[10:20:47 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> EricDalquist: do you see any need for the Functional Tests portlet to come out of incubation as a fully sponsored project? Does it do anything for that portlet to have that status?

[10:20:59 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> probably not

[10:21:05 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it is just an internal project for uPortal

[10:21:12 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that we add tests to to verify functionality

[10:21:24 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> I was thinking of recommending we just take it out of the incubation process.

[10:21:35 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> fine by me

[10:21:52 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> rather then do all the rest of the things it needs like a roadmap (smile)

[10:22:07 CDT(-0500)] <holdorph> ok, i have an incubation meeting today, I'll make the recommendation to the group.

[10:22:10 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok

[11:26:33 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> 'morning EricDalquist – https://github.com/drewwills/uPortal/tree/uportal-java-api

[11:26:51 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hi drewwills

[11:26:58 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'll take a look this afternoon

[11:27:03 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> lots of little fires today (tongue)

[11:27:36 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> thanks

[13:22:30 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> drewwills: that looks great

[14:14:08 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> Thanks fo looking EricDalquist...

[14:14:17 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> once I get this shared portlet level app context working

[14:14:26 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it would be doable to expose this as a spring bean

[14:15:10 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> i think, then, this will work – i'll use what I have for SSP to make deadlines.... and work in parellel on a more polished version for uP

[14:15:26 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> great

[14:15:33 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> once the uP version is in, I'll update and drop the temp version

[14:15:52 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> would be cool to expose it as a spring bean

[14:17:02 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah

[14:17:34 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> you'd be able to have a:

[14:17:34 CDT(-0500)]

<EricDalquist> public class PermissionServiceBean implements PermissionService, PortletContextAware

Unknown macro: { ... }

[14:17:45 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it would just grab the reference out of the Portletcontext at init

[14:17:48 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and delegate to it

[14:17:58 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> then in your client app you can just autowire PermissionService

[14:18:14 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but we need a shared app context that has access to the PortletContext first

[14:18:16 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'm working on that

[14:18:29 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> there will be a spring-portlet-contrib library with it soon

[14:18:34 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and then it should end up in Spring 3.2

[14:19:17 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> nice... actually that's fantastic... i had discovered the concept of a shared app context a couple weeks back and put it on my mental list of things to explore, when I had the time (tongue)

[14:20:15 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah

[14:20:48 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> https://github.com/Jasig/spring-portlet-contrib

[14:22:10 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> also adds portlet filter beans

[14:22:22 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and JohnL was able to get me in touch with juergen

[14:22:28 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so this stuff will actually make it into spring proper

[14:23:08 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> any idea if groovy 2.0 is backwards compatible with groovy 1.8?
