FORM based login ACTION

[Guilherme Ceschiatti]

Hi!

I'm having problems in loging into my application. I'm using FORM based login,
with a form with the ACTION="j_security_check". When I submit the form, Orion
just replies:

404 Not Found

Is it a bug? How do I fix it?

Hi Robert,


Actually these interfaces are implemented by the jdbc driver developers. for examples oracle gives you a thin driver so all the jdbc interfaces  are implemented by oracle .

clustering problem

[chenbin]

hello everyone:

when i try to clustered two orion server ,i have some problem.
three computers run's orion and loadbalancer also is:
1) nts 4 + sp6a ,IE 5.01
2)sun jdk1.3 + hotspot 2.0 server version,
3)orion version 1.3.3 and 1.3.5
4)in my lan have a proxyserver : winproxy version 3.0 r1i.

when I cluster two server, the loadbalancer run and discovered two server (in one 
island 1)
Run Orion Server : java -Dhttp.cluster.debug=true -Dcluster.debug=true -jar orion.jar
Run loadbalancer : java -jar loadbalancer.jar -port 8080 -debug

IP Address:
loadbalancer : 172.23.128.160:8080
orion server 1 :172.23.128.191:8000
orion server 2 :172.23.128.192:8000
http proxyserver :172.23.128.5:8080

when use my broswer (IE 5.01) point to http://172.23.160.8080/ 
the loadbalancer's windows show the error:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
at com.evermind.util.LongHashMap.cu(JAX)
at com.evermind.server.loadbalancer.bu.jk(JAX)
at com.evermind.server.loadbalancer.bu.i8(JAX)
at com.evermind.server.loadbalancer.LoadBalancer.i8(JAX)
at com.evermind.server.loadbalancer.bk.run(JAX)
at com.evermind.util.f.run(JAX)

but when my browser set http proxyserver ,then point http://172.23.160.8080/   
then the loadbalancer's windows show :
Routing connection from Proxyserver/172.23.128.5 to 172.23.128.191:8000
it seem ok ! and I shut down one orion server ,the browser can view the page, 
loadbalancer works right!
And at this time,though set my browser don't use proxyserver ,
the connection seems ok,too.! the loadbalancer's windows show message:
Routing connection from 172.23.128.160 to 172.23.128.191:8000

So I can't understand this .It seems that i must set IE use proxyserver first,then it 
can konw the route,
If not ,ie can't know the route ,and the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException raise,why???

question 2 :I can't know greatly about multicast works,it seems that must have 
software or hardware on lan,
then multicast can work. Is the loadbalancer.jar have this function ? or I must have 
another software 
like Resonate Dispatch SLB-now or some hardware the multicast and loadbalancer.jar can 
work right ?

question 3 :Is orion 1.3.5 have new config in web.xml  ?


Thanks a lot!

RE: Need some ideas

[Duffey, Kevin]

I haven't heard of it done this way. My understanding is that you would have
1 (or more if clustering) front-end web server/servlet/jsp engine on the
front tier. They would communicate with the middle-tier orion app servers
for ejb stuff. There you would have one or more clustered for fail-over.

Question on this..if anyone knows. If we use statless EJB, do we need a
clustered environment for fail-over? Or is there no use in fail-over for a
statless ejb setup? I definitely want to store session state on the
HttpSession side, so our JSP pages can dynamically access everything to
display. I heard if you use HttpSession state, then you should use EJB in a
statless method, so I am not sure if that means I should have a cluster of
EJB servers for fail-over. However, I would believe a cluster is good for
load-balancing. What is the setup in this manner?

Thanks.

[BAC10000]

Dear all

Has anyone been able to set up 2 orion servers for EJB ?
Server A has all modules, while Server B is just a client to it.
I want to use Server B as servlet client to connect to Server A.

Is it possible and efficient to set up a distributed system like this using 
orion servers ?

How should i go about doing all this ?

Could anyone show me the steps ?

Thanks a lot.

ps:  just don't understand why orion team has such bad documentation.
  it's very frustrating to use their product.  i am very sure it's wasting
  a tremendous amount of time for a lot of people to figure things out.

RE: User/Group manager guide

[Arved Sandstrom]

Well, what I've tried is your suggestion from a few days ago to do exactly
that. I have a number of roles, and to use one ("agents") as an example, I
have "agents" specified as a group in principals.xml, and also mapped in
orion-application.xml and the relevant orion-ejb-jar.xml, as well as
appearing as the role name in the relevant ejb-jar.xml. That is, my group
names and role names match exactly, everywhere. :-)

I zap the complete app directory in application-deployments before every
run, so there is no legacy stuff. And when I look at the deployed
Orion-specific descriptors they _are_ what I expect.

