[10:52:07 EDT(-0400)] <esm> EricDalquist: I posted a link yesterday afternoon after you left
[10:52:11 EDT(-0400)] <esm> a maven properties plugin
[10:52:19 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> really ..
[10:52:23 EDT(-0400)] <esm> its in the codehaus sandbox but its probably good
[10:52:24 EDT(-0400)] <esm> here
[10:52:34 EDT(-0400)] <esm> https://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/trunk/sandbox/properties-maven-plugin/
[10:52:48 EDT(-0400)] <esm> i've not tried it but I ran across it thought u'd want to know
[10:53:24 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> interesting
[10:55:23 EDT(-0400)] <esm> its not on the mojo.codehaus.org page though.
[10:55:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[10:55:39 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I just found http://arsenalist.com/2007/02/07/maven-properties-plugin-download/ about it
[10:56:08 EDT(-0400)] <esm> nice.. looks good.
[10:56:28 EDT(-0400)] <esm> r4995 | carlos | 2007-08-17 06:06:30 -0400 (Fri, 17 Aug 2007) | 1 line
[10:56:28 EDT(-0400)] <esm> Moved to https://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/trunk/sandbox
[10:56:48 EDT(-0400)] <esm> no real commits since.
[10:56:57 EDT(-0400)] <esm> but it is what it is
[11:02:06 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i seem to have stumbled across another oracle bug, potentially
[11:02:14 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yay oracle!
[11:02:17 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> (tongue)
[11:02:25 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> what's the issue?
[11:02:27 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> when updating the skin choice
[11:02:36 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i get Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-03115: unsupported network datatype or representation
[11:02:47 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i'll put the whole stack trace up on pastebin
[11:02:50 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ok
[11:03:00 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> let me check first to see if the non-ajax way to do that works
[11:03:08 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ok
[11:03:11 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> nope, doesn't
[11:03:11 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> ok
[11:03:32 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> http://uportal.pastebin.com/mc49a9e7
[11:05:27 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> what version of the ojdbc driver are you using?
[11:06:03 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> also could you turn on debug logging for RDBMDistributedLayoutStore?
[11:06:19 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> there is a log statement right before the exception that should dump out what it is trying to do
[11:06:23 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> sure
[11:07:11 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> Oracle 10.1.0.5.0
[11:07:13 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
[11:07:13 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> [java] With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining Scoring Engine options
[11:07:47 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> you might want to try getting a 10.2 JDBC driver to go with your 10.2 db
[11:07:57 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> ok, can do
[11:08:11 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i copied over the one we were using in the current yale dev and production instances
[11:08:23 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> probably want to upgrade those two
[11:08:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> we did pretty recently, actually
[11:08:35 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i think in december
[11:08:44 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> we have no end to issue with ojdbc drivers and try to stay as new as possible with them
[11:08:45 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> we'd been using the old classes12.jar
[11:08:51 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> (smile)
[11:08:55 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i don't know if this was the current jar at the time or not
[11:09:01 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yeah we got bitten by some bugs in the old one
[11:18:46 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> can't seem to get oracle's download page to load
[11:19:15 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> nice
[11:19:22 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yeah (tongue)
[11:19:38 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> maybe their database is down (wink)
[11:21:13 EDT(-0400)] * EiNZTEiN (n=einztein@205.241.143.4) has joined ##uportal
[11:21:18 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> you know what would be a great framework portlet?
[11:21:23 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> a log4j config editor portlet
[11:21:34 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so you could change log levels at runtime
[11:21:51 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> that'd be great
[11:21:59 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> is that doable from a jmx console?
[11:22:04 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm not sure
[11:22:08 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> we should check though
[11:22:16 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I know the log4j folks were working on jmx support
[11:22:56 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> that'd be pretty neat
[11:23:05 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> does the new up3 have some jmx stuff added?
