Title: RE: Newbie - Am I going mad? Broken links on home page

Hiya,

 

Thanks to all that replied. Seems I'm not alone with my problem about switching from ASP/COM to JSP/Bean/EJB. Seems I'm also not alone in working till the wee hours. What is it about the IT industry? After 25 years I'm still up all hours on the "impossible deadline treadmill". Sigh. Still  - the pays good.

 

Secondly a big thanks to the Orion team. I've been investigating engines for the last six weeks and the rush by so many groups to produce J2EE and Servlet engines in general is amazing. And this team have done very, very well.

 

BTW, many people seem to be using later versions of Orion than the one from the download page. I presume there's a standard place where the "latest snapshot" can be found. Is this true?

 

The reason I ask is that sometimes when I modify a bean/servlet .java file into the WEB-INF/classes dir and reload the JSP page, I get a long stack trace that "seems" to indicate a problem with the code. I've discovered that if I reload another plain JSP page and then reload my page-that-calls--my-updated-bean, it suddenly works. This may be an old bug/feature that has been fixed in a later release. Which begs the question as to whether there is a simple page listing releases/bug fixes etc.

 

Kimbo.

Hi Kimberly,

Not sure if you noticed this already, but the link is actually http://www.orionserver.com/tutorials/tools/.  First time I've seen it though -- looks useful.  Kudos Orion team.




Darren.
