[11:20:16 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> fyi: http://mou.me.uk/2009/10/31/fixing-eclipse-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/
[11:23:33 EST(-0500)] <lennard1> did you run into the same issue eric?
[11:23:52 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yes
[11:23:59 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> as did several other people here
[11:24:15 EST(-0500)] * lennard1 has not yet moved his dev env over yet.
[11:24:27 EST(-0500)] <lennard1> was going to give it another month
[11:32:15 EST(-0500)] <athena> hm, i still need to set that up on my desktop
[11:32:26 EST(-0500)] <athena> by the way EricDalquist, i'm still seeing those session errors in the logs
[11:32:33 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hrm
[11:32:37 EST(-0500)] <athena> though i haven't gotten a user-visible error from it since i applied that patch
[11:32:42 EST(-0500)] <athena> so it seems like it's at least better
[11:32:46 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah and gary is reporting them for 2.5
[11:32:52 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> probably for AJAX requests too
[11:33:00 EST(-0500)] <athena> is gary's exactly the same?
[11:33:39 EST(-0500)] <athena> i actually don't think it is
[11:34:00 EST(-0500)] <athena> i think the issue he's reporting was fixed in 2.6 or 3.0
[11:34:16 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok

[13:42:25 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> So, I'm trying to get Web Proxy Portlet to work in uPortal 3.1.x patches branch (latest revision as of this morning). I have behavior occurring now, that after I enter some data in a form in the proxied portlet (form action url is proxied), the result is an empty portlet.
[13:42:45 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> any error in the log?
[13:42:48 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> any guesses what might be wrong, or steps to debug
[13:42:53 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> webproxy log?
[13:42:56 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[13:43:55 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> let me retry, there wasn't earlier, but who knows something might have changed
[13:45:43 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> i'm getting a http://uportal.pastebin.com/m6499694
[13:46:21 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> what's odd, is I saw that error earlier and tried to debug it, when images weren't being proxied.
[13:46:45 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> when I stepped through with a debugger, i couldn't reproduce. when I turned the debugger off, the problem (with images) seem to be gone
[13:46:48 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hrm, yeah looks like a problem with the proxying of what the portlet thinks is non-rewritable URLs
[13:47:07 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> do you have empty session path enabled in tomcat?
[13:47:11 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> yes
[13:49:29 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hrm, I don't know. we ran into some issues here with how binary content was proxied and made some changes about a month ago
[13:49:43 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I've actually been working on getting those back into the portlet last week
[13:49:48 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and will do more on that tonight
[13:49:57 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> perhaps it is a bug in the portlet itself
[13:50:08 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> there's at least one bug with the CPD
[13:50:26 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> there's a portlet preference that ends with sPortletState that doesn't get set
[13:54:05 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> :/
[13:54:21 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I know it isn't much consolation for 3.1 but I'm really hoping to get it cleaned up for 3.2
[13:54:32 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> spending a fair bit of time getting CONFIG PortletMode working
[13:54:38 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so there is a sane UI to set the thing up
[13:55:11 EST(-0500)] <holdorph> yeah, that would help. there's way too much 'business logic' that goes on between those portlet preferences, for the current channel manager to handle
[13:55:57 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yes
[13:55:58 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> there is
[13:56:56 EST(-0500)] <athena> how' the config mode stuff going?
[13:57:01 EST(-0500)] <athena> i got plenty of uses for that already (smile)
[13:57:15 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it is going
[13:57:20 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I have it working
[13:57:21 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> mostly
[13:57:27 EST(-0500)] <athena> wooo
[13:57:38 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I still need to figure out how to do the servant style stuff
[13:57:46 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that's how we had it working here in 2.5
[13:57:46 EST(-0500)] <athena> we probably need to go through the list of jiras and figure out which things we're really goign to do for 3.2
[13:57:50 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[13:57:56 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> one of the many things to od
[13:57:58 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> do
[13:58:00 EST(-0500)] <athena> indeed (tongue)
[14:49:03 EST(-0500)] * colinclark (n=colin@142.150.154.101) has joined ##uportal
[16:13:49 EST(-0500)] * mmchunt1 (n=mmchunt@yale128036187130.its.yale.edu) has left ##uportal
[16:36:05 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> athena: when did we add CAS proxy ticket support for portlets?
[16:39:05 EST(-0500)] <athena> 3.0?
[16:39:08 EST(-0500)] <athena> i think?
[16:39:25 EST(-0500)] <athena> could check the age of the CasProxyTicketUserInfoService
[16:39:37 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah it is 3.0
[16:39:44 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> is there any documentation on how to use that?
[16:39:51 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> all I found was http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/PLT/Portlets+using+Proxy+CAS
[16:41:39 EST(-0500)] <athena> hm, i don't know
[16:42:12 EST(-0500)] <athena> there are a couple portlets that implement proxy-cas code that could be used as an example
[16:42:16 EST(-0500)] <athena> that's probably the closest we have
[16:42:39 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[16:43:04 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I just sent "Re: [uportal-user] CASifying the Web proxy portlet" to the user list, could you respond as well and maybe point to one of those portlets?
[16:43:41 EST(-0500)] <athena> i've already talked to adam about it and he's already shared most of the necessarily high-level steps with them
[16:43:45 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[16:43:58 EST(-0500)] <athena> in orginally came in as a coop support case so he'd replied to the smaller thread before it was on-list
[16:44:04 EST(-0500)] <athena> but i can ask him to reply on-list as well
[16:45:31 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> thanks (smile)
[16:45:36 EST(-0500)] <athena> yep
[16:47:47 EST(-0500)] <athena> it'd be great if they helped get that code written
[16:48:00 EST(-0500)] <athena> i think that's our last missing feature from CWebProxy
[16:48:04 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[16:48:14 EST(-0500)] <athena> speaking of which, i need to check in drew's test app
[16:48:15 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> any word from Drew or Andrew on a mini CAS webapp?
[16:48:19 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> (smile)
[16:48:20 EST(-0500)] <athena> oh it's finished
[16:48:29 EST(-0500)] <athena> maybe i can get that checked in tonight
[16:48:36 EST(-0500)] <athena> i need to commit a bunch of other code too
[16:48:44 EST(-0500)] <athena> been working on screencasts for educause the last few evenings
[16:48:52 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> fun fun
[16:49:09 EST(-0500)] <athena> i think we could repurpose some of those for the jasig site
[16:49:24 EST(-0500)] <athena> just demos of uportal itself, the mobile interface, and a few portlets
[16:50:02 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> sounds great
[16:51:41 EST(-0500)] <athena> yeah
[16:52:00 EST(-0500)] <athena> maybe someone can add a voiceover and some intros or something
[16:52:07 EST(-0500)] <athena> but not un-useful as-is
