[16:03:30 CST(-0600)] <jwennmacher> EricDalquist: uPortal 4.0x is supposed to work on tomcat 7?
[16:03:42 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> the latest release is yes
[16:03:45 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> so 4.0.10
[16:04:12 CST(-0600)] <jwennmacher> ahh that's right. A change was made to 4.0.10 for TC7.
[16:04:42 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[16:04:49 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> you can find the change in the git history
[16:04:51 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> it was non-trivial
[16:14:09 CST(-0600)] <jwennmacher> Hmmm... looks like the code I'm on is based off of 4.0.10.
[16:14:55 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> https://github.com/Jasig/uPortal/commit/3ba9ea671c4165266123054aed69aadb9ac62cd9
[16:14:58 CST(-0600)] <jwennmacher> I spent a good chunk of time trying to figure out a problem where I get 'AbstractMethodError' with a not-so-helpful stack trace that was due to uPortal trying to reflectively invoke a Servlet 3.0 method on PortletHttpServletRequestWrapper. It's still happening. Looks like it may be worth more time to figure out the actual issue.
[16:14:59 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> that is the change
[16:15:10 CST(-0600)] <jwennmacher> yep I was looking at it
[16:15:14 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> huh
[16:15:33 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> it shouldn't be trying to reflectively invoke it on the uPortal class
[16:15:42 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> it should fall back to the underlying tomcat class
[16:15:48 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> granted this was all a giant hack
[16:16:04 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> so I'm not terribly surprised that it might not work in all cases