I should add that when user managers are _not_ in use then I've had no
issues with EJB method-permissions.

I don't doubt that you have stumbled across a configuration that works for
you. In fact I think I had one for about 30 minutes late last week, and then
it went away. I'm not kidding, either. :-)

I'm putting this stuff aside for a bit to see what develops. I'm encouraged
that the Orion team is coming out with docs. I hope they don't just talk
about the role manager, which is robust and also the easiest to use.

NULL/NOT NULL with autocreated tables

[KirkYarina]

I'm using orion-ejb-jar.xml to define many of the characteristics of our 
applications database table fields, and am unable to determine how I can 
specify NULL/NOT NULL constraints for these fields.  I rtfm (such as it 
is) and looked at the orion-ejb-jar dtd, and couldn't find an answer.

We're switching between several DBMS's during development, using different 
databases for different programmers and tasks, and still tweaking the 
schema a bit.  It's convenient to let Orion automatically create tables 
while all this is going on but I need to be able to control whether null 
fields are allowed, and have been unable to figure out how to do so.  Can 
anyone help?

Thanks!

SSL Slow and precompiled JSPs?

[Mike Fontenot]

Has anyone else noticed that when you first start executing SSL protected
code, displaying that first page takes a long time?

I know that SSL requires server/client key generation/handshaking but I'm
wondering if a server installation such as Orion (JSSE?) would benefit from
hardware acceleration like CryptoSwift?  Anyone using hardware acceleration
like this in production with Orion, and do you notice any performance
benefits?

Second, is there a way to precompile all of your JSP pages before
deployment, and deploy those compiled servlets?

Thanks,

Re: Doubts on finder methods & orion-ejb-ar.xml

[Nick Newman]

Hi Sven,

The field names should be the "name", not the "persistence-name".  So you
should use "$1 = $_fantasia".  You can check this by viewing the generated
SQL after deployment.

I'm not sure about the LIKE construction - but it sounds reasonable.

Using JMS from an Applet

[Andrew Panagos]

Is it possible to use Orion's JMS implementation from an applet. I know
Fiorano does have classes you can use.

If not are there any plans to ?

Are there any good messaging alternatives ?

I have used TIBCO quite extensively and it is a good product but a bit on
the expensive side.

Thanks

SSL Help required Urgent

[Sanjay]

 
I am facing a problem with Installing the Global 
certificate purchased from Verisign
there is no proper help and the help available is 
not sufficient 
 
I have installed the certificate on the server but 
when we get the site certificate alert messagebox it shows that 
the certificate is issued by the "client name" and not the "Verisign name" so 
can you help me where i have gone wrong
 
i have installed both the certificate into one keystore using different 
aliasesfor each.
Is this correct
thank you sanjay
 

RE: User/Group manager guide

[Arved Sandstrom]

I'm looking forward to docs and examples myself.

One thing that I've noticed, after copious experimentation with the
DataSourceUserManager, is that the group <=> mapping is somewhat deficient.
In other words, I have my users and groups tables set up, and I've made
suitable mods and adjustments to principals.xml, orion-application.xml,
ejb-jar.xml, and orion-ejb-jar.xml as required (or suggested). In some cases
I'm flailing about, frankly.

In any case, a login with username and password is obviously finding the
group, and mapping the group to role, because when I check the role after
login it's OK. I don't have to hardcode it, which is vital.

However, and I've tried everything, I don't believe this knowledge is being
passed on to the EJB container. No role, however declared in the various
J2EE/Orion descriptors, is able to access *any* method in an EJB that has
method-permissions.

So my assessment on the user/role managers is that it is reasonably useful:
one can assign roles based on login, and test for that as required. But
method-level security in EJBs does not work, at least not in a documented,
demonstrated and reliable manner.

The odd thing is, is that this may not be that much of a big deal. I've been
writing J2EE for pretty much a full year, and I have yet to see a situation
where method-level permissions gain me anything at all. It's literally never
been necessary. It seems to be one of these J2EE things that made ostensible
sense at the time but has little practical value. Just a thought.

The only reason it disturbs me is because it should work and doesn't. :-) If
an example can be supplied - complete with Orion-specific deployment
descriptors - I'll be overjoyed.

Guilherme,

Here Here! I'm glad somebody said it.

But without documentation, you should look at the archives to this list,
because many of these problems have already been worked out.

