Session/cookie problems with multiple web-apps in one application
Title: RE: classpath for third party tools Hi all, I'll be darned if I thought I had this problem licked. Here is the deal..I am running 3 web-apps in one application (one instace of Orion). Each web-app has its own context if I am not mistaken, which means that one context can not share data with any other context that is running. What I need to happen is allow 3 browsers access the 3 apps. All 3 apps point to the same one www dir on the local drive, but each has a context root name of /admin/mediaName where mediaName is radio, tv or cable. So, you would type in http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/admin/radio http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/admin/tv or http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/admin/cable Now the problem is, each has a database associated with them (we run 3 databases, one for each media type). A special HttpSession object (String type) indicates the media type your in based on the Context path. I use the call request.getContextPath() which returns /admin/radio, /admin/tv or /admin/cable depending on what was typed, and store the Integer equivalent in the String MediaType in the HttpSession. All servlets/actions (using struts framework) use this stored value to determine what database to hit to get the data. This should work, and does seem to work if I use the same one browser to log in with. If I open two windows, and log in to radio, then cable (in the 2nd browser), then pull up a query on some stuff that, it seems to show the radio data, even though I am using a browser with the /admin/cable context in the URL line. When I run the Console and look at the HttpSession data, /admin/cable shows a MediaType of 3 (Cable) which is correct, yet it still seems to be pulling radio date. So, what I have figured out is that somehow, when I log in to radio first, then into cable, even though a HttpSession is created in the /admin/cable web-app, the actual session being retrieved is that of the /admin/radio web-app, which is the only way I can explain it getting radio data. The reason this is the only way is that the "logic" classes use the MediaType value set when the logic class is created (a call to new with its constructor being passed the media type). So, I think the problem is, why in a 2nd window, when I clearly log in to /admin/cable and the session is created (in the Orion console) in the /admin/cable web-app, is it somehow getting the /admin/radio session when the query is performed. I wish there was some way to test this. I think I have an idea, but it would be kewl if the Orion app showed an "access counter" to each object or something..if thats possible. Anyways, I just wanted to see if anyone else has ever had this problem. Before answering, I do know before Servlet 2.2, that it was impossible without some working, to allow multiple browsers of the same type (MSIE for example) to have multiple sessions going. I thought I understood the Servlet 2.2 spec to read that the context path in the URL of the request determines where it looks for the session, then would use the cookie to get the proper session for the request. It doesn't appear to be doing this for me, so if I am wrong, please enlighten me. Thanks.
RE: OR mapping of table joins for CMP
Hi Cory, Perhaps I can help a little... With CMP it is largely up to the server (orion) to decide how it will store its data. Books will generally not discuss the details of the storage precisely because it is up to the server vendor to decide. If you need complete control over the storage scheme, use BMP, not CMP. That said, it may still be quite possible for you to use CMP. In your example it looks like your two tables contain (id, first_name, job_id) and (job_id, job_description). Now, suppose you created two entity beans: - one called Job which has a primary key of job_id and a String field of job_description - one called Person which has a primary key of id, a String field of first_name, and a Job field of job_id. If you did this you would find that Orion would auto-create tables that are basically identical in form to those that you have, but probably with different names. If you now go into the orion-ejb.xml file that orion generates you can change the table and column names to those that you already have. When you have done this, you have the two tables linked transparently by Orion. Just asking for a Person will automatically retrieve the Job, and from that you can retrieve the job_description. I've skimmed a few details, but if you've played with Orion a bit I think you should be able to get it to work. Also, although what I have told you will work, I will not make any claims about this being the BEST solution for you!

Programmatic remote shutdown/start/restart of a web-application & orion server
Hi: I know that I can use "java -jar admin.jar " from the commandline on my local machine to stop and restart a remote Orion server. This, however, requires admin.jar (and others?) on my local machine. Can someone tell me if there is a programmatic method, that does not require any installation of Orion on my local machine for any of the following, and if there is, how to do it for each case? 1. shutdown a web-application running on a remote Orion server 2. start a web-application running on a remote Orion server 3. restart a web-application running on a remote Orion server 4. shutdown a remote Orion server 5. restart a remote Orion server Again, I'm looking for a *programmatic* way to do this. If this means admin.jar on the local machine, where's the API docs for making calls of this guy without having to resort to the commandline?

Sun's beta refresh had a memory leak in it (with or without JIT), which still seems to be there to a lesser degree now. IBM's crashed with JIT, and would just die after a few hours without JIT (die in that the JVM was still alive but it just seemed to stop handling requests).

