I ran into this with IE yesterday too. Since IE hit the page the first time, and displayed raw xml, it is probably cached. At least it was in my case.

Problem with welcom-file list
I am running into a problem with the welcome file list. I have mapped an extension to be ran through a particular servlet like this: servlet-mapping servlet-namedispatch/servlet-name url-pattern*.ojsp/url-pattern /servlet-mapping and defined 'dispatch' with all necessary parameters. I have defined the welcom-file list like this: welcome-file-list welcome-fileindex.ojsp/welcome-file /welcome-file-list When accessing http://localhost/portal, I get a 403 error, directory browsing not allowed. If I access http://localhost/portal/index.ojsp, it works fine. Can you add a mapped extension as a default page?

Device dependent xsl translation recommendation
As our organization continues to move forward with XML and XSL, it would be great if Orion provided a built in feature to allow for device dependent XSL translation, similar to Cocoon. This email lays out one possible approach. Forgive me if Orion already has something planned. My suggestion would be as follows. Allow a new set of tags in one of the config files, probably default-web-site.xml. The tags could look similar to this: xsl-mappings xsl-mapping nameexplorer/name useragentMSIE/useragent /xsl:mapping xsl-mapping namepocketexplorer/name useragentMSPIE/useragent /xsl:mapping xsl-mapping namehandweb/name useragentHandHTTP/useragent /xsl:mapping xsl-mapping nameavantgo/name useragentAvantGo/useragent /xsl:mapping xsl-mapping nameimode/name useragentDoCoMo/useragent /xsl:mapping xsl-mapping nameopera/name useragentOpera/useragent /xsl:mapping xsl-mapping namelynx/name useragentLynx/useragent /xsl:mapping xsl-mapping namejava/name useragentJava/useragent /xsl:mapping xsl-mapping namewap/name useragentNokia/useragent /xsl:mapping xsl-mapping namemozilla5/name useragentNetscape6/useragent /xsl:mapping xsl-mapping namenetscape/name useragentMozilla/useragent /xsl:mapping /xsl:mappings The 'name' is how you refer to the stylesheet in the appropriate JSP or XML file(See below). The 'useragent' is a substring of the request header 'User-Agent'(Could be exteded to be a regular expression). While in a JSP page, or an XML document, the following stylesheet tags could be used: ?xml-stylesheet href="explorer.xsl" type="text/xsl" media="explorer"? ?xml-stylesheet href="avantgo.xsl" type="text/xsl" media="avantgo"? ?xml-stylesheet href="wml.xsl" type="text/xsl" media="wap"? ?xml-stylesheet href="pocketexplorer.xsl" type="text/xsl" media ="pocketexplorer"?

Your home interface should only have finders in it, findByPrimaryKey and others (and create if appropriate) Your interface should only have business methods Your bean should implement only business methods, setEntityContext and unsetEntityContext, and ejbActivate, ejbPassivate, ejbRemove, ejbStore, ejbLoad which most of the time are empty.

Help with OR-Mapping
Folks, Does anyone know how to map a CMP field with type byte [] to a column in Oracle 8i DB. Particulary what would the tag for this type look like in the oracle.xml file under database-schemas directory. I see that a byte type maps to number(10,0) as shown below. type-mapping type="byte" name="number(10,0)" /. but what would a byte array map to is the question. Your response would be highly appreciated. Thanks, -Sridhar

User Authentication Under Orion
Hi, I have a question regarding the failure case of user authentication using Orion security managers. I noticed that the User.authenticate() method returns a boolean, and does not throw any exceptions at all. This works great for many situations. But now consider the case when someone would like to relay some additional information to the user as to why their login failed. Something that's over and above the boolean value returned from the authenticate() method. Under such a scenario, what would be the mechanism if any, under Orion right now to pass this kind of information to the user? A related question: what was the rationale behind not having the authenticate() method throw any type of checked exceptions? It just seems to me that an exception there might provide a decent way of supporting the scenario that I just described. Any thoughts on that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike winmail.dat

