Mavenized KFS Distribution Available on GitHub

leo — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 08:27:41 +0000

IntroductionI have been getting a good deal of feedback lately about the Convert Your KFS Distribution to Maven post. I was really hoping the repository of the source would be made available publicly, but it was not. I decided that with some refinements I had been planning for the Maven/KFS distribution, I would release the next distribution publicly on GitHub.Now I have done so. You may not reach my new-and-improved Maven distribution of KFS 4.1.1 on GitHub. The official kfs-maven site can be found here.

Kuali Parameterized ValueFinder Implementation

leo — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 05:30:34 +0000

OverviewSometimes it is necessary to dynamically build a values finder based on some outside influence (sometimes another values finder). This is how to create a value finder that uses input from another source. I am going to use an example where we want to give a list of available mileages for a user to select from. We only want to show mileages to the user based on the date their travel arrangements are made during. If we don't limit in this way, the number of available mileages to choose from will be infinite and indistinguishable. What we need is a list of mileages based on a date determined by the trip information already in the form. This is how we do that.Steps1. Create a JstlFunctions class with static methodspackage org.kuali.kfs.module.tem.web;

Current KIM Refactoring Documentation

leo — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 15:24:42 +0000

OverviewThere are 2 ways to add objects to KIM.

Rice User Interface
SQL insert statements when building the application

. Since Kuali is venturing into the use of liquibase, I have put together custom refactorings that simplify adding objects to KIM and other Rice modules.Using SQLThis is how one would normally create an attribute, create a responsibility, add the responsibility to a role, and add an attribute to a responsibility.Example-- International Travel Reviewer Nodeinsert into krim_rsp_t (rsp_id, nmspc_cd, nm, actv_ind, rsp_tmpl_id, ver_nbr, obj_id)values(krim_rsp_id_s.nextval, 'KFS-TEM', 'Review', 'Y', 1, 1, sys_guid());

Project Updates and the Coming Onslaught of Documentation

leo — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 15:54:59 +0000

I have been working on improving the documentation in the projects surrounding liquibase. That's right. The changes aren't all just for looks. A lot of documentation that is going out to wikis will be updated on the official project pages first.

New GitHub Project

OverviewThese are some instructions for developers using the lb-maven-plugin on how to test your changelogs to verify they work on varying database platforms before committing changes to your VCS.SetupI'm going to assume you have already installed the lb-maven-plugin.
