Hey Tim, please let me know if you manage to find out how to specify
container managed relationships between dependent objects. :)
E.g. Address->ZipCode (this a stupid example but anyway...)

RE: Performance test...

[Duffey, Kevin]

Not sure of the URL, but its RSW software. It costs us something like $35K
for the software, including 7 licenses, so its definitely not cheap. But its
a great web-based testing tool. A lot of people are used to Silk or QA
Partner, but this one is extremely easy to use and learn. While it does
allow for written script testing, it uses a sort of macro record mode to
record every move you make in their internal browser. You can then set up a
databank (a text file) that is used against a load-test, so that it
simulates virtual users. I know we can simulat up to 100 virutal users with
our licenses, which is small potatoes compared to some users of this tool.
One of thier clients simulats 10,000 users. The software has "clients" that
can be run on many computers over a network so you can run it over night,
each computer simulating say 100 users, all hitting the same one site.

Anyways..this is sort of off topic..but if you have any questions, feel free
to email me.

Performance test...

[Duffey, Kevin]

Hi all,

Well, using a pretty nifty (and very expensive) testing tool, I was able to
do some "minor" testing on a login process of our site. Using Orion, Oracle
8i database, and e-load test suite, here are some numbers that I got:

25 users  - 15 connections in the pool

pages per second  - 43
pages per day   - 3.75 million
transactions per second  - 14.5
transactions per day   - 1.26 million

25 users  - 30 connections in the pool

pages per second- 26.4
pages per day - 2.28 million
transactions per second - 8.81
transactions per day  - 761333

25 users - 5 connections in the pool

pages per second -  51.95
pages per day  -  4.48 million
transactions per second  - 17.32
transactions per day- 1.49 million

The test is simple. It uses the browser built into the e-test suite software
and "automates" the login process of our site. I ran the test on a PIII650,
with 512MB RAM. The database is running on a SUN E450 serve with 512MB RAM.
The test simply sends a post submitted form with the login name and password
to a controller servlet that then hits the database using a connection via
the pool, and logs in the user. All logins were valid, I did not test
invalid login names/passwords.

Just thought I would share these numbers. Next week I will be setting up a
two-server farm, using the load-balancer software that Orion includes in
their download. Each server will be dual PIII550 with 512MB RAM and SCSI III
RAID hd setup (Actually, they are IBM NetFinitiy 4000R units). The load
balancer will run on a slow PII300 workstation with 128MB RAM (I hope this
is good enough). They will be failed over and load-balanced, and I will test
the performance on those and post the results here.

The only thing I am not sure of is if different testing software performs
about the same..or are there dramatically different results.

If anyone wants me to attempt to test their site, I'll give it a go from
here..but its over a T1 connection, where as my test is done locally on a
LAN, so I am sure the results are more skewed.

Orion and GZIP

[Duffey, Kevin]

Hi all,

I know the Orion team mentioned to me that Orion has support for sending JSP
pages back as gzip compressed html. Is this support available in the 1.2.9
version of Orion..if not, what version is it in? Also, what do I have to do
to get all my JSP pages to return HTML content in g-zip format to speed
things up. I believe MSIE 5 and NS 4.7 and later both handle g-zip
compression right? So as long as our clients are using MSIE 5+ and NS4.7+,
they should be able to see the pages?

Thanks.

RE: EJB Help..

[Duffey, Kevin]

Hey,

I used the Orion Primer, and I didn't find it too helpful. While its
probably fine for those that have worked with EJB before, I didn't find it
extremely helpful in moving me closer to working with EJB. I do have an EJB
book from ORiely that I am reading..so that is helping me see how it all
works. There is still the issues of CMP, O/R and how all that works.

I will try what you said earlier, and see if that allows me to deploy them.

Thanks.

RE: EJB Help..

Kevin,
look inside the news-application example bundled with Orion, lots of things
will become clear for you after that.
/WEB-INF/classes directory is for servlet classes, not for EJBs.
You'll see how to deploy EJBs in that example and in documentation as well.

