[10:32:07 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> there we go
[10:32:18 EDT(-0400)] <apetro_LD830_ubu> wherever we go, there we are.
[10:38:07 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> (smile)
[10:39:29 EDT(-0400)] <esm> lol i had to reboot my bot this morning too
[10:39:54 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ours was out because of a power outage at princeton
[10:40:08 EDT(-0400)] <esm> mine was b/c i forgot to call writer.close()
[10:40:09 EDT(-0400)] <esm> (smile)
[10:40:17 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> oops

[11:30:22 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> Which of the diffenrent directories under lib/ in uP 2.6 is the correct place to put jitldap.jar?
[11:33:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> you need it at runtime right?
[11:33:50 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but only uportal needs it?
[11:34:41 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> if so lib/runtime
[11:35:20 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> Yes, yes, thanks!
[11:39:18 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> I have no luck getting uPortal + CAS to work on Tomcat 5.5.26. The exact same configuration deployed to Tomcat 5.5.25 works though. Anyone who has tried Tomcat 5.5.26?
[11:39:29 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> (uPortal 2.6.1)
[11:39:35 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'd imagine it would work exactly the same way
[11:40:09 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> are you getting exceptions?
[11:42:10 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> No, thats the strange part.
[11:42:33 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> Must be something stupid in my config
[11:43:21 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> earlier whe moved from 5.5.18 to .23, .25 without problmes

[12:56:39 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> hey esm is there any way to get maven2 to read properties from a .properties file?
[12:58:53 EDT(-0400)] <esm> hmm
[13:00:43 EDT(-0400)] <esm> EricDalquist: You can use a <filter> with a .properties file
[13:01:02 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah ... I want to reference properties in my poms from a .properties file
[13:01:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm thinking there isn't a way
[13:01:20 EDT(-0400)] <esm> yup
[13:01:23 EDT(-0400)] <esm> me to
[13:01:27 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> oh well
[13:01:31 EDT(-0400)] <esm> they (maven) generallydiscourage that
[13:01:34 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[13:02:03 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> for uportal I need to set the JDBC artifact and the final uPortal.war name in a few places
[13:02:14 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'll just declare them in the <properties> block of the parent pom
[13:02:27 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but that is just a little harder for people to edit
[13:02:32 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> than if I could have them in build.properties
[13:03:02 EDT(-0400)] <esm> yeeah. They could override the values using system properties on the mvn command line
[13:03:15 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> uhg
[13:03:24 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah I'll just doc how to edit the /pom
[13:03:32 EDT(-0400)] <esm> (smile)
[13:07:33 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so has anyone here heard of the <binary> HTML tag?
[13:08:17 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> one of my coworkers just ran into a HTML file in a big file store they're trying to search index with it
[13:08:21 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the file is mostly HTML
[13:08:24 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> except for these tags
[13:09:17 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> which contains UNENCODED/ESCAPED image date
[13:22:50 EDT(-0400)] <esm> <binary> i don't think is part of html4
[13:24:11 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> we don't think it is either
[13:24:15 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> its really annoying
[13:24:38 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm helping him write an Reader that filters <binary></binary> out of the stream
[13:25:03 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> since NekoHTML which he's using to grab the char data from html for indexing gets into an infinate loop on these files

[15:48:12 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so a while back I created this: http://www.ja-sig.org/issues/browse/UP-1941
[15:48:35 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the issue is since uPortal is now a blend of factories and spring we have a lot of code doing applicationContext.getBean("foo");
[15:48:57 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and I'm trying to think of ways to reduce breakage when a bean is renamed in the spring xml files
[15:49:30 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the thought with that issue is to just declare all of the bean names as constants on the PortalApplicationContextLocator which portal classes use to access the application context
[15:50:55 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> seem sane?
[15:54:52 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> everyone must be at lunch (tongue)
