Hello all,
First of all, keep up the good work on Orion, it's a fine J2EE
server! Having pounded on it a lot lately, I wanted to share
some findings and ask the community and developers for
clarification....
1) I have used a javax.sql.DataSource (JDBC, no pooling)
and com.evermind.sql.DefaultConnectionPoolDataSource
successfully - getting access to them via JNDI. I then am
able to perform authentication via db.getConnection(login, pwd).
However, the authentication portion does not work when I
use com.evermind.server.ejb.EJBDataSource. It lets
anyone get a connection. Isn't this a bug in your EJBDataSource
class?
2) Also, I have tried to turn on the RMI server (for remote
clients to the EJB's). I uncomment the appropriate tag in
server.xml and then add the correct host to rmi.xml. But
it seems like I can put any ole bogus name in for the host
and it doesn't complain (when I just do it locally). Seems to
me that the RMI server is never starting? What am I
missing?
3) The <classpath> entry in web-application.xml doesn't appear
to be completely working. I have added a directory there for my
beans to see and it's not working. I have to still copy all my helper
classes to c:\orion\beans (where my EJB's are) - rather than keeping
in some other directory.
4) How about Entity Beans. I need to add the "WHERE"
clause for custom finder methods (see the EJB 1.1 spec).
I don't see any utility in Orion to do so. The EJB spec
says, even with Container Managed Persistence, the
application deployment tool is where this should be done
(e.g., WHERE "OPRID" = ?1). Is this an area that Orion
still has yet to fulfill?
Thanks for any input as I am new to the Orion server.
Again, kudos to your dedicated work.
Regards,
Gregory