Re: orionsupport.com attempting to ping my system???

[Greg Boswell]

port 113 is the Ident port. It can be used to identify a connection between
computers...So what the orionserver.com is trying to do is make sure you
are who you say you are.. at least is trying to confirm that your computer
is really at the IP you say you are at.. beyond that your identity is on
your honor

Juan forgot to put http:// into the href of the second site, that's why the

taglib, JNDI, odd problem.

[Colin Jacobs]

I'm trying to set up a debugging environment and I've noticed something
weird.

I've been using ejbtags.jar, and I discovered that using the tag like so

 

Results in a JNDI Exception:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: NamingException: ejb/UserManagerHome not
found
at com.evermind.ejb.taglib.UseHomeTag.doStartTag(UseHomeTag.java:37)

So, I've been using the tag with a fully qualified JNDI path:

 

That works. I scratched my head over why this would be so for a while, but
moved on. Now, however, if I run Orion from inside JBuilder, the second
(verbose) version results in 

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: NamingException: java:comp/env namespace is
only available from within a J2EE component
at com.evermind.ejb.taglib.UseHomeTag.doStartTag(UseHomeTag.java:37)
...

and the first version works.

What about my setup could possibly account for this discrepancy? The web.xml
seems normal.

...
   
  ejb/UserManagerHome
  Session
  net.coljac.aok.ejb.UserManagerHome
  net.coljac.aok.ejb.UserManager
   
...

I'm not sure what the difference is. I tried running orion outside JBuilder
using the JBuilder version of the jdk, with "." as the classpath. JBuilder
has orion.jar and ejb.jar first in its classpath. 

Curious. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.

RE: Orion Powered Sites

[Greg Boswell]

Well
For development of our customers sites, (all are B2B) we use Orion. I will
expect that more then a few of our customers will take our end
recommendation and use Orion as their distribution application server.
I expect that many more sites are using Orion then those you see there.. I
do know its the development target for our group.

RE: EJB Help..

[Mike Cannon-Brookes]

For the deployment details, see the Orion primer - http://www.jollem.com

I generally move all classes from the WEB-INF/classes folder into the ejb
module (makes it more portable etc) - makes them more visible.

Thanks for the note. One thing..since I compile all of my classes into the
www/WEB-INF/classes dir, should I put a META-INF in the /classes dir, and
just point the module to the WEB-INF/classes folder? Would that work?

Not that I want you to tell me everything, ok..I do, but what exactly do I
need to get EJB deployed in that way? My first stab that I want to do is
create a login process. I would like to use statless session beans, and also
use an entity bean..using CMP. I created 3 classes, Login, LoginBean and
LoginHome. I have them in com.mycompany.ejb package. That compiles to
www/WEB-INF/classes dir. So do I make application.xml like so:

/www/WEB-INF/classes

where the com folder starts? Or do I actually have to point them directly to
the .class files themselves? If the classes are compiled in a package, I
assume I need to point the ejb module setting to the root package right?
Furthermore, do I need that ejb.xml file in META-INF? If so, what should it
be set to if I am using an expanded dir? Lastly, how the heck to I get the
entity bean added..is that a forth class, or a whole set of 3 different
classes, one being the entity bean, the other two being like the home and
remote objects? It seems kind of silly that I would need 6 classes to do the
login process..3 for the session/logic stuff, and 3 for the entity/database
mapping.

Thanks so much..I appreciate the help.

Additional Java Mailing Lists

[David Kenzik]

In light of the recent messages regarding splitting the list, offloading to
another medium, et. al., I'd like to share the following:

http://p2p.wrox.com

There are many different subjects, all relating to Java development, from
novices to advanced.

As a side note, Wrox's books pretty much kick ass. I'd highly recommend both
Professional Java Programming books.

