[08:46:47 CST(-0600)] <faizan> good morning
[08:47:38 CST(-0600)] <faizan> Eric: did you get around the circular reference issue
[08:59:51 CST(-0600)] <faizan> jason are you there
[09:12:04 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> hey faizan
[09:12:08 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> no I haven't yet
[09:12:19 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I'm going to start on that shortly I have to take care of some other issues here first
[09:13:42 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I'll start looking at it again in a few minutes, I'm not that familiar with this code so solving the issue may take a while (sad)
[09:36:59 CST(-0600)] <faizan> To get around it just turned of the auto-proxy in the regestries .xm.
[09:37:06 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> ok
[09:37:08 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> that works
[09:37:28 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> the only thing that you loose is the permissions checks around who can see/render portlet definitions
[09:37:34 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> but for your pilot that is just fine
[09:41:11 CST(-0600)] <faizan> ok
[09:41:22 CST(-0600)] <faizan> I could not get PAGS stuff working
[09:41:36 CST(-0600)] <faizan> and I do not have any more time to spend on it
[09:41:55 CST(-0600)] <faizan> But it kind of annoying to leave it without getting it work
[09:42:03 CST(-0600)] <faizan> Are you around today
[09:42:19 CST(-0600)] <faizan> I mean if you have some spare cycles may be you can try PAGS
[09:49:39 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah, that is my goal
[09:49:54 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I want to actually have pags enabled and working as part of the default install
[09:51:10 CST(-0600)] * dmccallum (n=dmccallu@uni1.unicon.net) has joined ##uportal
[09:52:24 CST(-0600)] <faizan> OK then just keep me posted. If you get it working, then I will try it
[09:55:32 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> ok
[13:23:02 CST(-0600)] <faizan> ESM: Did you get a chance to try the PAGS
[13:23:37 CST(-0600)] <faizan> You mentioned on Thursday or Friday, that you will try to make it work on your side
[13:23:37 CST(-0600)] <esm> faizan: no not yet, still chasing another spring bean issue
[13:23:45 CST(-0600)] <faizan> oh ok
[13:23:55 CST(-0600)] <esm> yeah we want to use PAGS, but i need to get up3 up and running first (smile)
[13:24:15 CST(-0600)] <esm> i'll definitly send an update out here
[13:24:19 CST(-0600)] <esm> or on ja-sig dev
[13:28:57 CST(-0600)] <esm> the up3 rendering context can't find a bean named portal.contexts.uP3.renderingattrs.tabcolumn.transformerPreferences
[13:29:04 CST(-0600)] <esm> i don't think it is defined anywhere
[13:29:42 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> hey faizan I still haven't gotten to it
[13:29:56 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I'll be sure to let you know as soon as I doi
[13:30:23 CST(-0600)] <faizan> Ok. I am planning to wrap our evaluation by Thursday morning.
[13:31:28 CST(-0600)] <faizan> I mean this is just FYI
[13:41:06 CST(-0600)] <esm> holy hell up3 is up!
[13:41:11 CST(-0600)] * esm spinns
[14:09:05 CST(-0600)] <faizan> Nice
[14:09:39 CST(-0600)] <faizan> Eric can I ask quick question
[14:13:19 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> sure faizan
[14:14:00 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> sorry about the slow replies today, my irc client isn't beeping at me
[14:16:49 CST(-0600)] <faizan> ok
[14:17:07 CST(-0600)] <faizan> I dropped our rutgres-channels and I see compiler errors in there
[14:17:31 CST(-0600)] <faizan> I am thinking to get our local portal (up2) jared up and replace it with the up2api.jar
[14:17:38 CST(-0600)] <faizan> is there any downside to it
[14:17:54 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> there could be if there are class name conflicts
[14:18:10 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> any class in your up2 that has the same package and class names will cause a big problem
[14:18:22 CST(-0600)] <faizan> mmmm it is going to happen
[14:18:53 CST(-0600)] <faizan> There are common things that are not getting resolved e.g.
[14:18:59 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> getting you to document the compile errors would be good
[14:19:12 CST(-0600)] <faizan> org.jasig.portal.RDBMServices, org.jasig.portal.channels.AbstractMultiThreadedCacheable
[14:19:32 CST(-0600)] <faizan> org.jasig.portal.security.provider package
[14:19:43 CST(-0600)] <faizan> org.jasig.portal.utils.XML
[14:20:15 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> can you update http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UP3/required+channel+support with the channels that are failing (
[14:20:19 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> if community channels)
[14:20:37 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and the compile exceptions / stack traces?
[14:20:45 CST(-0600)] <faizan> I will update if any of our community channel fails
[14:21:03 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> well having the info for your channels will be good to
[14:21:09 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> you don't need to list the channel
[14:21:21 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> but if you don't list the problems it will be harder to fix them
[14:21:58 CST(-0600)] <faizan> OK if you want me to just list the things that are missing and giving compier errors, I can do that
[14:22:03 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> that would be good
[14:44:07 CST(-0600)] <faizan> I have added a section and I will keep updating it as I go
[14:45:08 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> thanks
[14:45:13 CST(-0600)] <faizan> IBasicEntity is referenced from every where
[14:45:43 CST(-0600)] <faizan> Most of our channels use AbstractMultithreadedCacheable class I thin it is not part of uP2 anymore
[14:47:39 CST(-0600)] <faizan> what should I be using for PersonImpl
[14:48:02 CST(-0600)] <faizan> I mean if I refactor what will replace it
[14:48:10 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> perhaps IUser?
[15:11:15 CST(-0600)] * edalquist (n=dalquist@76.210.69.140) has joined ##uportal
[15:18:30 CST(-0600)] <faizan> Eric: quick question about User Attribute Portlet
[15:20:26 CST(-0600)] <edalquist> yes
[15:22:41 CST(-0600)] <faizan> Never mind I got it
[15:22:43 CST(-0600)] <faizan> It sees we can have multiple configurations of the userAttributes at the same time.
[15:22:49 CST(-0600)] <edalquist> yup
[15:22:52 CST(-0600)] <edalquist> as many as you want
[15:23:06 CST(-0600)] <faizan> That is neat
[15:23:10 CST(-0600)] <edalquist> (smile)
[15:24:07 CST(-0600)] <faizan> When I am mapping the attributes dyanically, in the drop down I will get only attributes that LDAP is giving me or I can control that drop down as well
[15:25:40 CST(-0600)] <edalquist> the drop down is populated with the keys from the ldapAttributesToPortalAttributes
[15:25:54 CST(-0600)] <edalquist> if the LDAP attribute DAO is on the only one you're using
[15:26:51 CST(-0600)] <faizan> ok
[15:30:13 CST(-0600)] <faizan> how abou the the left side user attribute? Is it coming from Portlet.xml and If I want I can add more attribute
[15:30:25 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yes, it is coming from the portlet.xml
[15:30:29 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> just edit it and you'll get more
[15:30:56 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> you should be able to do it without restarting the portal, just clear the portlet application definition cache via the cache manager the admin sses
[15:30:58 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> sees*
[16:18:08 CST(-0600)] <faizan> Excellent
[16:18:27 CST(-0600)] <faizan> Eric I am leaving from the office need tot ake my son to the doc
[16:18:41 CST(-0600)] <faizan> Are you going to get to PAGS today
[16:18:50 CST(-0600)] <faizan> if you will then I will try it tonight
