Blog from April, 2007

Standup

Jon = the Original Muppet
Brian = Animal
Thomas = Beeker
Mike = Swedish Chef
James = Gonzo

the Original Muppet

  • Ready for deployment, sir!
  • Ready to deploy course management stuff, going through motions, have JIRA type topics for Brian, couple of things with MViews, but operational, probably slower than we could be
    • Did some improvements for speed
    • The only perf. hogs are status descriptions for schema and enrollment sets – the other one is Banner enrollment
      • Animal was working on Banner enrollment – one of the tables is complaining about not being able to convert a number, but it doesn't make sense.

Animal

  • Not too much CAS stuff today.
  • Fixing stuff for the Original Muppet.
    • T.O.M. has some tasks with enrollment for Animal...
  • Email back from Prabhu, who said he'd tried some stuff on the MViews, but it didn't pan out. Animal's waiting on having more access to db. Doesn't think the mat. views are going to last as they are now.

Beeker

  • Doing ehcache for us.
  • Last night finally figured out how to do it from a different file than ehcache.xml
  • For the Foundation one there are issues, fixing that right now.
    • one issue: there's only one datasource in sakai, so everyone should use that one, renaming necessary, etc.

Swedish Chef

  • External queries are working.
  • Got several new statistics.
  • Wondering when he can declare victory... it's a long list.

Gonzo

  • Working on SCORM Communication with content api
    • communication between presentation layer and content api thru ResourceToolActionPipe
  • SAK-572 – backporting Found. SAK-6990

Scorm Progress

Okay, so I've got the basic mapping in place for the SCORM_2004_DM and underlying classes... which covers the bulk of the datatypes under org.adl.datatypes.

A few changes were necessary to get the ADL code to play nicely with hibernate, which I think can be implemented as fairly global refactorings if we need to update the source code....

Also added mappings for most of the 'sequencer' domain classes

Modified domain model classes for hibernate mapping.