There certainly needs to be some degree of standardisation on a chunking
mechanism under the jar scheme. I appreciate that it's nice to have pure
compatibility with zip but it's not ideal for large class hierarchies - especially
as one of the aims is brevity of transmission.  I wondered if something like
package level chunking would work well and have the archive directory contain
a packing list indexed to the package chunk.

Another possiblity is to have non-static inner classes loaded with the enclosing
class but not initialised until first use. Then a java bytecode file could contain
all directly dependant classes in one file - no more Class$1.class files and perhaps
a more efficient loading process... Static inner classes of course should probably
still be separate - Does an enclosing class get loaded and initalised when a static
inner class is instanciated?

Re: Oracle on Orion

[Chris Evans]

Thanks for the reply,
We figured out the problem.  What was wrong was this:
1) It initially created the all tables(only a few were in the XML file)
a week or so ago under a test
username/password we were using
2) We then created our own username/password and granted it certain
privileges(we aren't DBA's so this was probably the trouble)
3) It somehow saw that the tables were already created under the
original username/password we used, hence it only created the new tables
we added
to our XML file over the past couple of days.
Thanks again,
Chris
Rafael Alvarez wrote:
Hi!
Is there any error message during deploy? Orion stops the

I also found that Orion don't create tables for beans that where

Or I usually put the oracle drivers in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext

Not sure of the technical differences between the two approaches, though.

I use ant. Check jakarta.apache.org for it. When I change a file with JBuilder or TextPad, I run ant in a console window. It builds the jar file and moves it to the right place for orion to pick it up.

Re: The New Java Pet Store

[Ray Harrison]

I found the problem for this particular error - the petstore app tries to load the 
japanese
version of the pages and it chokes while doing it. It happens not only on Orion, but 
J2ee-ri as
well. If you remove the entry from the xml/requestmappings.xml file and remove the 
appropriate
entry from
the index.html file (you can do this all obviously from the earassembler or the 
webappassembler)..

RE: EJB Help..

[Mike Cannon-Brookes]

Kevin,

With any *ar file in Orion, you can use a directory instead.

eg

./myejbs.jar


can just be


./myejbs


where ./myejbs is a directory structure which has the same structure
(META-INF directories etc) as inside the myejbs.jar

Subject: EJB Help..


Hi all,

I am trying my hand at EJB with Orion, and I am wondering if there is any
way to avoid the hassle of always having to package the ejb classes into a
.jar file, and so on. Is there any way at all to develop and deploy ejbs
using an expanded dir structure, much like in the development of a .war
file..where you have the whole www dir, WEB-INF, etc expanded..but then jar
it up and rename it to .war for deployment? It seems rather tedious on ejb
development every time a change is made, the whole thing has to be
repackaged and deployed. I know there are some tools, such as JBuilder,
VisualCafe, etc that do this for you somewhat nicely..but even those take a
little bit of time to do it. So, for the purposes of development, where many
changes are happening on any regular basis, how can I quickly develop and
test ejb, with Orion, or any app server for that matter. I do want the
ability for the context.lookup() call to work. The reason is..I have two
computers, networked. I want to develop the ejbs on one computer, and have
my www stuff on the other hitting them over the network so that i can get
some kind of feel of the performance. I have a 4-way switch, so I can
develop www stuff, then switch over to the other computer and do some ejb
stuff. I will run one instance of Orion on each computer. However, I don't
mind also being able to run www and ejb stuff in the same on instance on one
computer, as long as the lookup stuff is used the same way, even though the
ejb's are running locally.

Any pointers on how to set up Orion to do this, including the
application.xml  tag (how to point it to the right place instead of
the ejb.jar file, for example so that the ejbs will get picked up by the
server), web.xml, orion-web.xml, server.xml, etc..anything that needs to be
done to get this to work.

Thanks so much for any help.

Re: Orion can't find my jar file for my servlet....!

