[08:21:13 CST(-0600)] * esm (n=esm@clue.mse.jhu.edu) has joined ##uportal
[09:48:46 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> how were the meetings esm?
[09:50:00 CST(-0600)] <esm> heheh uh
[09:50:04 CST(-0600)] <esm> fine... (smile)
[09:50:23 CST(-0600)] <esm> i should be able to add the war assembler tonight or tomorrow
[09:50:33 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> cool
[09:50:37 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I'm getting closer
[09:50:44 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I have the portal up and rendering the layouts
[09:50:49 CST(-0600)] <esm> backing up against a project deadline over here so things are kind of slow on the "after-hours" coding work
[09:50:59 CST(-0600)] <esm> yeah that is awesome... progress is good
[09:51:00 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> my data isn't quite right yet though and the portlets are failing to load from the db
[09:51:06 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> no problem
[09:51:09 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I understand that one
[09:51:19 CST(-0600)] <esm> (smile)
[11:49:18 CST(-0600)] * esmhome_away (n=esm@esm.qis.net) has joined ##uportal
[11:49:18 CST(-0600)] * EricDalquist (n=dalquist@bohemia.doit.wisc.edu) has joined ##uportal
[11:53:06 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> another step closer
[11:53:06 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> looks like the domain objects are loading
[11:53:06 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> now I just need to fix permissions so I can actually see things render
[11:57:42 CST(-0600)] * esmhome_away (n=esm@esm.qis.net) has joined ##uportal
[11:57:42 CST(-0600)] * EricDalquist (n=dalquist@bohemia.doit.wisc.edu) has joined ##uportal
[12:34:25 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> how tied to Spring is pluto 1.1 willing to be?
[12:34:50 CST(-0600)] <esm> i'd really like it to not depend heavily on it
[12:35:02 CST(-0600)] <esm> right now we use it for bean wiring but none of our classes extend the framework.
[12:35:11 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> ah ... just going through stuff and realized we aren't calling PortletContainer.init
[12:35:13 CST(-0600)] <esm> or implement
[12:35:27 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and it would be easier for me if PortletContainer just extended ServletContextAware
[12:35:28 CST(-0600)] <esm> er sorry we don't implement or extend any of the spring classes
[12:37:13 CST(-0600)] <esm> well you'd be pulling stuff into shared if you do that with container
[12:37:20 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah that is very true
[12:37:27 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and that would be very bad
[12:37:31 CST(-0600)] <esm> yep
[12:41:44 CST(-0600)] <esm> its ok if the impls depend on spring, but none of our apis do (afaik)
[12:55:49 CST(-0600)] * esm sighs
[12:55:51 CST(-0600)] <esm> more meetings
[12:56:14 CST(-0600)] <esm> embarassingly, I'm having trouble getting a portlet that works under pluto 1.0.1 to work with Pluto 1.1.0 (smile)
[12:57:19 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> (smile)
[12:57:25 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> whats the problem?
[12:57:46 CST(-0600)] <esm> auto-registration isn't working, so I can't use the pluto 1.1.0 admin to deploy the portlet
[12:59:07 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> ah
[13:00:30 CST(-0600)] <esm> and for some reason my 1.1.0 tag checkout is deploying artifacts with "-SNAPSHOT" in their name. so something funky is going on
[13:00:40 CST(-0600)] <esm> anyway it will have to wait until after my meeting.
[13:00:46 CST(-0600)] <esm> i can never get anything done at work (sad)
[13:19:25 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> grr
[13:19:52 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I don't have a way in uP3 to get a uP IPortletWindow from an ID without knowing the user
[13:19:58 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> which is a problem in some places
[13:30:53 CST(-0600)] * athena7 (n=athena@lumina.its.yale.edu) has joined ##uportal
[13:47:20 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> sweet! I have a portlet rendering!
[13:55:16 CST(-0600)] <athena7> oh good!
[13:56:38 CST(-0600)] <athena7> is this up3?
[14:47:08 CST(-0600)] <esm> Eric: nice
[14:50:08 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> hey
[14:50:13 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah it is up3
[14:50:20 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> still have a lot of little bugs
[14:50:24 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> but it is sort of working
[14:51:30 CST(-0600)] <athena7> that's good (smile)
[14:51:48 CST(-0600)] <athena7> it's always good to hear about things working
[14:52:04 CST(-0600)] <athena7> i think i've got this preferences stuff for up2 close to being ready to check in
[14:53:52 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> cool
[15:05:35 CST(-0600)] <lescour> is that the dnd stuff, athena?
[15:22:20 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yay! minus portlet preferences (and probably a few other things I haven't found yet) uP3 is rendering portlets on pluto 1.1
[15:22:23 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> time to commit
[15:23:58 CST(-0600)] * esm cheers
[15:24:38 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> oh and the channel adapter is broken
[15:24:44 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and I haven't tested the servant stuff yet
[15:24:56 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> but progress!
[15:27:52 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> ok ... NO ONE SHOULD EVER USE SCRIPTLETS
[15:28:22 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> there are a bunch of compile errors and API use cases that I missed when refactoring
[15:28:41 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> because some of the JSPs some people wrote are using scriplets to invoke APIs directly
[15:28:42 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> grrr
[15:31:08 CST(-0600)] <esm> LOL
[15:31:15 CST(-0600)] <esm> sorry :/
[15:31:18 CST(-0600)] <esm> that sucks!
[15:32:41 CST(-0600)] <esm> maybe a up tag library?
[15:32:44 CST(-0600)] <esm> would help
[15:33:03 CST(-0600)] <esm> sorry i seem unable to form complete sentences todya.
[15:33:38 CST(-0600)] <esm> people put JSP scriptlets in the channels themselves?
[15:35:23 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> this is the demo portlet for the servant functionality
[15:35:37 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> it has <%IPortletServant servant=(IPortletServant)renderRequest.getAttribute("servant"); servant.render(renderRequest,renderResponse); %>
[15:35:44 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> instead of doing the APIs in the portlet
[15:35:53 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and just passing the attribute value to the JSP
[15:36:02 CST(-0600)] <esm> ah
[15:36:06 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> or just doing the call in the portlet
[15:36:08 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> not that hard
[15:36:15 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> sorry ... just venting (smile)
[15:36:23 CST(-0600)] <esm> no problem vent away (smile)
[15:36:49 CST(-0600)] <esm> It isn't a good "best-practice" demo if there's JSP scriptlets (smile)
[15:39:02 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> well I have a meeting to go to .. see you all tomorrow
[16:14:43 CST(-0600)] <esm> later all
[16:14:44 CST(-0600)] * esm (n=esm@clue.mse.jhu.edu) has left ##uportal
