Individual reports

Rod Spears

• Attended the Kepler UI design meeting in Santa Barbara

Current Work and Bugs:

• Bug 1594 - Impl revised Resultset XSD for all 3 platforms o The XSD has been changed and the resultset java classes have been generated o I have all 3 platforms converted over to use the new classes o DiGIR Resultset parser has been tested o Currently working on the generic transform from the Resultset to HTML for display purposes. At this time it doesn't look like the an XSLT transform will work due to the complexity of the new resultset set definition. I am sure it can be done, for now I think a simple DOM parser will be easier to maintain considering this will more than likely not be used in the final production mode.

Work This Week:

• Hopefully complete Bug 1594
• Start on Bug 1595 - Create Advance Query Builder UI

Important or Outstanding Issues (of a significant nature)

• Globus has moved on to version 3.2, this means it will be difficult to get support for 3.0.2 o They have deprecated the PersisentGridServiceImpl class and replaced it with GridServiceImpl o The have included a "simple CA" which I was able to generate a local certificate and get it working
• When we move to the next version of the Resultset we should consider moving to 3.2

I'll be devoting this entire week to SEEK as Aimee and I are undergoing some minor changes to the architecture and I'd like to get started on creating a more permanent web presence for the Taxon WG.

EnterProviderData is the next task on my list. Robert and I have met to discuss how best to implement data entry and modification and will expand our data model just slightly to accomodate this fundamentally different process (modifying as opposed to querying). Documentation will be created as we begin this API.
