As it
is at the moment you need make a jar containing remote and home interfaces by
your self. This needs to be deployed on the client. Also you need to make an
application-client.xml file in your meta-inf in the client jar and have a
jndi.properties file in the root catalog.
Since orion has no ligthwight library you must include
:
ejb.jar,orion.jar,jndi.jar,parser.jar,mail.jar,jaxp.jar,jdbc.jar
This is a
bit anoying as this means that you have to update the client for each new
release of orion. If you like me are running in applets it means lot
of files to download for before start (Modem users arn't to happy :-)). This can
be partly fixed by using the java-plugging cach
options.
As indicated
by an e-mail from Karl Alvdal of the Orion team earlier today they are
working on a lightwight library which will remedy
this.
As for makeing
jars with home and remote interfaces, it's easy to automate this task with
a shell-script, bat-file or using ant. The later is what we found
preferbal.

Subject: EJB stub classes and stand-alone remote java client
I've been trying to get my standalone java client to access EJBs on a remote machine, but with no luck. I've deployed a J2EE application with my EJBs in it. But I can't figure out how to generate the stub classes.I can't find the Orion tool to generate the stub classes that the client would normally reference from the CLASSPATH (as described in "Java 2 Enterprise Edition Developer's Guide" page 95). How do you generate the stub classes that enable the client to communicate with the enterprise bean? This is a simple thing to do with the deploytool that comes with Sun's J2EE Reference Implementation. During deployment you simply select a checkbox labelled "Return client Jar" when you deploy the application.I don't understand how the client can resolve the EJB classes if you don't have the client stubs to include in your CLASSPATH. I keep getting a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException exception.Also, what else do I need to deploy to my client machine, just orion.jar?Thanks,Paul Knepper