[Al Fogleson]

This is not a servlet error really, this is an xwindows error. try being
root and typing xhost + (a temporary fix this will open up your x server to
the world..) if that works you can man xhost to see how to open specific
IP's to connect to the Xserver. If this is not your box but a company box
(highly likely coming from a .gov domain) someone reconfigured the Xserver
to lock it down. Sysadmins do that when unknown users start hitting Xservers
hehe.

Re: Shutdown sequence not working

[Drew Kidder]

If by "enable user admin" you mean not having the disabled="true" property 
set for that user (or whatever it is), that's not the case. I have removed 
that property. And I would think that orion should tell me that the user is 
invalid, rather than the wrong number of arguments.

How would I enable the admin user, aside from removing that tag that is 
present in the default principals.xml file?

Re: Lookup with orion.jar

[Al Fogleson]

To perform a lookup you need the classes of those beans you are going to
lookup, and the jndi classes, and related superclasses. I dont know as there
are any superclasses you need but you would need the JNDI classes, and some
javax.rmi classes since you have to use PortableRemoteobject.Narrow(). You
could feasibly put all those in a jar file with the applet.

Ill give a caveat to this as I have not attempted a lookup from an applet.
We use an N-tier structure, and calling beans from an applet would be client
server. Can you possibly call a servlet from the applet and allow the
servlet to do the bean work? IMHO thats a better architecture. :)

RE: EJB Help..

[Juan Lorandi (Chile)]

I acomplish this by simply:

Creating a directory (in orion\applications) with the same name than the ear
(directory: Test.ear)
then there I put the contents of my .ear, then repeat the process for
ejb-jar and war files...

then, simply put your updated classes there(below your ejb-jar dir, like say
orion\applications\Test.ear\ejb-jar-ic.jar
to update the descriptor, use earassembler and open your .ear dir within
orion\applications.

Works great for me!

Hi all,

I am trying my hand at EJB with Orion, and I am wondering if there is any
way to avoid the hassle of always having to package the ejb classes into a
.jar file, and so on. Is there any way at all to develop and deploy ejbs
using an expanded dir structure, much like in the development of a .war
file..where you have the whole www dir, WEB-INF, etc expanded..but then jar
it up and rename it to .war for deployment? It seems rather tedious on ejb
development every time a change is made, the whole thing has to be
repackaged and deployed. I know there are some tools, such as JBuilder,
VisualCafe, etc that do this for you somewhat nicely..but even those take a
little bit of time to do it. So, for the purposes of development, where many
changes are happening on any regular basis, how can I quickly develop and
test ejb, with Orion, or any app server for that matter. I do want the
ability for the context.lookup() call to work. The reason is..I have two
computers, networked. I want to develop the ejbs on one computer, and have
my www stuff on the other hitting them over the network so that i can get
some kind of feel of the performance. I have a 4-way switch, so I can
develop www stuff, then switch over to the other computer and do some ejb
stuff. I will run one instance of Orion on each computer. However, I don't
mind also being able to run www and ejb stuff in the same on instance on one
computer, as long as the lookup stuff is used the same way, even though the
ejb's are running locally.

Any pointers on how to set up Orion to do this, including the
application.xml  tag (how to point it to the right place instead of
the ejb.jar file, for example so that the ejbs will get picked up by the
server), web.xml, orion-web.xml, server.xml, etc..anything that needs to be
done to get this to work.

Thanks so much for any help.

Orion in production

[Juan Lorandi (Chile)]

Hi!

I have been using orion for about 6 months now, and now, as I'm finishing my
app, I need to sell orion to my customers...
For this, it would be *VERY* valuable to have a list of sites (on the
internet or intranets) which use orion...

So, basically, what I have in mind is that anybody on this list that wishes
to report a site as being partiallly/fully powered by orion,
report it to my email address, [EMAIL PROTECTED], so that I can make a list
of these, to publish it on WWW

I think this will prove useful for us all.

TIA,

JP

Re: EJB Help..

[Joel Shellman]

We actually don't have any jar files at all for our EJBs. They are just in
the classpath (I think we have a library path="classpath" somewhere that
points to the class files). The module tag, I think can just point to a
directory.

