Re: PAT biserver plugin

[Paul Stoellberger]

Hi Rob,

thanks for trying the PAT plugin.
Unfortunately it doesn't work with the 3.5.x versions of the biserver. We had to introduce some plugin infrastructure to the biserver to make it work, which is only available in TRUNK and won't be part of the 3.5 releases.

We expect a new major release of the biserver (3.6 or whatever they'll name it), with the needed code, in March. Doug promised he'll try to have a Release Candidate out in mid-march.
Until then you need to download a SNAPSHOT from ci: http://ci.pentaho.com/view/Platform/job/BISERVER-CE/

We're currently improving the last bits and pieces and then release PAT 0.6

I plan to offer following packages to users:
Standalone:
- PAT 0.6 WAR
- PAT 0.6 + tomcat package

Plugin:
- PAT 0.6 Plugin.zip
- PAT 0.6 Plugin + SNAPSHOT biserver package

This way it will be more convenient for users to test the plugin

Ok I take it back,

I was building a plugin for 0.6 and I got a Session error with the
latest BI CI. So I'll take a look at that this week before we ship
another test version.

Cheers

public static String getCurrentUserId() {
if (standaloneMode) {

SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(standaloneAuth);
}
return
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getName();

}

Basically thats throwing an NPE, something must have changed.

Well after a bit more investigation it looks like there is a
dependency on slf4j which wasn't in the old plugin, anyway it sorta
started working but didn't. So you're the master at this so you can
fix it tomorrow ;)
