talking about earlier.
[15:29:27 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> does it make sense to reopen this issue, rather then create a new one?
[15:35:10 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> sure
[15:48:04 EST(-0500)] * dstn waits for Eclipse to refresh 18000 files
[15:48:12 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> woohoo!
[15:48:25 EST(-0500)] <dstn> I don't think it's gonna make it
[15:48:27 EST(-0500)] * athena7 notes her eclipse has been extremely temperamental of late
[15:48:33 EST(-0500)] <dstn> whoa, it finished
[15:48:38 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yay!
[15:48:52 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i was going to suggest maybe ours could go whine together
[15:48:52 EST(-0500)] <dstn> ya, susan has been having issues lately too, she finally made the switch to 3.4
[15:49:33 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'm waiting for 3.4.2
[15:49:41 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> which will fix a JSP editor error
[15:49:42 EST(-0500)] <dstn> oh, you still not on it?
[15:49:46 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> is it out?
[15:49:55 EST(-0500)] <dstn> no, I was referring to 3.4 in general
[15:50:10 EST(-0500)] <dstn> I thought you used 3.4
[15:50:30 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'm using 3.4.1
[15:50:35 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> which has a JSP editor bug
[15:50:43 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i'm still on 3.3.2
[15:50:46 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and for certain taglibs flags ALL JSPs that use them has having compile errors
[15:50:48 EST(-0500)] <athena7> maybe i should do something about that
[15:50:52 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it should be fixed in 3.4.2
[15:50:55 EST(-0500)] <dstn> ah
[15:52:12 EST(-0500)] <athena7> hm, still snowing
[15:52:28 EST(-0500)] <dstn> mysting here
[15:52:58 EST(-0500)] <athena7> it's funny how much difference being a couple miles inland makes
[15:54:01 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> I'm more then a few miles inland, I don't think I ever get snow.
[15:54:53 EST(-0500)] <athena7> that must be why!
[15:54:57 EST(-0500)] <dstn> definitely
[15:55:15 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i know only the coastal states get snow, so it must be true
[15:57:17 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> minnesota must be a coastal state unto itself, then with all those lakes, huh?
[15:58:38 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yeah
[15:58:51 EST(-0500)] <athena7> you know, it really doesn't snow as much as you'd think there
[15:58:56 EST(-0500)] <athena7> too cold to snow (tongue)
[16:09:24 EST(-0500)] <dstn> So....maybe a stupid question but bare with me here
[16:09:41 EST(-0500)] <dstn> prior to importing data, I need to run initdb right?
[16:09:47 EST(-0500)] * [jlee_] (n=jlee@adsl-074-184-125-241.sip.asm.bellsouth.net) has joined ##uportal
[16:09:51 EST(-0500)] <dstn> that will load everything in data.xml?
[16:09:53 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> initdb will import data
[16:10:09 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> <antcall target="db" />
[16:10:09 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> <antcall target="db-hibernate" />
[16:10:09 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> <antcall target="i18n-db" />
[16:10:09 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> <antcall target="db-import" />
[16:10:13 EST(-0500)] <dstn> doh
[16:10:13 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> initdb does all of that
[16:10:29 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> db creates the tables from tables.xml and loads the data from data.xml
[16:10:40 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> db-hibernate creates the tables for the hibernate managed entities
[16:10:55 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> i18n-db creates the tables for the internationalization features that aren't really used anymore
[16:11:03 EST(-0500)] <dstn> lol
[16:11:16 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> db-import runs crn-import with the included entities
[16:22:41 EST(-0500)] <awills> yeah that's right... if the things you want to import are in properties/db/entities/, the initdb target will do it all for you
[16:25:22 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i'm having trouble getting the current trunk to run
[16:25:27 EST(-0500)] <athena7> is this just me?
[16:25:45 EST(-0500)] <awills> any stack trace or suspicious log actibity?
[16:25:54 EST(-0500)] <awills> activity*
[16:25:57 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yeah, if you hang on i'll paste it
[16:26:03 EST(-0500)] <athena7> was failing on some crn-looking stuff
[16:26:05 EST(-0500)] <awills> yes please
[16:26:15 EST(-0500)] <athena7> figured i'd do a redeploy and restart just in case
[16:31:44 EST(-0500)] <athena7> http://uportal.pastebin.com/m24bfb260
[16:32:06 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i can double check that this isn't related to my adding a filter, but that was only to the css
[16:32:36 EST(-0500)] <athena7> and the non-logged-in view fails with a no session available error
[16:32:59 EST(-0500)] <athena7> any thoughts awills?
[16:34:29 EST(-0500)] <awills> looking now
[16:34:44 EST(-0500)] * athena7 pets uportal . . . no exploding
[16:35:33 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> you have the latest code athena7?
[16:35:42 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yeah
[16:35:48 EST(-0500)] <awills> this is from the FragmentAdministration portlet
[16:36:49 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I have an idea ....