Orion can't find my jar file for my servlet....!

Hello,

I loaded a new servlet of mine into the "classes" directory this new
servlet needed a jar file, which I put into the ./orion/lib directory  (as
well in the ./orion  and ./classes) ... all seemed to be fine. The servlet
worked great for a long time. BUT I then I started to get the errors below.
I am pretty sure I didn't touch a thing configuration wise. All I had been
doing was recompiling my servlet code. Now it seems it can' t find the jar
file??!!! The other example servlets still run fine. Any ideas?

Orion as Root on Solaris

[Lorin Kobashigawa]

Here's one of the threads, 
http://www.mail-archive.com/orion-interest@orionserver.com/msg04237.html

Basically, as i understand it the upshot was, there are 3 ways to do it.  

*Use JNDI code to switch the user of your JVM,
 see: http://www.orionsupport.com/articles/users.html

*install ipfilter for solaris to redirect 8080 or something to 80, 
 see: http://coombs.anu.edu.au/ipfilter/

*use an external box to redirect.  any firewall with NAT or a BSD or Linux box
 should be able to handle the job, and it doesn't hurt to have a firewall
anyway.

Hi Drew,

you should edit principals.xml and enable user admin. Your command is fine,
atleast it works for me.
But I have found a problem with this command on Unix with J2SE 13. It kills the
server but not the process , then you cannot restart the orion server.

bing bing bing!!!  you got it right Jeff.  Everything compiles
and runs fine now except when I call createAddress() on my EJB
to create my Address dependent object, an exception is thrown
that the method is not found.  I'll figure that out soon, but
what worries me is that part of the ejb got stored (everything

have a session bean create the account entity based on parameters. Then the user

Help with getting Orion to talke to Oracle.

[J Davis]

I have been pulling my hair out trying to get oracle and orion to talk to
each other.  I am sure it is a simple error, but I can't seem to find it.
Here is my problem:

I have installed orion 1.3.8 on a Windows 2000 server with jdk1.2.2,
j2ee1.2.1, jre1.2.2 and oracle8idrivers12_01.zip.  

I copied the tools.jar from the jdk into the c:\orion dir.

I have taken the time to set the following ENV variables based off some
earlier messages:

J2EE_CLASSPATH=c:\orion\lib\oracle8idrivers12_01.zip
J2EE_HOME=c:\j2ee
JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk
PATH=(Original path);c:\jdk

I tried exploding the oracle drivers in the orion/lib dir as well as the
jre/lib/ext dir.

I tried adding the oracle zip file to the library tag in the application.xml
like so:



I setup the data-source file like so:



I built a simple class that looks like this to run from a remote machine:

import java.sql.*;
import javax.ejb.*;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import javax.naming.*;
import com.micronpc.db.*;

public class TestConn
{
  Context jndiContext;

  public TestConn()
  {
try
{
  jndiContext = new InitialContext();
  DataSource ds = (DataSource)jndiContext.lookup("jdbc/vndPooledDS");
  Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
  Statement s = conn.createStatement();
  String sql = "SELECT * from adv_sub_family_type";
  ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);
  while(rs != null && rs.next())
  {
System.out.println("Record:" + rs.getString(1));
  }
}
catch(Exception e)
{
  System.out.println("Got this exception:" + e.getMessage());
  e.printStackTrace();
}
  }

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
TestConn testConn1 = new TestConn();
  }
}

My application-client.xml in the META-INF looks like this(although I am not
trying to use any of these objects yet.):


http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/application-client_1_2.dtd">

if I try to make a connection with a standalone app on the machine it works
fine.  If I try to go through orion I get the following errors.

if I try it as vndPooledDS or vndCoreDS I get the following error:

Servlet problems....

