2 hours lost due to SF upgrade!

2 hours lost due to SF upgrade!

Well, I’m back from vacations in Cyprus (Protaras for sea, Kalopanagiotis for mountain) and I was going to add some new Tapestry components to my sf project, tapfx.

CVS access was not working however, and since it’s been a while since I’ve used it, i thought : ‘Hey, I must be doing something wrong here!’

So, I browsed the docs, and the first thing i see is that it’s advised not to have strange characters in your password (only letters and numbers) because the cvs might not handle them. So I thought, that’s it! I change the pass (from web), wait for 10 mins (for the change to propagate to cvs), try again, but nothing happens.

So, I figure, time to use public/private keys instead of passwords. I set everything up (was the first time i did so), and tried command line access, but again no success.

Somehow I tried different host names, i.e. cvs1.sf.net, cvs2.sf.net, and they allowed access, but this time, my files weren’t there. So, I go to the central SF page, to look for news, but i don’t find anything there. However, by complete accident, I click on Site Status and amongst others i see this:

Project CVS Service: Offline – Scheduled Downtime In-Progress

Ajax-ian thoughts…

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking on how to best
provide ajax functionality to $Tapestry$. The process seems to be as follows:

  • Create a component which takes a reference to a listener method.
  • Get the DirectLink URL for the listener
  • Have the component emit javascript (including the URL)
  • Using XmtHttpObject (and/or flavours) in javascript, get the contents of the
    previous url.
  • Translate the response (a String) into javascript actions.

Javascript Tutorials

I need to take a look at some advanced javascript tutorials, relating
to object handling, etc. This will enable me to resolve conflicts
when a $TapFX$ component is included many times in a page.