That has been working fine. However, I am now ready to move to production with our e-commerce system and I have run into some major snags that leads me to think NO one is using Orion in a production SSL environment. After going through the Thawte process for getting a server cert, the 'pick your web server' does not list Orion. After talking with Thawte support they suggested picking 'Apache SSL' as a choice. Ok, that seems fine to me. However, they also said I would need to pick the certificate type: x509v3. Since I've been using the 'SSL Chained CA Cert' for development, I wanted to try this out with a development cert to be sure it would work. I tried this using a X509v3 development cert but it will not work. Again, after getting back in touch with Thawte support regarding X509v3 not working, I said I will need to just use the 'SSL Chained CA Cert'. They then informed me that they no longer sell this type of certificate, and that I must go to Verisign to obtain this type of certificate. Well, my first question to Thawte was 'If you dont sell this type of certificate, why is it available on your developers cert pages?' Answer from Thawte: 'Yeah, I've been meaning to talk to our developers to take that off the website.'. Guess how much hair I've lost so far!? Now I am in the 'process' of getting a certificate from Verisign. Of course they do not have 'Orion Server' listed in their pick list of valid webservers. Since I just started this process today I really dont know if they can/cannot support the type of SSL certificate I will need to work with Orion. I'll be the first to admit I'm not real familiar with the Java 1.3 keytool, and different certificate meanings. But, if anyone has really obtained a valid production level SSL certificate, from any Certificate Authority, and successfully integrated this with Orion, please let me/us know how this was accomplished. The only docs I've see are related to development certs, and as I stated earlier, I've got this working fine. I now need to graduate to real e-commerce transactions. Please dont make me go back to Apache/JRun, I feel Orion is so much better but this is a real show-stopper. I have looked through the orion mail archives and it seems all discussions are related to trying to get the developer certs to work, not production certs.

I have been beating my head against this for a few days. I know exactly where you are coming from. Myself and a few others are exactly at the stage you are right now... the banging head on wall stage... and are desperate for some documentation on clustering (and other areas) from Orion. We've been promised docs a few times... First a document would be out soon... then it would take longer but a 'condensed' clustering document would be out in a few days (almost 2 weeks ago now)... now the 'condensed' document is forgotten... and the original promised doc is delayed again to include load-balancing info... who knows when we will actually see something. Lack of documentation is killing my opinion of this company. Not complete lack. Just lack. And it isn't like it isn't a known problem. Almost every review of Orion I have seen points out this glaring fact. And this mailing list is seething with people patiently waiting for something that should be already written. How about the whole orion team just STOPS coding for a week... (I don't care about 1.2.10!!!)... and fill in the gaps in the documentation. I think it would be a very productive move. Yes, I know the "price is right"... but come *ON*... inexpensive means nothing if the features you need are available but undocumented. Dylan Parker

Hello Richard, Try the Management Console (java -jar orionconsole.jar or java -jar orion.jar -console) or try admin.jar (java -jar admin.jar).

For more info on how to deploy using the command like, see this entry in the FAQ: How do I deploy an application on a remote machine (without ftp or telnet access)? (http://www.orionserver.com/faq/#-855510329). Regards, Karl Avedal Richard Landon wrote: I am probably stupid, but I still very confused about deployment using Orion.

Thanks for your response, but I did try all of the other JNDI

as
specified by my data-sources.xml but there was only one I could get
to
work;
the default location "jdbc/MyCoreDS". All other when tried return a

cast exception error.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,

RE: Deployment confusions
The FAQ http://www.orionserver.com/faq/ describes how to use the admin.jar tool to deploy to a remote server. There is no "command-line method to acquire the client support files from the Orion server." I'm not even sure what you mean by this, but if you question is about RMI stubs etc those are all transparently generated by the server. I don't know what "a command-line method to invoke a EJB client(s)." is either. If you are making a client.jar then it is up to you to make it an executable jar via the manifest Main-Class: attribute. You are welcome to "take this server off our list", but I have a feeling that you will have a very hard time finding a better server, or one that somehow does everything for you. I sympathize with your troubles learning J2EE and application servers that support the standard. It is big and complex as enterprise tools tend to be, so you will need a bit of patience.

Re: Help - SSL Usage in Production - is it really possbile?
Hello Paul, It's possible to use 128 bit SSL with Orion. Just about now it will be possible to use 128 bit globally and not just in the US. I know a few customers are using it today, but we are still working on making an easy way to get a production cert with Orion. We are in contact with Thawte (Owned by Verisign these days) about adding an Orion option on their website and that will be done. For now, I think it's best to get a "Netscape cert chain format" or a "PKCS#7 cert chain format".