[Keith Kwiatek]

Hello,

I loaded a new servlet of mine into the "classes" directory this new
servlet needed a jar file, which I put into the ./orion/lib directory  (as
well in the ./orion  and ./classes) ... all seemed to be fine. The servlet
worked great for a long time. BUT I then I started to get the errors below.
I am pretty sure I didn't touch a thing configuration wise. All I had been
doing was recompiling my servlet code. Now it seems it can' t find the jar
file??!!! The other example servlets still run fine. Any ideas?

Lookup with orion.jar

[Christian . Tellefsen]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Is it possible to do a JNDI lookup from an applet or stand-alone
client against Orion, without using files from orion.jar? Or is the
whole 2 MB file necessary to do this?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yours,
Christian Tellefsen

or the list of open bug reports for that matter. getting new users up to 
speed is one thing but delivering paying customers a working rock stable 
product is the basis for everything. of course this has nothing to do with 
my personal situation as a paying customer with a few applications in

RE:[Re: 2 many messages - News Server needed. - Or we could split]

[KirkYarina]

I vote for email...

IMHO, If you work for a company that doesn't have email and a POP or IMAP 
server then perhaps you should work on that instead.  If it does you should 
be using your work email address, rather than a personal domain, if your 
Orion use is work related.

It looks like you're running your polozoff.com mail server off an AT&T DSL 
connection; consider using procmail or something similar to forward a copy 
of orion-interest mail to your work email address.

Configuring and running a news server (been there) isn't as easy as it 
might seem, particularly if you're concerned about security, the periodic 
news DOS attacks, spam, etc.  If the newsgroup is publicly fed, or the 
spammers stumble across the server (they will),  you're broadcasting all 
our addresses out to the spammer community.

Besides, the Orion team's resources would be much better spent on 
documentation.  Otherwise they're going to fail and this list won't matter 
anyway.

Problem with applets

[Christian . Tellefsen]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

We currently have a problem using Orion with applets on both IE and
Netscape (JRE 1.3.0-C).

If we, without exiting the browser, 

1. Start an applet which does a JNDI lookup
2. Close the browser window containing the applet
3. Start the applet again,

then all of these occur:

a) Java Plug-in hangs
b) IE hangs / Netscape refuses to show the applet

If we attempt to do this on an applet with the JNDI lookup removed,
everything works fine.

We are wondering, has anyone else tried to use Applets with Orion?
Did you experience the same problems we have, or did it work fine? 

We are not sure if there is some problem with our setup or whether
there is a problem in orion.jar. BTW our applet EMBED has
ARCHIVE=orion.jar, and uses Orion's classes to do the lookup.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! We are kind of stuck!

yours,
Christian Tellefsen

Question

[APapada]

What is the default error log on Orion.  For example, if I user
'System.err.println', where is this going to.  Do I need to initialize this
through the System class or does Orion default it somewhere.

JSP char code

I have JSP files with Chinese character in it, I have no problem have them run 
correctly in Tomcat, but when move them to orion, all the Chinese characters are all 
messed up. Anyone has any idea.

Yes, I have
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=gb2312" %>
to indicating that I am using Chinese code set in each JSP file.

Shutdown sequence not working

[Drew Kidder]

I am a new Orion user, and have been studying the mail archives and 
documentation trying to get this thing figured out.  One of my main 
concerns was that I did not know how to shut Orion down gracefully.  I read 
the bit about using

java -jar admin.jar ormi://localhost/ admin 123abc -shutdown

but that does not work for me.  I get an error saying that there are not 
enough arguments, and then I get a usage message.  When I look at the usage 
message, my command appears to be correct.  What is the problem here???  I 
have even put the full name of the rmi server, along with the port, but 
that does not work either.

Also, what is the default document root for Orion?  For example, with 
apache, it's $APACHE_HOME/htdocs.  What's the standard root for Orion? I 
tried setting the document-root tag in my orion-web.xml file, but that 
munged everything up...

Any and all help would be appreciated.

