Re: [uportal-dev] SmartLdap thread leak
As a relatively new adopter, I already feel like I face something like 50 configuration files scattered over a tree of uPortal core and portlets, plus a mirrored tree of overlays, plus issues related to desiring different overlay trees for each of 4 environments so that configurations can propogate from Dev to Test to QA to Prod. Or, so that a test environment portal can be configured to talk to a test environment active directory service, while the production portal talks to the production AD service. I've long since given up the notion that I might memorize which features are in which files. (Grep is my friend.) I see both Drew and Cris's points - it is two views of the same data. Both make sense depending on the task at hand. Either way, it's one or three config files. I can say early on I knew of SmartLdap being a feature. I only just now heard of Quartz. My experience is just an anecdote. I don't know if this perspective is helpful. For those who have worked with many sites, which is the more likely feature to be encountered first? Is it perhaps better to make the earliest features the easiest features? The most commonly used features the easiest features? Gatting back to "grep is my friend", if I search on a feature's name, do I get hits on all of it's configuration items? Does each SmartLdap item have "SmartLdap" in its name?

Re: [uportal-dev] uPortal 3.2.2 load issues
We did a load test last month against 3.2.1 with patches that lead up to 3.2.2. It looked as though we could support about 250 users per node with our configuration averaging around 2.5 seconds of page generation time measured right at the host. We used 300 different student accounts in the test, 50 faculty accounts, and 50 staff accounts. We focused primarily on loading fragments, not interacting with a specific portlet. We launched that way, so I don't have any other versions to compare against. On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 11:36 AM, Benito J.

It's UP-2726. https://issues.jasig.org/browse/UP-2726 Drew Wills had mentioned the feature to me. I wasn't too sure based on UP-2726 if that was it, but he confirmed it to me a few minutes ago. Anyways, the potential we had talked about was that we could layout a fragment with a number of tabs and portlets and then users could choose to add those pre-configured fragments.

Re: [uportal-dev] option to switch between default/mobile themes feature
On a related note, I noticed that if you go to ESPN's web site with an iPad, it asks you if you want the regular site or their mobile site. I've noticed an iPad poses some problems with the regular non-mobile interface, such as you cannot drag portlets around and tab menu's act funny. The mobile interface might work better on an iPad, but the iPad certainly has the display room for the regular site. The ability to switch between the two interfaces might be rather handy.

The goal of using the exact same build is appealing, but invading the build during deployment to find and replace configuration values is not. My preference would be to read values from configuration files that were external to the build. A nice example of this is Tomcat. We can deploy a CATALINA_BASE separate from the Tomcat software and the environment variable tells Tomcat where to find it. Tomcat's configuration files are not embedded in with the code. Chief among my concerns is establishing a demarcation point between operational and engineering roles. SysAdmins (operations) need to be able to edit some parts of the configuration, such as to change a host name for a database server. I don't think it is appropriate for SysAdmins to be editing files deep within a build, but clearly they're used to editing configuration files in /etc, for instance. A positive side-effect of this approach is that having separate configurations for different runtime environments -- using the same build -- is usually easy. -- Bruce Tong Software Engineer Office of Information Technology Ohio University -- You are currently subscribed to uportal-dev@lists.ja-sig.org as: arch...@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/uportal-dev
Re: [uportal-dev] user/group layout/fragment data in uPortal
I do have a couple of local issues where we'd like to run reports against user layouts in order to understand what our user base has customized. Most of the need is not time sensitive, so calling upon an API would probably be okay. The only thing I could see vaguely being time sensitive is the notion of a portlet that ranked the popularity of other portlets, but even that could run in the background and be cached. For no good reason, other than having been bitten by another system here used to store its data as XML in a database, I've not been a fan of that approach, but you folks are far more current on the issues than I am. That system here that stored XML had lots of trouble trying to support reporting later. It couldn't match the flexibility and speed of a database query.

I've seen similar in our portal but I have not looked into the cause. All I'd managed to divine up until now was a theory that it had something to do with going to a focused view, having the session expire, and then trying to interact with the focused view and getting redirected to a focused view of the login screen, which renders nothing, so you just get portlet framing. -- Bruce Tong Software Engineer Office of Information Technology Ohio University -- You are currently subscribed to uportal-dev@lists.ja-sig.org as: arch...@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/uportal-dev
Re: [uportal-dev] Popular portlets portlet

I suspect a single portlet would cover both Admins and non-Admins, even if I had to list the portlet twice with a different portlet preference/parameter to turn on/off features.

Re: [uportal-dev] Recommend SASS for CSS development
I'm not familiar with it, so my perspective on SASS could be completely ludicrous. When I see technologies strongly suited to the graphic arts become more programmatic, I worry that the skill set related to it might move from those people to programmers. We already program in something like four languages and there is an industry-wide shortage of programmers. Does SASS raise the bar further or can persons of the graphic arts be as equally effective with it as CSS? If it does raise the bar, does a more programmatic approach really take the industry where it needs to go? I don't want to resist change -- I might find SASS to be really cool -- though I do worry about the big picture not just for uPortal, but other applications as well that universities develop, maintain, and deploy. I'm curious about your perspectives.

Re: [uportal-dev] Recommend SASS for CSS development
I hate to keep posting. Y'all have no-doubt thought through all of this already. I talked with a couple of our graphic artists about SASS. They were intrigued by the new ideas SASS brings to the table, and there were some observations that may, or may not, apply to the portal. They usually work in sites that are far less complex that the portal's CSS. * Since SASS builds CSS, it would make some of their tools useless, like Dreamweaver. Only a couple of them use tools like that. Others work in text files. * Using Firebug to work with the resulting CSS would require mental work to translate it back to SASS. For a simple site, that's no big deal. Then again, for a simple site, CSS was probably okay. * For the portal, where programmers seem to do all the layout work (here), fitting it into the build process is no big deal. For many of the things they support there is no chance to mix it into a build process. They would have to make their own build process. For some, that would be possible. For others it would certainly be a change to their normal work flow. I don't know if that helps anyone or not, but I wanted their perspective.

