exceptions

The exception page is telling the user he needs MANAGE_REPOSITORY privilege. This seems correct to me.  I think this is working as expected.

Could you please look into "exceptional page" attachment. It seems a little bit "ugly" to show the exception on a page.

Per triage, target 3.2

Looking at this again. For a private repo owned by the current user perhaps import should work.  For a global repo the permission exception is acceptable for now. When the page is converted to SmartGWT then we should implement button enablement as needed.

OK, never mind.  Repositories->Import is used to Import a repo.  It looks at the existing content sources, lets you select one, one then import a repo offered by that content source.  This *should* require MANAGE_REPOSITORIES because that perm is required to manipulate content sources at all.

So, this is working as expected.  As mentioned above, when reimplementing this in SmartGWT the button enablement should be handled better.

Recommend close this.

(11:23:55 AM) ccrouch: jshaughn: i agree this should be part of the gwt-ification of these pages. I still think its reasonable as something to consider  as part of jon32
(11:24:01 AM) ccrouch: i'll add another comment
(11:26:46 AM) jshaughn: what is reasonable?
(11:27:01 AM) ccrouch: the gwt-ification
(11:27:26 AM) jshaughn: +1 these pages should be converted
(11:27:37 AM) jshaughn: perhaps new or re-purposed bz for that
(11:27:49 AM) jshaughn: but the SLSB code seems correct to me.
(11:28:19 AM) ccrouch: so...
(11:28:19 AM) ccrouch: if/when these pages are converted we just need to make sure this particular use case works as expected, with no exception logged to the user
(11:29:00 AM) jshaughn: well, the button would be disabled.  But if you use a remote client you should get the exception

Setting this back to new. It will be addressed when the content pages are converted over to gwt.
