Security issue 

Update from Jim Blake on the issue discovered by Arve Solland from Griffith last week. Also: what Griffith is doing with page-caching.

Are you using Java 7 yet?

 (Jim) It's time. It's past time. I just modified the build script to require Java 7. So if you are working from the "develop" branch, get out there and start using diamond notations, try-with-resources, multi-catch clauses, and all of that fine stuff. Go wild.

Notable implementation and development list traffic


New
  • (Rohan) Query efficiency in Map of Science visualization – getPublicationsWithJournalForAllSubOrganizations
    • (Tim) The Map Of Science visualization does not include any date-time information for the user, but the query retrieves the publication date.  Are the publication dates being used in the background somehow -- for example, do you only map publications from the last 10 years? If you're not using the date, there's no need to get the date information. If the publication date is being used somehow, you might want to consider removing the optional clause, which makes the query more inefficient.  The query won't return publications that have no date, but you may not be mapping those anyway. Similarly, do you need to get the journal uri and label inside an optional clause?  Since publications are mapped based on the journal name, there doesn't seem to be a reason to fetch those which haven't been linked to a journal since they can't be mapped. One other question: are you using SPARQL constructs to build a model and querying against that? Or are you querying directly against the database?
  • (Mark) Bug in Tomcat 7 for Ubuntu – source of the "There is no <whatever> content in your VIVO" problem from last week
    • (Jim) Re-installing an old Tomcat should fix your current problem.  Or you might look for a newer version of Tomcat. Such an egregious bug will surely be fixed quickly. I'm glad that this turns out to not be a bug in VIVO, per se. However, it's obvious that we need to make it easier to isolate and diagnose this sort of problem. As a first step, I have started a wiki page with suggestions for troubleshooting this sort of issue.
Still open
  • (Kelly) Harvester duplicates and speed issues for pulling from PubMed