There's a command line interface, cool. Does git have anything like svn:externals?

Re: [uportal-dev] [VOTE] Move uPortal source to GitHub
Err, actually, now that I think of it, we use svn:externals locally against the JASIG svn repository, and locally we would remain using svn because that's the university's repository. I'd probably end up scripting the git commands for our build process. Then I'd use git commands if I were working on a patch for a community portlet. This isn't a 4:30pm puzzle.

Assuming that 3.2.x remained on SVN and 4.0+ was on GIT, I'd end up figuring out all of the differences as part of the project effort to migrate from 3.2.x to 4.0+. Going to 4.0 is already a project I'm already expecting will take extra time, so I wouldn't be concerned. If all versions of uPortal move to GIT, I might have to figure the GIT stuff out as part of my existing release schedules. I didn't forecast that time, but sometimes that's life in the big city. I can't see JASIG waiting for a hundred schools to say "okay", though I do appreciate having windows of opportunity as I have more responsibilities other than the portal and it is a bummer when deadlines coincide. Wrapping GIT in my build process should be possible even though my school will stick with SVN. I'd have to remove the svn:externals part and probably replace it with some kind of script that called on some GIT tagging feature. I don't have enough disk space to make my own local uPortal SVN repository with git-svn to prop up the svn:externals feature. -- Bruce Tong Software Engineer Office of Information Technology Ohio University -- You are currently subscribed to uportal-dev@lists.ja-sig.org as: arch...@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/uportal-dev
[uportal-dev] FrameworkMBeanImpl
I'm playing around with jmxterm pulling various MBean attributes. It's both neat and easy. I've bumped into something that has me puzzled. Consider this configuration... org.jasig.portal.ChannelManager.threadPool_initialThreads=150 org.jasig.portal.ChannelManager.threadPool_maxThreads=150 ... and then when I ask the MBean for the max number of rendering threads, I get... ChannelRendererMaxActiveThreads = 13; 13? I expected 150. I'm playing with 3.2.5+. I've not really looked at uPortal internals before, so I'm probably in left field, but it looks like both of those 150 values will get to a subclass of ThreadPoolExecutor. -- Bruce Tong Software Engineer Office of Information Technology Ohio University -- You are currently subscribed to uportal-dev@lists.ja-sig.org as: arch...@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/uportal-dev

I don't know very much about that part of uPortal and I don't feel I'm able to comment with any confidence on the technical merits of the patch.

Re: [uportal-dev] Portlet preferences
Oh, I'm with you now. Once deployed, you can use the "Portlet Manager" to create, edit, or delete any of the values that you would normally find in the XML, including portlet preferences. I'm not sure where to tell you to look for the "Portlet Manager" as I'm always in a customized UI, though I suspect you'll find it probably with other Admin features. Once you get it running, use the Search area to type in the name of the portlet, find it in the list, and click it's "edit" link. After that, you'll have to play with the workflow a little to get the hang of editing values in each of the categories and then reviewing and saving your changes.

Re: [uportal-dev] Notifications/Alerts/Announcements
I'm not sure this kind of stuff perfectly matches your request, or not, but... (A) If we are talking about having many notification portlets in a portal, each specific to certain content/sources, then... (A1) When a portlet has one or more things to be considered a notification, that the portlet be adorned with a badge indicating how many notifications are associated with that portlet (A2) When a tab on which one or more portlets with notifications, the tab be adorned with a badge indicating the total number of notifications. (A3) A portlet with a notification could have some alternative coloring for its chrome. For instance, if the portlet's chrome is normally a dark green, it might be a brighter green when it has a notification. (A4) A tab containing portlets with notifications could have some alternative coloring for the tab. (B) If we're talking about having a single notifications portlet that assembles a great many notifications from many sources, then I'm not sure how I'd like it to behave. On one hand I like having all the notifications in one portlet so you only have to look in one place, but on the other hand it will be a collection of unrelated notifications and there will not be enough screen real estate to surround it with portlets of similar content. For instance, does a "Your overage check is available" notification appear on a "Home" tab along with things like email, or does it appear on an "Accounts" tab along with other billing and financial aid content? (C) Something I've been considering is how to co-op Facebook with our Portal. In effect, our students have already largely chosen Facebook as their personal portal. What they have suggested to me is to offer a "My OHIO" application in Facebook, which integrates with our portal and turns portal content into Facebook application notifications. The end result would be that students would see notifications in Facebook, click on them, be taken to the facebook "My OHIO" application (hosted on our portal), see the notifications, and then be able to click through right into the portal to do something about the notification. In effect, the Facebook application would be an extension of our portal and lead students to the portal. -- Bruce Tong Software Engineer Office of Information Technology Ohio University -- You are currently subscribed to uportal-dev@lists.ja-sig.org as: arch...@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/uportal-dev

Re: [uportal-dev] Proposal: Remove $Revision$ from all source
I'll miss them, but only from a nostalgia standpoint. If those kinds of values are stored in strings, as opposed to comments, there are UNIX commands that can find them and report the current version of each module in an executable. That was handy in cases where a system/service administrator had some release management issues. It was also sometimes handy when working with vendors in trying to determine what patch level a product was at when for some reason the IT department had lost track of patches applied.