Re: Clustering problems.
Hello Dylan, (... about lack of documentation) And it isn't like it isn't a known problem. Almost every review of Orion I have seen points out this glaring fact. And this mailing list is seething with people patiently waiting for something that should be already written. Absolutely, documentation is our biggest and most important task (as I've pointed out many times on this list) How about the whole orion team just STOPS coding for a week... (I don't care about 1.2.10!!!)... and fill in the gaps in the documentation. I think it would be a very productive move. Well, even though you might not care about getting new versions every day (of course noone cares for every update) there are many people who are running Orion on their production sites serving thousands of people, or are in the process of going live, and if they find a bug we try to help them with it. We get an enormous amount of reports and requests for enhancements and new features and if we stopped developing for a whole week we would get far behind on helping our customers, and believe me, a week of documentation isn't enough to improve documentation in that many areas that it makes it worth to stop responding to everyone. All I can say is that we are working on documentation (when we're not working on explaining that we are working on documentation ;) ) and that we are aware of the amounts of documentation that you need to work with a product of this complexity. A big problem is also that things are moving so fast. We make something available as a preview (like EJB 2.0) and of course people want documentation and examples the day after (understandable), but it's a tough task to work that fast. Yes, I know the "price is right"... but come *ON*... inexpensive means nothing if the features you need are available but undocumented. Of course. We are working like this: When we have a new feature we start out by giving a little documentation on it so that everything is at least documented (although very briefly) and then we follow up with more complete documentation, but those usually take a fair bit longer to produce. Examples are SSL, Clustering and user management that have had very sparse documentation so far (but Clustering was improved today), and we are working on providing complete tutorials and how-to's about these subjects. We understand that you need complete and good documentation to work with our product, and if you can not live with the state of the current documentation, you should of course look at other products that fit your needs better. We are doing our best to make sure that Orion is the best J2EE server and we certainly are working on making sure that everyone can use it, and I think we've taken big steps in this direction lately, with a few noticable additions like the Bugzilla, the improvements to the Changelog and the new documentation that's starting to pop up, like the clustering doc, The start to the GUI tools tutorial, the start to the Filter tutorial, The CMP Primer (not on the site yet, but available at www.jollem.com/orion-cmp-primer/ (yeah, Ernst is writing some documentation for Orion "officially" now)) and a few other docs that are in the later stages of production. Eventually we will get there. Regards, Karl Avedal

Re: Clustering and load balancing Howto
Second Question! Woo! Hoo! =) Hello, karl, Excellent! Awesome! Great! I burned through your document and have a functional setup. A few questions : Where ideally should loadbalancer.jar be executed? Obviously if it is running on one of the machines in the cluster it isn't so good.. sort of defeats the fail-safe purposes... So should it have it's own machine? Or am I just missing something. The current setup I tried is this : 2 machines in the cluster. A third machine has a mapped drive to one of the machines and is the loadbalancer. I start the loadbalancer in debug mode. It says it is initialized. I start the two backend servers in debug mode (as outlined in the HOWTO)... they start yakking away apparently over multicast... things like : = HTTP-clustering service started... Created cluster-listener for 230.0.0.1/230.0.0.1:9128 as 1249865300... Adding clustering service 'defaultWebApp'... HTTP-Clustering service initializing... Received cluster-message: defaultWebApp... HTTP-Clustering sent "I want sessions" request... Received cluster-message: defaultWebApp... Receiving HTTP-cluster send-sessions goahead from 597745668... Received cluster-message: defaultWebApp... Receiving HTTP-cluster sessions... Received cluster-message: defaultWebApp... Receiving HTTP-cluster send-sessions request... Received cluster-message: defaultWebApp... Receiving HTTP-cluster session value update... Created cluster-listener for 230.0.0.2/230.0.0.2:27512 as 1... Adding clustering service 'islands'... Orion/1.3.3 initialized = The second "cluster-listener" is created when the LoadBalancer 'discovers' that machine. Is it alright that two listeners are created? ALright... then both machines are up... I go to the servlet/SessionServlet and LoadBalancer binds the session and chooses a server for me.. so far so good... I get the counter up a bit (and watch the machine send the other counter updates)... then I kill that server (kill the process through Task Manager).. I click refresh in the browser and lo and behold... the LoadBalancer re-routes the connection and I'm now on the other machine with the correct data. Excellent! BUT. when I start up the dead server again... it gets detected by the loadbalancer... starts receiving updates from the other server... so I kill of Server #2 it dies... and the counter returns to 1 even though the counter value DID get passed (listed in the debug messages)... for some reason it creates a new session. Any ideas here? In fact after the first successful fail-over ... I can't get it to do it again without stopping the loadbalancer... and then both servers... then starting the load balancer... then both the servers again. It seems to only work once... then not anymore... even though it LOOKS like it should work. Any help is greatly appreciated! I am using Orion 1.3.3 since that's what the autoupdate gave me... the HOWTO DOES say to use 1.3.5+ but I don't know where that is.