[11:23:08 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> \yup
[11:23:08 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> howdy everyone
[11:23:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> there is a bunch of stuff exposed
[11:23:17 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> hiya
[11:23:18 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> oh I need to fix some things there
[11:23:21 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i thought that was probably the case
[11:23:22 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I just remembered that (tongue)
[11:23:30 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> (smile)
[11:23:36 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah you can monitor and manage all of the caches
[11:23:37 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i need to check on the stuff tuy reported
[11:23:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the database and ldap conneciton pools
[11:23:53 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and a bunch of other info
[11:24:02 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> sounds great
[11:24:06 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[11:24:18 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> you can actually connect through JMX to flush any of the IEntity caches now
[11:25:00 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> the line right before the stack trace is INSERT INTO UP_SS_USER_PARM (USER_ID,PROFILE_ID,SS_ID,SS_T
[11:25:00 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> YPE,PARAM_NAME,PARAM_VAL) VALUES (?,?,?,2,?,?)VALUE 7,1,4,skin,undefined
[11:25:04 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> with debug mode turned on
[11:25:08 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> wow, that sounds great
[11:25:26 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> undefined is probably not right (smile)
[11:26:13 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i'm playing with rc2 at the moment though, so this may be something that's fixed in the head, i'll find out
[11:26:35 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ok
[11:27:06 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> jira is a lot faster now that it is the only java app running on the old machine (tongue)
[11:27:12 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> lol
[11:27:13 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i bet
[11:33:57 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ok
[11:34:04 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so I think I'm going to try and cut RC3
[11:34:28 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> sounds good
[11:34:40 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> looks like gary had some final skin touchups
[11:34:54 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> will he be able to add those after the fact?
[11:35:04 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yup
[11:35:17 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the majority of the work is there
[11:35:20 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> cool (smile)
[11:35:23 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> that'll be great
[11:35:25 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so RC3 -> GA will just be bugfixing
[11:35:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and manual writing
[11:35:30 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> uhg
[11:35:32 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i'd love to get it up on our dev server once it's cut
[11:35:37 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yeah
[11:39:14 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so when we moved svn & fisheye last night and had fisheye re-index it didn't pick up on the move of uPortal
[11:39:18 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so if you go to: nopackage
[11:39:19 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> oops
[11:39:24 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> http://developer.ja-sig.org/source/browse/jasigsvn/uPortal/trunk
[11:39:37 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> there is only history going back to the move in the linegraph
[11:39:42 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it is ok for the individual files
[11:39:49 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but not the project as a whole
[12:14:26 EDT(-0400)] * dstn (n=dstn@134.250.4.77) has joined ##uportal
[12:26:41 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> hey esm, any idea why maven fails with a dependency error when trying to run clean on uPortal if the current uportal version isn't in any repository?
[12:27:08 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it appears that the clean task on the uportal-war fails because the uportal-impl artifact doesn't exist
[12:27:19 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> strange that clean would cause that sort of failure
[12:58:41 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> could folks double check my release announcement draft and let me know if they see any problems in it? http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/3.0.0+RC3
[13:03:36 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> you looking for grammatical suggestions or just content (smile)?
[13:04:34 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> either, both
[13:05:41 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> I think time line is one word...
[13:08:22 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ok
[13:10:01 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> "The generated Maven site which includes JavaDocs and other interesting is available as well:"
[13:10:26 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> other interesting <things> is maybe what that is supposed to say?
[13:10:36 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> probably, good catch
[13:12:27 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> "The tabs and content is now much more appropriate" > I think should say "tabs and content are" instead of is
[13:12:36 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> other than that, looks good to me, nice job
[13:13:40 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> thanks for the corrections (smile)
[13:14:58 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> This is just a suggestion, but I was also thinking that a link to some screenshots of the new content and layout might be helpful to compare what has been changed
[13:15:24 EDT(-0400)] <esm> EricDalquist: not sure what is the svn url? Very weird.
[13:15:39 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> https://www.ja-sig.org/svn/uPortal/trunk
[13:15:53 EDT(-0400)] * esm checking out now
[13:16:02 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'll wait to run mvn deploy till you test it
[13:16:08 EDT(-0400)] <esm> ok
[13:22:16 EDT(-0400)] <esm> trying clean on a fresh checkout
[13:23:48 EDT(-0400)] <esm> ok i got http://uportal.pastebin.com/m33739de9
[13:23:50 EDT(-0400)] <esm> lets see
[13:24:06 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yup
[13:27:13 EDT(-0400)] <esm> EricDalquist: well, when i run mvn clean on a fresh checkout, it downloads all of the project dependencies
[13:27:21 EDT(-0400)] <esm> like its downloading cas client, spring orm
[13:27:24 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[13:27:53 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm wondering if that is 'normal' mvn behavior
[13:27:57 EDT(-0400)] <esm> so I'm not sure why clean does that
[13:28:06 EDT(-0400)] <esm> i think it probably is
[13:28:17 EDT(-0400)] <esm> let me pop in on codehaus
[13:28:23 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> thanks
[13:32:03 EDT(-0400)] <esm> no repsonse yet.