[16:37:33 EST(-0500)] <awills> when does this occur?
[16:37:44 EST(-0500)] <athena7> when i tried to log in
[16:38:10 EST(-0500)] <awills> when you submit credentials?
[16:38:41 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yeah
[16:38:48 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i have the admin login bookmarked
[16:39:19 EST(-0500)] <awills> me too (wink)
[16:39:40 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i'm also getting a blank page at login, which may or may not be related
[16:41:27 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so the session isn't available when request.getRemoteUser is called
[16:41:32 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> which is weird ...
[16:42:01 EST(-0500)] <awills> agreed
[16:42:20 EST(-0500)] <awills> i'm re-building now to see if i get the same thing
[16:43:20 EST(-0500)] <athena7> ok
[16:43:27 EST(-0500)] <athena7> does the unauthenticated page work for you?
[16:50:17 EST(-0500)] <awills> everything works – unauthenticated, authenticated, admin login link, cas login, and the FragmentAdministration portlet itself
[16:50:27 EST(-0500)] <awills> though things look a bit different
[16:50:43 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yeah gary checked in some changes
[16:51:12 EST(-0500)] <awills> tab content is rendering "on top of" left gutter content atm
[16:51:23 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yeah
[16:51:34 EST(-0500)] <athena7> so are you using a fresh initportal and everything?
[16:51:56 EST(-0500)] <awills> i'd done initportal recently, but not just now
[16:52:00 EST(-0500)] <awills> i'll do that
[16:52:01 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i wonder if my clean-shared task deleted something i needed
[16:52:05 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i can check on that
[16:52:11 EST(-0500)] <athena7> it may have been something i screwed up
[16:53:06 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> awills: http://developer.jasig.org/repo/content/repositories/3rd-party/javax/script/
[16:53:24 EST(-0500)] <awills> nice, thanks
[16:53:39 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I can update the crn pom.xml with that reference if you'd like
[16:53:41 EST(-0500)] <awills> did you see what i posted earlier? groovy 1.6 comes w/ engine?
[16:53:50 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[16:53:53 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that will be nice too
[16:54:20 EST(-0500)] <awills> if we update to 1.6 we may be able to ditch those janky distros entirely
[16:54:29 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> well
[16:54:32 EST(-0500)] <awills> and other oddities like retrotranslator
[16:54:33 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> you still need it for rhino
[16:54:55 EST(-0500)] <awills> not if we change rhino support to JDK 6 required (wink)
[16:55:02 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ah
[16:55:13 EST(-0500)] <awills> don't think anyone's using it... not even agherna, who asked for it
[16:55:18 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hah
[16:55:44 EST(-0500)] <awills> jdk6 comes w/ rhino/jsr-223 api/js-engine baked in
[16:56:26 EST(-0500)] <awills> i'm plannng on taking a good look at this angle tonight
[16:58:07 EST(-0500)] <awills> yeah athena7 everything works the same after initportal as well
[16:58:18 EST(-0500)] <athena7> hmm
[16:58:26 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i can't figure out what would be wrong with my instance
[16:58:55 EST(-0500)] <awills> i'm sure you did, but try >ant clean initportal?
[16:59:46 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yep, did
[16:59:49 EST(-0500)] <athena7> will try again
[16:59:57 EST(-0500)] <athena7> reverting any local changes i have, even if they seem innocuous
[17:00:07 EST(-0500)] <awills> yeah i'd be doing that
[17:00:11 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i did an os x update this morning, but my other uportal installs still work
[17:00:19 EST(-0500)] <awills> is it by any chance a fresh tomcat?
[17:00:21 EST(-0500)] <athena7> so i'm kind of hoping that's unrelated
[17:00:23 EST(-0500)] <athena7> nope
[17:00:52 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i did a clean-shared, which i hadn't done in a while
[17:01:16 EST(-0500)] <athena7> and eric also has a mac, so i'm guessing it's not that
[17:01:28 EST(-0500)] <awills> did you take a look for the pluto jars, to see if they went back correctly?
[17:02:27 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> well I can give it a try tonight when I get home
[17:03:42 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yeah it looks like they're there
[17:04:05 EST(-0500)] <awills> um, cool
[17:04:26 EST(-0500)] <athena7> we'll see if this deployment attempt goes any better
[17:04:50 EST(-0500)] <athena7> if that doesn't work maybe i'll try a clean tomcat
[17:05:16 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> do you have removeExisting=true in your build.properties file?