RE:[Re: 2 many messages - News Server needed. - Or we could split]

[Alexandre POLOZOFF]

I don't agree.  A newsgroup is a better way of categorizing topics.  If
you don't believe me take a look at the Weblogic and Toplink newsgroups.
Mailing lists are good for simple discussions.  Filtering emails is not a
reasonable solution for topical categorization of messages.  Especially if
you have to use a web based email client at work (because of a firewall)
and have a stand alone client at home.  Whereas a newsgroup always
contains a set hierarchy, whether you access from deja.com or a stand
alone client.

Could not agree more. don't any of you subscribe to other tech lists? I'm
surprised that there are people using orion that are not subscribed to
ejb-interest (excellent list and a must for people working with ejb
professionally IMHO) which has at least as much traffic as this one here.
Please learn how to use a mail client with filters and let's deal with a
high volume as soon as there is something to deal with and let's not start
a religious war on newgroup vs. mailingl ist (I'm pro mailing list btw

Re: Oracle on Orion

Orion under Unix archive

[Kemp Randy-W18971]

When I asked the question if Orion server processes can be run as someone other then 
root (under Solaris) and how, one reply mentioned that there was a big discussion 
regarding this question, and to check the archive files.  I have done that but 
couldn't find the discussion.  Can anyone point me to where I can find the archive 
file entry discussing this question before I brought it up again?

Re: I hate "guest"

[Nick Newman]

Hi Jeff,

My understanding is that "guest" is the system-dependent name that Orion
uses for the concept of the unauthenticated user.  (The specs explicitly
state that the name used is system dependent, which seems a bit odd, but
never mind).  If I'm right on that, then I would not necessarily expect you
to be able to assign security roles to "guest".  However, couldn't you
achieve what you want simply by not specifying ANY security restrictions
for that one method?

Weird content in getServletName()

[Thomas Krantz]

In a taglib, I am printing the content in
pageContext.getServletConfig().getServletName() to get
the JSP page the tag is called from. Very often this
method returns .css-files and .gif-files. 

I am pretty sure I am not using my tags in any GIF images.

Any clues?

Figured it out :-)

If $1 is a String, it is escaped and quoted before putting it in the SQL
statement. So if $1 = "Joe's Test", it gets interpolated as 'Joe\'s Test'.
Therefore:

like '%$1%'  -->  like '%'Joe\'s Test'%'   (invalid SQL)

like '%' + $1 + '%'  -->  like '%' + 'Joe\'s Test' + '%'  (valid SQL)

Actually it makes more sense to place the % in the finder method as it
abstracts the SQL from the underlying code. A developer working with entity
beans should never need to use any SQL (even if it only is one character).

The reason the attempted finder method isn't working is to do with how JDBC
prepared statements work.

To fix the problem, in your  tag in the deployment
descriptor, replace:

like '%$1%'

RE: DTD for orion-ejb-jar?

[Lopez Esteban]

I think that this is because EJB 2.0 is in draft stage, then the url for the
dtd is not valid and Spy cannot found the dtd but orion uses it internaly.
In ORION.JAR there are dtd files, you can extract this files and change the
url of the XML file to point to this files and use Spay to check your
dployment descriptor then you must restore the original url. There are
diferences between SUN tags and Orion tags.

RE: Oracle on Orion

[Arved Sandstrom]

What 
is the nature of the console errors? That is, when you run Orion the first time 
around, you'll get your auto-create messages, success or failure. Should be 
quite revealing.
 
I 
initially suspected table name length, but some of those that you say succeed 
seem to be no shorter than some that fail, so without an idea of what the 
messages say...
 
FWIW 
we routinely use Oracle, and some of the tables are autocreated. Works 
OK.

I hate "guest"

[Jeff Schnitzer]

Some variant of this has got to be one of the top five questions asked
on this list, and it has never been answered.  I really, really, really
need a simple answer:
 
How do I assign security roles to "guest"?  Is it even possible?
 