[13:32:10 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> (smile)
[13:32:22 EDT(-0400)] <esm> i assume that uportal-impl.jar is not deployed?
[13:32:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> not yet
[13:32:33 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> they will be shortly though
[13:32:57 EDT(-0400)] <esm> > running 'mvn clean' on a fresh checkout of my project results in all the project dependencies being downloaded. is that normal behavior for the clean lifecycle
[13:32:57 EDT(-0400)] <esm> *** Signoff: conan (Ping timeout)
[13:32:58 EDT(-0400)] <esm> <Brian> unfortunately yes
[13:33:29 EDT(-0400)] <esm> <Brian> clean forks the build to discover any folders added in the generate sources phase
[13:33:45 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> uhg
[13:33:46 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ok
[13:33:50 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so I just need to document it
[13:33:55 EDT(-0400)] <esm> yeah
[13:33:57 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it won't be a huge deal for uportal releases
[13:34:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but the code in trunk usually fails if you just check it out and run clean
[13:34:16 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> oh well
[13:34:22 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> another reason to get a nightly build server up :op
[13:34:25 EDT(-0400)] <esm> yep!
[13:34:29 EDT(-0400)] <esm> i'm doing that for dspace.
[13:34:47 EDT(-0400)] <esm> > Brian: thanks for the explanation. You guys are super helpful.
[13:34:47 EDT(-0400)] <esm> > just to talk to people who have understanding of what's under maven's hood
[13:34:48 EDT(-0400)] <esm> <Brian> yep sometimes a simple answer goes a long way
[13:34:51 EDT(-0400)] <esm> brian fox is the man.
[13:35:07 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> (smile)
[13:36:17 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ok ... running deploy
[13:38:27 EDT(-0400)] <esm> eric i gotta run to a meeting
[13:38:29 EDT(-0400)] <esm> good luck bbiab
[13:38:41 EDT(-0400)] <esm> nice job you guys and gals on this release
[15:03:33 EDT(-0400)] * athena7 (n=athena7@lumina.its.yale.edu) has joined ##uportal
[15:03:43 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> teh internets, they are back!!
[15:03:47 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yay!
[15:04:01 EDT(-0400)] * athena7 cheers
[15:04:15 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> we missed the google
[15:04:32 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> heeeeeeey and there's an rc3
[15:04:37 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yup
[15:04:55 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> though the import/export you need to do to use an RC2 database with it doesn't work (tongue)
[15:05:01 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> we did all the testing on importing
[15:05:06 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> never bothered checking export ....
[15:06:05 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> ahh
[15:06:26 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> which was never updated to deal with the new portlet persistence code
[15:08:11 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> ohh
[16:48:50 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> hey eric i'm getting an error for that skin change in postgres as well
[16:48:55 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Can't use query methods that take a query string on a PreparedStatement.
[16:49:22 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ohhhh
[16:50:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> you know what's causing it?
[16:50:40 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> had an idea
[16:50:44 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> let me look ....
[16:50:49 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> ok
[16:58:27 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ah yeah
[16:58:28 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> got it
[16:58:40 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> in RDBMDistributedLayoutStore:2173
[16:58:41 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> line pstmt.executeUpdate(sQuery);
[16:58:45 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> should be pstmt.executeUpdate();
[16:59:36 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> ah ok
[16:59:45 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i wondered if there was something like that
[16:59:50 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> ok, i'm heading out for now
[16:59:54 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ok
[16:59:56 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> but i'll try that out, thanks (smile)
[17:00:00 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yup
[17:00:05 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> have a good weekend!
[17:00:25 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> you too (smile)
