Mike – Week of 7/20/09

  • Finished up logging changes, wrote short guide, provided support for changes
  • Created log in screen and connected it to user management remote object
  • Connected the save / load feature to the remote object

Monday Log (7.20.2009)

7:30 – 3:30

  • Meeting with Anne, John, Mike C, Brian and I re: data entry of HR info in new and improved ways. As a side note, MC and I discussed building a rosterbillet.xml file to see how that would work.
  • Meged with the current tree. Lots of hand waving. For example, the remoting-config.xml file did not update properly, and we had a hellofa time with updating until we had deleted all the target files.
  • Going to start on a having UsersAndRoles returning a tree of dashboards

Friday Log (7.15.2009)

7:30 – 4:00
•    Need to update the creation of the _userCollection to reflect active roles. Should be able to use the userInfoObject’s list of role IDs and match to the role info that’s stored in the FlexTreeObject data object. Done!
•    Send status to Brian – done
•    Talked with Dong about roles, data, users and bridging tables.
•    Need to handle add, delete, and modify users.
•    com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException: Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (`users_and_roles`.`table_role_user`, CONSTRAINT `table_role_user_delete_user` FOREIGN KEY (`user`) REFERENCES `table_users` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE – I think this was because I was using user id=999 ad a default. Fixed now.
•    AddUser now works. Need to handle updateUser

Thursday Log (7.16.2009)

7:30 – 5:00

  • Deployed over at the Fort
  • Had a talk with Mike C about data dictionaries and the like
  • Wrote up a more detailed schedule (more of a task list, really) for Anne.
  • Wrote up a weekly status for John Williams
  • Worked on getting roles for users showing up as trees. Based on the earlier discussion with Mike C, role hierarchies are going to be large and mutable. We’ll need to be able to add nodes, remove nodes, move nodes around and change their names. Without changing the id number, which would invalidate all the user/roles and data/roles that we will have set up
  • Got UserInfoObjects built on the Java side and coming over to Flex. Now I need to update the creation of the _userCollection to reflect this. With luck, I can use the ArrayCollection directly

Mike – Week of 7/13/09

  • Finalized a lot of the current layout managers (Cascade and Vertical)
  • Started work on saving panels off in xml format and loading them back in
  • Created a new Flex Project to house our main application (named vis2 instead of GenericQueryTest)
  • Starting to standardize the logging to use log4j

Wednesday Log (7.15.2009)

7:30 – 3:30

  • 10:00 meeting with TST/ESSO today at 2b5060
  • Meeting with Anne – wrote up a pass at her business plan
  • Need to finish the Flex side of update password, add user, delete user
  • Need to add message handleing code to the MUManager  methods that call callListeners, and ass a switch() statement to the listeners to handle the different results coming back
  • Bob – 410-561-8161

Tuesday Log (7/14/09)

8:00 – 4:30

  • Deployed data at Fort
  • Sent our edge tasking spreadsheet to Ann and John, and injested it
  • Had a bitch of a time getting the new Flex code stuck under maven
  • Reworking the data objects so that they have listeners for when data chnges. Listeners provide a callback function when data is changed. This way, each data object can be pretty well self contained.
