LDN - Luminis Developer Network

Here at the University of Ottawa, we did some calculations on the footprint of our Luminis page loads and we noticed that our average page load was just around 683KB with an empty cache (we've added a lot of new images, JavaScript and styles to Luminis). We did some calculations and we figured out that with an average of 4 page loads per minute under our max load of 10 000 concurrent users, we'd be pumping out just over 20GB of data per minute on the University network. Sufficed to say that scared us a little.

However, with a few tweaks here and there we were able to drop our average load to just around 250KB (that number should shrink even further with a few other tricks I have up my sleeve ;-) Here's what we did.

I am attempting to modify the footer in Luminis IV 4.0.1. I want to change the text of 'Copyright © SunGard Higher Education 1998 - 2007' to the name of our institution, and to replace the SunGard logo (doing that later) in the footer as well. So far, I have edited the nested-tables.properties file to the following:

COPYRIGHT=School Name

I also, after backing up, unpacked the luminis-resources-4.0.1.jar, edited the nested-tables.properties file within /org/jasig/portal/layout/tab-column/nested-tables directory the same as before, with COPYRIGHT=School Name.

As promised or at least commented on some time ago, I have created a screen cap tutorial for setting up a development environment in Eclipse. This is certainly not the only methodology, but it seems to work for me :)

Try it out and let me know.

• Download and setup
• Unit Testing
• Subversion

We recently successfully installed Luminis IV and after reading the channel development SDK, it talks about installing the luminis-sdk.4.0.0.jar file to get the ui-sdk.

I checked the luminis 4 for it and could not find it. Does any one know where the channel development kit (luminis-sdk.4.0.0.jar ) is available ? I had also posted the question to sungard and I am still waiting to hear from them.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks,

We use Eclipse for development and we use the compare functionality in Eclipse to process our Luminis customizations for upgrades. When comparing Jar files (like uPortal.jar) eclipse gives you a breakdown of what has changed in each of the files in the archive. This is a great feature, but it would not work for a car or war file. I did a bunch of searching and came up with the following change for comparing Car files structurally.

In the file org.eclipse.jdt.ui_3.2.1.r321_v20060907.jar (or what ever version of org.eclipse.jdt.ui you have) there is a plugin.xml file. In this file you need to add the “car” extension to line 1743 as follows:

This story will be referred to via other posts that Bill or I will(have) make as it contains a set of java packages that our various channels will utilise in the efforts of sharing code.

We also will be doing our best to populate this new code with JavaDoc comments so that you can view the documentation by going to http://jump.umanitoba.ca/doc.