RE: Deployment confusions
Thanks for the response. I am curious about your response as relates to: I sympathize with your troubles learning J2EE and application servers that support the standard. do I take to this mean the J2EE RI does not adhere to the standard? Or that Enhydra, IAS, WebLogic 5.1, Gemstone/J also don't? For example, by a client JAR I mean a java program with a main that is called via an invocation like java EJBClient, where EJBClient class implements the main method and acquires the home interface for some bean using the JDNI, and then invokes create method on the home interface to get the remote interface, and then invokes the remote interface methods to cause the bean instance to do something. At this point, I have pretty much went thru the procedures step by step from the URL http://www.znerd.demon.nl/orion-primer/ step-by-step, deployed the application. When I run the URL to launch the application servlet, I get a 404 error. Orion logs nothing useful. And this is apparently (and I maybe wrong) a supported application since I got at it via the Orion home page, or link there from). I have managed to deploy my smoke test (a few session and/or entity beans) on the following products: (1) J2EE RI (2) Enhydra (3) IAS (4) Web-Logic 5.1 (5) Gemstone/J I had to learn certain things about these servers, but at least when I followed the documentations thing eventually worked.

RE: Clustering problems.
Come on guys, give the team a break. I too am waiting patiently for docs, but let me tell you all something (I am sure many of you know this), while Orion may not be as robust as WebLogic, WebSphere and some others, I have thus far not seen any app server as complete (hell..over complete if you include ejb 2.0 and servlet 2.3 pre-implementation), as Orion. I have not been able to touch the ease of setting up Orion (with a little help sometimes) compared to WebLogic, OAS, WebSphere, IAS and others. I have not seen the speed from any app server, let alone the full J2EE spec implemented in any app server out there. Nor have I seen any app server as affordable that can do 1/2 as much as Orion. Orion is one of the only app servers that is free to user for everything except production, and it doesn't lock you out if you don't have a concurrent license servlet or some other security lock that prevents full use of it. I think for all of you complaining about the docs taking so long..you need to understand that these guys have done an amazing job with the product already, and are on top of bugs, latest specs, and more. They are also a fairly new company and have already beat the competition by a large margin as much as I can tell. Sure..this may be my opinion, but I have thus far only seen one person stop using it, while most have continued to complain...but still use it. I started a little documentation initiative a few weeks ago and got no responses back (ok..maybe one from the guy that runs the orionsupport.com site). I don't have much time either, but for what the Orion team gives you, how about helping out a little. If you have problems, ask, someone will most likely help you out..then try writing up a little doc on it. Maybe with all of us contributing we can help them along. Who knows..if you contribute maybe you'll get a free license or two to use for your own use. :) Go Orion! P.S.

We are working like this: When we have a new feature we start out by giving a little documentation on it so that everything is at least documented (although very briefly) and then we follow up with more complete documentation, but those usually take a fair bit longer to produce. Examples are SSL, Clustering and user management that have had very sparse documentation so far (but Clustering was improved today), and we are working on providing complete tutorials and how-to's about these subjects. We understand that you need complete and good documentation to work with our product, and if you can not live with the state of the current documentation, you should of course look at other products that fit your needs better. We are doing our best to make sure that Orion is the best J2EE server and we certainly are working on making sure that everyone can use it, and I
SSL and non SSL within the same instance of the web application
Hello, we can setup SSL on the application without problem. However, can we setup SSL enable part of the web application? For example, I just want to setup SSL enable on the member area of the web site but not the whole web application. Or do we need to setup 2 applications - one for SSL enable and one for non SSL enable. Thanks TK

