Ernst:
Your tutorials are wonderful, and that is how I got started with Orion and J2EE. I
got the examplew to work, then I started to question the components.
1. What is Ant and how is this script functioning?
2. How do all these pieces in EJB land fit together?
And, like the questioning philosophers of old, I applied the same technique to all
parts. What is RMI, really, and what is happening between remote components? What
happens in a JNDI naming service and how does it work? Maybe I should stop these
questions. One ancient Greek philosopher walked into a live volcano, trying to prove
a philosophical theory, and poor Socrates actually took hemlock to prove a
philosophical point. But, honestly, these are excellent examples, and they are great
for bringing people to Orion and the J2EE world. Maybe these fine examples will make
their way to the new Orion manual (sorry, side effects from sampling Socrates'
hemlock).

Subject: New Orion Primer
A new version of the Orion Primer is available at:
* http://www.jollem.com/orion-primer/
This document is a step-by-step tutorial for J2EE newbies.
This version is based on an XML source document, an XSLT stylesheet is used
to convert the XML source document to HTML.
Please check that this document displays correctly in your browser. Future
versions of the "Orion CMP Primer" and the "Orion Security Primer" will be
based on the same XML structure and XSL stylesheet.
Any comments with respect to the look and feel of the new version are also
highly appreciated.
Last, but not least I would like to thank Magnus Rydin and Joseph Ottinger for
helping with the tutorials and stylesheet.