For example...it isn't said anywhere in the documentation, but the
EJBUserManager is the most useful device for ecommerce. With this, you can
automatically login users and create users  for your website...without one
call to the EJBUserManager stuff. In order to use this, you will have to add
the following to your orion-application.xml file:


 
 


I found this tidbit in the mail archive. Then you can use the role manager
to allow users access to ejb resources, and the role manager automatically
uses the your databank with cmp to create userscreate a user like this:

try
{
RoleManager roleManager = (RoleManager)new
InitialContext().looku("java:comp/RoleManager");
if(roleManager.getPrincipal(username) != null)
throw new DuplicateAccountException(username)
Principal principal = roleManager.createPrincipal(username, password);
roleManager.addToRole(principal, role);
roleManager.store();
}
catch(NamingException e){}
catch(UserAlreadyExistsException e){}
catch(InstantiationException e){}
catch(IOException e){}

and like magic, a user database is created. Of course, you also have to make
sure your roles are part of your groups.

This is the great secret of orion...great stuff, no documentation! It took
me weeks to figure this out. I wish there was a tutorial on these simple
issues:

How do you login in a client through a database of usernames/passwords?
How do you enroll a client into a database of usernames/passwords?
How do you control access to web resources (ejb's, jsp's, servlets)?

The existing documentation on this is about as clear as mud.

Lawrence

RE: session and authenthication management (fwd)

[Magnus Rydin]

Title: RE: session and authenthication management (fwd)





Hi Truong.
In the web.xml you specify what page to use as a login form and a aditional login error form.
Then you just make sure that you protect the rest of your pages.
As there is no action in the FORM tag on the login page, whatever URL the user tried to reach (that was protected), is the target of the form.

The submit button is in the form of a IMAGE, so its there allright.
Hope this helps,
Magnus Rydin

Running servlets/jsps with security restrictions

[Vlad Petric]

   Is Orion able to run jsp pages/servlets in threads with security
restrictions  (different permission, maybe a different SecurityManager)?

My idea was to somehow change the generated servlet code for a JSP
and remove permissions at the beginning and put them back at the end

Re: not about Orion, some JDBC questions...

Hi,

The implementation of these interfaces is given by jdbc driver vendor.
If you see the source code given by the vendor, u'll find classes
instead of interfaces...

Hope this helps (if i'm not wrong )

RE: Accessin EJB from a stand alone client.

[Peter Delahunty]

create a file called jndi.properties and put it in your class path.
 
the content of the the JNDI  should look something like this.
 
java.naming.factory.initial=com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialCont
extFactory

java.naming.provider.url=ormi://localhost/MyApp

java.naming.security.principal=admin

java.naming.security.credentials=123

where MyApp is replaced by the name of your application, the name you gave
it when you put an entry in the server.xml file. Also the principal and
credential should match a user in the principals.xml file.

Re: Online Orion Support

Hello Sanjay,

I am unable to find any support request from you (or any mail from you
to the support@ address).

To get support, follow the instructions you got when you bought the
license (mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with your customernumber in the
subject). If you have already done so but the mails for some reason
haven't gotten here, can you please try again?

If you do not know your customernumber, you can mail
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with your information and they will give it to
you. I tried to look it up now, but couldn't find any tw2.com as a
customer, so I guess you used another name for the purchase. Of course,
if you need support and is a paying customer, we are not anal about you
providing your customer number, but it makes it much easier for us when
you provide it (we can sort all your support questions correctly so that
we can immediately know what you are doing when we get a new request.)

Orion-interest is not a support-forum.

Karl Avedal

For general instructions on how to find what you want but applied to this

1. Go to http://www.orionserver.com/

Sometimes I get this as the result of a jsp page
"413 Request Entity Too Large"
Reloading seems to fix it - why does this occur? Is it an Orion bug or a
malformed request? Surely the former if reloading fixes it? Network problem?

Accessin EJB from a stand alone client.

[Martin Andersson]

Please give me som pointers. I'm stuck in my work 
due to this problem...
 
I would like to know how to use a standalone client 
to access EJB in Orion. I have no problem using these beans from a JSP-page 
within Orion but trying to access them from outside Orion doesn't 
work.
It has something to do with the 
JNDI-context. It would save me a lot of time if somewhone could tell med 
how to configure Orion the right way. 
 
Thanks in advance

The problem is that a java.util.Date and a Date in Postgres is not the
same. A java.util.Date represents a moment in time (millisecond
precision), while a Date in Postgres represents a specific day (year,
month, day).

Use the Postgres type Timestamp instead and it will work. The
database-schema for Postgres distributed with Orion has java.util.Date
mapped to Date which isn't correct.



http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.0/postgres/datatype1134.htm

Beware of that setting a column to new Date(0) will render it unreadable
for Java since Postgres will return the string 'epoch' for this which the
Java date parser won't recognize.

Regards, Markus.

RE: User/Group manager guide

Jason

Thanks for the reply. I was confused with the word "already" and "being
written".

I think the operative phrase here is "being written", e.g. in
process.
When it's done I'm sure we'll hear about it first on this list.
