  • Finished up the slideshow create screen and some error checks for when a dashboard has been deleted but still exists in a slideshow
  • Started on the slideshow controls and a slideshow canvas.  The controls fit nicely by the logo near the top.  For running a slideshow, I’m planning on creating a new canvas atop the work area and covering all controls while the slideshow is running.  I’ll load all slides up front (we’ll see how well that works) and create a view stack.  This should allow for smooth transitions between slides and save window positions while flipping between slides.  I will disable the ability to close panels but they can still be moved (depending on the layout manager) and minimized/maximized.

  • Server Loggging works
    • log4j.properties, remoting-config.xml needed to be corrected
    • using com.fgm.javaUtils.logging.VisibilityLogger for LogRemoteObject, not sure if separate ones are needed for separate servlets.
  • Dump three sql files from project_portfolio and added to scripts directory
    • project_portfolio_clean.sql for clean install
    • project_portfolio_inserts.sql for updating data
    • project_portfolio_update.sql for updating structure and data

  • Fixed the category problem in employees_std. Talked to Mike C about developing an automated way to do this. Will start doing a daily manual set of the details xml. Later, I’ll do this in a script
  • Adding user management to the scripting server – done and checked in.
  • Asked Dong to use javaUtils rather than recreate log4j and properties classes

  • working from home
  • reinstalled the Flex Builder plugin for Eclipse Galileo
    • links/com.adobe.flexbuilder.feature.core.link file is missing “path=” at the beginning of the line!
  • exported com.edgeti.Uilts package from Visibility2 to com.fgm.ServletUtils
  • SQLScriptRunner runs as java app, converting it to Servlet
  • Troubleshooting Servlet crashing hard with Tomcat…..
    • turned out web.xml had duplicate lines
    • fixed and deploys good now
    • logs/SQLScriptRunner.log visible
    • on to actual interface implementation!

  • More attempting to build Dong’s Project, getting closer
  • Now that the back end code for slide shows are working I tried to move to the drag and drop interface for creating slide shows.  However, my database was wiped at one point so I tried refilling it with fake data.  Now something is throwing a null pointer exception somewhere, catching it, and not logging it.  The fake roles look correct in the database but won’t load in to the AccountManager GUI and I can’t create a user without the roles so I’m stuck in a giant rabbit hole.

  • Helped John Williams out a bit with generating some unusual tables
  • Changed the employees_standard table to reflect the new organization of the data. Had a talk with Mike C. about automatically generating details xml files
  • After plugging in my computer, found it running *really* slowly. Deleting my trash (25,025 items) to see if that speeds things up.
  • Need to talk to Dong about backticking Ingest Manager – done
  • Apparently, I left of 11 employee classification types. Need to fix that tomorrow.
  • Adding user management to scripting

  • refresh () in onCreateComplete in FinancialDataCanvas causing the data view update twice…. Fixed now and it’s lot faster.
  • Changed FinancialDataDGItemRenderer to highlight the current month’s $ cells only. Removed whole column highlight
  • highlight the cells that fails the criterias
    • less than 90% of next cell
    • no in previous cell
  • cells with comments generate red borders?

  • Started writing test cases to help debug and ensure the slideshow database code was working.  Banged my head against a very weird foreign key issue for many hours… Inserts were throwing an error using the JDBC connection but working fine from the MYSQL workbench.  I could even step through with the debugger, copy and paste the query to mysql right before it ran in java and it would execute fine.  The internet was no help so in my flailing I changed the table engine type from MyISAM to InnoDB and it worked…
  • Now I have a set of very nice test cases and all the methods listed in my previous posted are tested and working.
  • Tried to build Dong’s ProjProtfolioMgrClient, finally got connected to the new maven repo but still having build problems

  • Fix ServerLog – done. The problem is the changeout of the remote object to the javautils package. Had to generalize a bit.
  • Fix PublishServlet – done
  • Demo prep (screenshots) – done
  • Demo. Went well, I think. One of the lab PMs liked the demonstration enough that he wanted a copy for his lab
