7:30 – 4:00

• Updated data
• Discovered a bug with Uploader.java – it’s including the path as well as the filename when storing data in the upload directory
• Had some problems ingesting Anne’s new spreadsheet – columns with “-” and ” ‘ ” made mySQL choke without a good message to the user – had to go through the server log
• I showed Arron what was going on, and he has two suggestions:
  • Diff the code that we have now with code from early August and see what the difference is. It might be something obvious.
  • Change the connect() and disconnect() methods so that they re-use the connection if it exists. Add a terminate() method that calls connect() and then closses the connection at the end of the remote object call.
• Turns out that some browsers may store the entire path in the item name. Added some checks and am testing with Firefox, IE, and Opera
• Burned a new copy of VIS2
• Installed at the fort. Igestors now work! THe last remaining problem is that the auto ingestors need to work as a SYSTEM service