3rd post, no answer
Sorry to keep posting this, but I really need an answer. I have a problem that I hope isn't not normal behavior and something I have configured incorrectly. Snip of my sever.xml: global-application name="MyDomain" path="c:\webapps\mydomain-web-app\config\mydomain-application.xml" /--application name="Client1Domain" path="c:\webapps\Client1Domain-web-app\config\Client1Domain-application.xml" /application name="Client2Domain" path="c:\webapps\Client2Domain-web-app\config\Client2Domain-application.xml" /application name="Client3Domain" path="c:\webapps\Client3Domain-web-app\config\Client3Domain-application.xml" /application name="Client4Domain" path="c:\webapps\Client4Domain-web-app\config\Client4Domain-application.xml" /application name="Client5Domain" path="c:\webapps\Client5Domain-web-app\config\Client5Domain-application.xml" / In mydomain-application.xml, I have: (note that this is my global application) mail-session location="mail/MailSession" smtp-host="mail.mydomain.com" property name="mail.transport.protocol" value="smtp" / property name="mail.smtp.from" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" / property name="mail.from" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" / /mail-session Now I want to also place the same mail session entries in each of my clients application.xml files except specifying their domain: mail-session location="mail/MailSession" smtp-host="mail.Client1Domain.com" property name="mail.transport.protocol" value="smtp" / property name="mail.smtp.from" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" / property name="mail.from" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" / /mail-session I have a FormMailServlet that I install on all my clients web.xml files which uses mail.jar classes send the email. My problem is it doesn't matter which one I go to, Orion always uses my mail-session entries from the global application. It doesn't seem to get over written for each other application. I also tried to explicitly set the mail server in my FormMailServet to what is passed in. I pass in mail.Client1Domain.com and inside my class I do the following: properties.put( "mail.smtp.host", "mail.Client1Domain.com"); properties.put( "smtp-host", "mail.Client1Domain.com"); // Not needed as far as I know I also turn verbose on so I can see what is happening. It always uses mail.mydomain.com! If I comment out the mail-session entries from my global application xml then it works fine as long as I pass in the value and explicitly set the mail.smtp.host as above. In other words, it seems to ignore the mail-session in the Clientxxx-application.xml files as I pointed the smtp-host entry in one of the application.xml files to an existing server, but a different one. When I explicitly set the entries it uses the entries I set, not the mail-session entries. Seems to only use the mail-session entries only if in the global application xml file and no where else. When in the global application xml file, it seems you can only use that one even if I explicitly set it to a different one. What gives?

RE: Orion Difficulities....
Title: Orion RMI Security problem For the original poster.. I think you were a bit harsh to say you would remove them from your vendor list. I would hope that you don't give up on all tasks that require a little more time. Funny thing is, I can't get WebLogic 5.1 to get my site going. I have done a number of different things, including a WebLogic tech guy who can't get my "easy" J2EE .war formatted web site to run. I finally got JSP pages to compile, but then it couldn't find any of my classes. I thought I read that anything in the WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib file is supposed to be automatically in your classpath by the app server. So, if for example you call upon a class com.mycompany.package.Class, and its in the /classes/com/mycompany/package/Class.class, you should be able to access it without having to do anything special in the environment of the OS your in, or adding classpath information when starting WebLogic. Apparently this isn't so, and its been a bitch to set up. I'll give you that Orion has not much in the documentation department, but for the most part I was able to easily set it up inside of 10 minutes. It is the only app server to fully support J2EE completely, even over WebLogic 5.1. It also now supports EJB 2.0 and Servlet 2.3. Yes..they are early, based on the not yet finalized specs, but still.. Anyways, its too bad so many people give up so easily without realizing what a great product Orion really is. Every product has their bugs. The good thing is, the Orion team does a darn good job on fixing bugs quickly, within a few days at most. -Original Message-From: Richard Landon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Friday, September 08, 2000 5:49 PMTo: Orion-InterestSubject: RE: Orion Difficulities Wow, thanks.

I have previously used (succesfully) (1) J2EE RI (2) Web Logic 5.1 (3) IAS (4) Silverstream (5) Gemstone/J I start the server as follows: [C:/orion] java -jar orion.jarOrion/1.2.9 initialized I take this to mean the server is running. I then do a http://blazer.youbet.com:8080 and see the web page. (I modified the port since I'm already running Apache on port 80). For example, according to the documentation, to shutdown the server: [C:/orion] java -jar admin.jar ormi://blazer.youbet.com:8080 admin root -shutdownError: javax.naming.NamingException: Lookup error: java.io.StreamCorruptedException: Caught EOFException while reading the stream header; nested exception is: java.io.StreamCorruptedException: Caught EOFException while reading the stream header So after two-days, it is not possible to figure out how to shutdown the server. I'll try a little bit long, then remove this server from our vendor list.