[17:07:08 EST(-0500)] <awills> that's a good question
[17:07:33 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that is set to true by default in 3.1 now
[17:07:39 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> caused too many problems without it
[17:07:56 EST(-0500)] <awills> probably a good idea
[17:09:34 EST(-0500)] <athena7> hm, i might not
[17:09:38 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i do in some of my other instances
[17:10:02 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yep
[17:10:54 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> awills: I just updated the cernunnos root pom, should significantly reduce maven downloading noise
[17:13:17 EST(-0500)] * EricDalquist (n=dalquist@bohemia.doit.wisc.edu) has joined ##uportal
[17:15:35 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> Eric. I attached a semi-patch (not a patch file, but a full file attachment to replace build.xml) to UP-2043
[17:16:23 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> check it out, see what you don't like let me know. If it looks good, I'll commit it. If you see something that needs to change, I'll see if I have time to change it. If i don't have time to change, then I'll just unassign the issue
[17:16:56 EST(-0500)] * holdorph goes to talk to his next project manager about his time (smile)
[17:18:49 EST(-0500)] <athena7> does tomcat 6 have an equivalent of common/endorsed?
[17:23:37 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> i dont know, i haven't done enough with tomcat 6
[17:29:37 EST(-0500)] <awills> eric that's great
[17:37:10 EST(-0500)] * apetro (n=apetro@wsip-98-174-242-39.ph.ph.cox.net) has joined ##uportal
[17:42:19 EST(-0500)] <athena7> ok, i actually may be missing a jar somewhere
[17:42:35 EST(-0500)] <athena7> Cannot find class [javax.portlet.PortletMode] doesn't sound good
[17:44:17 EST(-0500)] <athena7> oh, never mind
[18:01:25 EST(-0500)] * lennard2 (n=sparhk@wsip-98-174-242-39.ph.ph.cox.net) has left ##uportal
[18:15:15 EST(-0500)] <athena7> so now i seem to be getting
[18:15:16 EST(-0500)] <athena7> java.lang.NullPointerException
[18:15:16 EST(-0500)] <athena7> at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:401)

[18:15:53 EST(-0500)] <awills> hmmm... can you paste more of the stack trace?
[18:17:25 EST(-0500)] <athena7> http://uportal.pastebin.com/m49b85bf5
[18:17:29 EST(-0500)] <athena7> that's for the unauthenticated view
[18:38:29 EST(-0500)] <athena7> ok
[18:38:36 EST(-0500)] <athena7> it actually is something in the recent commits
[18:38:44 EST(-0500)] <athena7> awills: are you running the current trunk?
[18:41:27 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> if my hard drive wasn't flailing around right now, I could probably test for you
[18:41:44 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i backed up to yesterday - going to selectively apply commits until i find it, i guess
[18:41:49 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> but I think I'm asking for trouble if I try to check out uportal trunk, while I try to remove this sakai tree at the same time
[18:41:56 EST(-0500)] <athena7> lol
[18:41:57 EST(-0500)] <athena7> no kidding.
[18:43:52 EST(-0500)] <awills> i am running on the current trunk, yes
[18:44:49 EST(-0500)] <athena7> looks to me like it's one of the changes in the theme files from this afternoon
[18:45:06 EST(-0500)] <awills> the issue you're experiencing?
[18:45:09 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yeah
[18:45:51 EST(-0500)] <awills> changes in up-impl/src/main/webapp?
[18:46:01 EST(-0500)] <awills> which theme files?
[18:46:21 EST(-0500)] <athena7> changes in uportal-impl/src/main/resources/layout/theme/universality
[18:46:29 EST(-0500)] <awills> gotcha
[18:48:10 EST(-0500)] <awills> you mean up-war right?
[18:48:21 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yes, sorry
[18:48:25 EST(-0500)] <awills> np
[18:51:19 EST(-0500)] <awills> there are only 2 from today... they don't look very worrysome
[18:52:12 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> i still blame steve jobs
[18:52:24 EST(-0500)] <awills> nice
[18:52:48 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> it works for you, right? and gary? and not for athena7 ? i rest my case.
[18:54:00 EST(-0500)] <athena7> well, it's possible
[18:54:23 EST(-0500)] <athena7> just frustrated because i have a ton of work to do
[18:54:24 EST(-0500)] * athena7 sighs
[19:07:31 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> about 2 minutes to create an 8 gigabyte virtual hard disk in virtual box, in case anyone was curious
[19:07:53 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> now to see how long it takes to copy 4 gigs between virtual hard disks on the same physical disk
[19:23:37 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> 452s
[19:30:11 EST(-0500)] <athena7> ok, i'm giving up for now
[19:30:22 EST(-0500)] <athena7> unless someone has some advice about how to debug this
[19:30:41 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> rolling back gary's changes isn't an option for now?
[19:30:55 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> or are you trying to actually debug his problem?
[19:32:13 EST(-0500)] <athena7> unfortunately most of the work i need to do is to actually integrate the ajax stuff with his changes
[19:32:20 EST(-0500)] <athena7> and add other ui related things
[19:32:36 EST(-0500)] <athena7> so i can roll back his changes, but i can't really do much work
[19:32:56 EST(-0500)] <athena7> going to take a break, will talk to you guys later
[19:33:12 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> ok, cya
