Standup programmer meeting jan25 2008 Jon - Looking at bugs, sak-937 and 1500, roster tool not showing up. QA has tested this once as sak-937. Can't figure out yet why the tool not showing up.

From Kirk: We did all the work to bring up the single node RAC configuration this morning but after starting 3 application nodes successfully we hit a problem connecting the 4th server. The database went into high load (> 75) and the 4th node started getting DEADLOCK errors. Initial assumption is something to do with RAC memory or database connection configuration. We therefore fell back successfully to Caje (which had been running all along). Normal production environment is now back up.…

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.