No matter what I put in the various principals.xml files (and believe
me, I've tried just about everything) I can't seem to allow the
unauthenticated user to call an EJB method.  It's driving me insane.  My
girlfriend tells me that while sleeping I thrash about mumbilng
"com.evermind.server.rmi.OrionRemoteException: guest is not allowed to
call this EJB method..."  I'm not by nature a violent person, but if I
ever meet this "guest", I'm going to reach out and throttle him :-)
 
I have a reasonably straightforward system which represents users as
entity beans and allows anyone to connect to the system and create an
account.  Thus, there must be a moment in time when the user must
interact with the EJB system to create the entity bean *before* he or
she can be logged in.  I want to grant "guest" access to a single method
on a single session bean.  Why can't I seem to do this?  I can't imagine
that this pattern has not been implemented a bazillion times already.
 
I was able to get everything working before by commenting all
security-related material out of my EJBs' deployment descriptors (thus
leaving the system wide open).  Now I'm ready to put security back into
the system, but the web-application  tag doesn't seem to be
implemented yet.  So I want to give a limited security role to "guest".
Heeelp!
 
Thanks,

[Yeung Man Leung]

Hi all,
    I have try to customize 
the a findBy method in one of my Bean in the following.
        
                
    
 
    
    
cat.ejb.Category    
findByDesc    
    
java.lang.String    
    
    
 
 
   However when I try to execute the 
findBy method,
    I got the following 
exception:
    
com.evermind.server.rmi.OrionRemoteException: Database error: ORA-01006: bind 
variable does not exist
    
    Did anyone know what went wrong 
in my sql, thx

Re: 2 many messages - News Server needed. - Or we could split the list

[Robert Krueger]

Could not agree more. don't any of you subscribe to other tech lists? I'm 
surprised that there are people using orion that are not subscribed to 
ejb-interest (excellent list and a must for people working with ejb 
professionally IMHO) which has at least as much traffic as this one here. 
Please learn how to use a mail client with filters and let's deal with a 
high volume as soon as there is something to deal with and let's not start 
a religious war on newgroup vs. mailingl ist (I'm pro mailing list btw 
;-)). the negative side effects (people not knowing where to look, 
crossposting etc.) would clearly outweight the benefits of splitting up the 
list IMHO.

Re: Cart example is not stateful!?

[Kuno Baeriswyl]

Thank very much for your reply. But, there is still one unclear thing.
Sure, stateful don't mean persistent, but during one session the attributs
of a bean shall be retained.
Do it means, that the plateform creates for each call of my program
a new session for me?
Arved Sandstrom wrote:
 "Stateful"
in "stateful session bean" does not mean "persistent". What it means is
that state, say your Collection, is retained in between method calls to
that session bean.To
answer your last question, stateful session beans are not persistent because
they were not intended to be. That's what entity beans are for. Or you
can add JDBC to the SB.Hope
this clarifies things.Arved

Subject: Cart example is not
stateful!?
 
Hi all,
I need to implementing a stateful Session Bean. So, I took the Cart-example
and added the following thinks to look the values of a stateful bean who
shall be in the container (because by first call of this program, I added
some beans).
But, all Beans are destroyed. I can't see the STATEFUL beans of the
last program-call!
Why there not persistent?
Client:

  // init Context
   java.util.Properties p = new java.util.Properties();
   p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory");
   p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"ormi://localhost/caddie");
   p.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,"admin");
   p.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,"metrocine");
   Context context = new InitialContext(p);
// get Cart bean
   Object homeObject = context.lookup("java:comp/env/Cart");
   CartHome home = (CartHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(homeObject,
CartHome.class);
   Cart cart = (Cart)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(home.create("kuno"),
Cart.class);
// print-out of all item stored in the stateful bean
   java.util.Collection items = cart.getItems();
   java.util.Iterator iterator = items.iterator();
   while(iterator.hasNext()){
    System.out.println((String)iterator.next());
   }
   // Add some new items to the Cart.
   cart.add("Milk");
   cart.add("Apples");
   cart.add("Pizza");