RE: Using an ORB from Inprise
Anders, For a while I was using IAS as my EJB container and Orion as my web-layer. To accomplish this was a bit of a pain, but if I remember correctly it entailed placing the appropriate VisiBroker files (vbjorb.jar and vbejb.jar I think) in the [jdk]/jre/lib/ext directory and starting Orion with the vbj wrapper. To obtain a reference to the InitialContext you must use the InitialContext(Properties p) constructor where p contains the appropriate org.omg... and jndi... properties for VisiBroker. This is easier achieved if you use a Singleton wrapper to access your InitialContext with your properties set in one place. A note: I emphasise that I *was* using IAS 4 as my EJB Container (and Naming/CORBA service) as I was involved in a product with a tight deliverance deadline and Orion was still in its early pre-release days (0.7.blah) - the EJB part was still not 100% stable. IAS is very robust, excellent for integrating with legacy systems and has one of the best CORBA ORB implementations around (VisiBroker) - however its EJB support was not all it made out to be. It could not handle EJBs talking to EJBs in different JAR files (classloader probs), scaled very poorly with finder methods that returned large amounts of beans (it took about 7 minutes to iterate through the first 10 entities when a finder method returned 10,000 entities), took way too long to perform simple calls to EJBs as everything was marshalled to IIOP calls, and the OR support turned out to be a case of the marketing guys getting ahead of the product (the OR support wasn't there). Oh yeah, it wasn't J2EE compliant either (what's an .ear?). These weren't all presumptions - I had all of these confirmed by its developers on the support newsgroup. By the time we had developed our application, Orion 1.0 final was nearly out - we switched to it and we were in for a big surprise about how simple the whole development effort could be and how blazingly quick the app run, even under large loads with copious amounts of data. I don't want to put down IAS as it IS a very good server and has some very nice features - I chose it over WebLogic so it can't be that bad can it? ;) However these downpoints nearly crippled us and I just wanted to warn you of them. I was using 4.1 - it may have improved since then. -Joe Walnes > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Anders > Callertun > Sent: 11 September 2000 16:04 > To: Orion-Interest > Subject: Using an ORB from Inprise > > > I want to access an EJB in Inprise Application Server from a JSP-page on > Orion and I have a JavaBean that the JSP-page is using and is > supposed to connect to the Appserver. > > When running stand-alone Java-applications we're using the argument > "-Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB > -Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB" to java.exe > to use the ORB from Inprise instead of the default, but this does not > seems to work.

Re: SUN JDK1.3 RC1 for Linux
It still crashes immediately if we leave it in JIT mode. We have to add -Djava.compiler=NONE, then it does okay. It still seems to have a memory leak, though less than it had before. -- Joel Shellman Chief Software Architect The virally-driven B2B marketplace for outsourcing projects http://www.ants.com/90589781 Tim Drury wrote: > > It works great too.

Is "BROKER" a reserved word in Orion?
Hi, I am having this strange login failure problem whenever I use the word "BROKER" as a role name in the sub-element of in web.xml. The authentication succeeds, but the authorization fails without even calling User.isMemberOf() method. Why is this happening? Is this a normal behavior in Orion? Can anybody please shed a light on this, or tell me if I am doing something wrong. I am using Orion 1.3.0 on NT with custom security manager. Thanks in Advance. Mike. winmail.dat
How to specify SSL on Orion to accept all Client certificates
I have managed to get a SSL server running my web application, and all works fine with the digital certificates (server, client) from verisign. Know I would like the user to use the digital certificate from Verisign or another CA that he/she wants. On my application I will control if I trust the CA or not. How could I do this? Thanks

Usage of BitSet as returnvalue from Businessmethods in EJB
Hello, i'm trying to use a java.util.BitSet as a Business Property inside a CMP EJB. java.util.BitSet is per default Serializable, so it should fit the type restrictions on the getter methods for EJBs. When i deploy the Bean orion keeps on telling me that only Set or Collection are supported. BitSet is a direct descendent of java.lang.Object. Shouldn't it be possible to use BitSet in an EJB ? How do i tell orion, that this is not a Collection of References to EJBs ?? regards, Udo
Using an ORB from Inprise
I want to access an EJB in Inprise Application Server from a JSP-page on Orion and I have a JavaBean that the JSP-page is using and is supposed to connect to the Appserver. When running stand-alone Java-applications we're using the argument "-Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB -Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB" to java.exe to use the ORB from Inprise instead of the default, but this does not seems to work. Is there an XML-trick for this that I'm not aware of? Is there anyone else that is using the combination Orion+IAS successfully? /Anders
Re: Disable CMP
I'm working with the folks at Mousetech to put together a version of EJBWizard that will work with many appservers, including Orion. I'm attaching a sample Entity object for Orion that I've created with the wizard. It uses Ant as the build tool and might help you understand better how it all fits together. The sample is not complete, I havent gotten the test website files completely integrated, nor the test server setup XMLs. The intention is to have the wizard create a complete stand alone Orion config that can be run to test the EJB. If anyone has suggestions how I could better configure the wizard templates to accomplish this, I'd appreciate it :)) - Original Message - From: Roger Mosher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Orion-Interest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 08, 2000 6:39 AM Subject: Re: Disable CMP > Arved. > Would it be too much to ask for us to have a look at one of your ant > build scripts?

RE: 3rd post, no answer
Dale, Can you confirm that you are using JNDI to lookup the MailSession with the location "java:comp/env/mail/MailSession"? If you are not, you may be using a MailSession you're not expecting. That's my only suggestion anyway - if you are already using this location, ignore me :) -Joe Walnes -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dale Bronk Sent: 09 September 2000 04:12 To: Orion-Interest Subject: 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: --> In mydomain-application.xml, I have: (note that this is my global application) Now I want to also place the same mail session entries in each of my clients application.xml files except specifying their domain: 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?
