I've used the two together, but not through Orion datasources (anyone got
Interbase 6 working and can give me some help? I get errors whenever I
upgrade Orion when Orion tries to create some tables).

 Hello,

 Has anyone successfully used instantDB with orion?  I've been
 trying to
 test the latest version of instantDB but can't get the schema.xml file
 right.  For the datasources.xml, I pretty much used the HypersonicSQL
 entries and changed the URL and driver names.

what was the problem with that? we just deployed a rather large application

everything looks ok so we're seriously considering using interbase in

will post what I have done to get it to work, including a Schema I just
found. That should help those interested in this database. Overall its a
pretty rock-solid database. I am waiting for InterClient 2.0, which should
provide the Dialect 3 stuff we are waiting for..but other than that, its a
tiny footprint and does just about everything the big boys do...all for
free.

  I used Interbase about four years ago in a production
  environment.  It used
  to be a commercial product distributed by Inprise(Borland at the time)
  before they open sourced it.  It is a very good relational
  database product.
  It has most of the features you would expect from a
  commercial product.
 
  The only negative that I have against Interbase, is it's lack
  of clustering
  support.  It has what they refer to as a shadow that should
  the machine go
  down, you can get a second server up and running right away.
 
  It has a JDBC driver called InterClient.  I have had success with this
  driver except for one quirk.  Everynight at midnight, the InterClient
  service would error and stop receiving requests.  they might
  have fixed this
  problem with their latest version.
 
  I don't have any info on online back ups.
 
  My experience has been with the Windows NT environment.
  Interbase has been
  cross platform for many years though.  Another thing to
  consider in the
  Linux environment, is a journaling file system such as
  ReiserFS.  I am not
  sure what would happen to your database file if the power
  suddenly went out
  or the computer shut down unexpectedly while the database was
  writing to the
  file.

  Does anyone here have any experience with Interbase in a production
  environment? We are trying to decide which database to deploy in
  production. Since we are a very low budget operation, we are
  looking at
  Open Source, but somehow missed this one.
 
  Our most important requirements are stability, transaction

  JDBC driver (for use with an EJB server) and online backup capability.
 
  Any experiences people can offer would be appreciated, especially in a

   Subject: MYSQL, Orion, EJB and transactions ??
  
  
   Hi there,
  
   I know that the question has been discussed here before,
  but I'm still a
   little confused about using  MYSQL together with Orion.
   I've just downloaded mysql (version 3.23.22 beta) and the manual
   announces that mysql is now supporting transactions.  If I
  understood it
   correctly, that would mean, that it should be possible to
  use mysql with
   entity beans. Am I right ??  What's confusing to me is the
  fact, that I
   only find news in mailing-list, that mysql is not supporting
   transactions.
  
   So I don't really now, if I can use mysql for entity beans.
   If not, which database would you suggest ??
   It should work on NT and not be the most expensive one as I
  use it 'only'
   for writing my Master's Thesis.
  
   Thanks in advance,
  
   Michel

load testing tools/procedures

2000-10-28 Thread Robert Krueger


hi,

what are people out there using for load testing when they've finished a 
web-application? the (affordable) solutions I can think of is JMeter 
(java.apache.org) or simulating user sessions by coding tests with a 
package like HttpUnit. I'm particularly interested in testing applications 
which use sessions and need the simulation of real users (i.e. log in - 
view catalog - modify shopping basket - submit order - logout kind of stuff).

any thoughts on this, anyone?

Re: rumors

or, as has happened to my company, another entity
purchases orion, essentially to shelve the code and
remove a competitor.  the product i and my team have
worked very hard on for these past months is now
effectively dead.  it would be sad to see the same
happen to orion, but when business people get
involved, they do not care about technical elegance or
excellence -- only money.

  Admittedly, I don't know how the above ejb servers
 compare to orion. I
  know they don't have servlets/jsp... but then
 there is the open source free
  resin...
 
 
 Just have to point out that Resin is not free for
 commercial use.
 
 And if Orion is a take-over target, Resin is
 probably more so. Since Resin
 isn't a full J2EE server but is used for
 JSP/Servlets it's more likely to fit
 into someone's product portfolio (many EJB servers
 lack a decent web
 container), rather than Orion that would be a
 competitor to any existing server
 offering they have.

Re: startup classes?

2000-10-28 Thread Christian Sell

this has been asked a few times before (last time only a few days ago, see
list archive). Basically you will need to handle this in a servlet which has
load-on-startup configured. If you really need you services to start when
the server is started, you will have to configure the same for the web-app
the servlet lives in.
As for failover, I guess you will have to take care of that yourself.

Subject: startup classes?



Hi,

our server needs to run some services internally. Those services are
implemented as threads and should be started when the server is started.
How do you do this in Orion? Weblogic allows you to define some classes
to run in its properties file.

How does this affect load-balancing and fail-over? Say server1 that runs
the services crashes. How to make server2 (or another server) pick up
those services?

Thank's in advance,
Andrej

Help with Finder query

2000-10-28 Thread Vidur Dhanda

Hello,

I need help with defining a finder query.  Here's the set up:
CMP DataWatchItem has a member String called name.  Its primary key is
GUID guid (a homegrown globally unique identifier, that is
Serializable).  DataWatchItem works fine -- it can be created, found,
and used.
CMP DataWatchLogItem, has a member DataWatchItem called source.  Its
primary key is also a GUID.  It also works fine.
I want to define a finder method on DataWatchLogItem, findByName (String
searchName).  The logic is simple -- return a collection of
DataWatchLogItem such that source.name equals searchName.  How do I
express this in orion-ejb-jar.xml?

I tried
finder-method query="$source-getUsername() = $1"
It deploys but gives a runtime error
10/28/00 4:48 PM Error in bean DataWatchLogItem: Database Error
java.sql.SQLException: General error in statement [select
DataWatchLogItem.guid, DataWatchLogItem.source, DataWatchLogItem.runOn,
DataWatchLogItem.evaluatedValue, DataWatchLogItem.errorString from
DataWatchLogItem where
DataWatchLogItem.source-getUsername() = 'vdhanda']

When I use,finder-method query="$source.username = $1"
On deployment, I get the error:
Auto-deploying lib (No previous deployment found)... Error compiling
file:/C:/dev/lib/: Unable to process query: source was not a
property/field mapped field (invalid '.' use) at column 16 in query
'?source.username = ?1'

Is expressing such a query possible in Orion?

Thanks,
Vidur

Filters Help

2000-10-28 Thread David Kenzik

Has anyone successfully used a filter to modify the original request?

I saw that the tutorial covered wrapping the response object to modify it,
but there wasn't any mention of doing something similar to the request.

Ideally, I'd like to look at the size of a request, and if the size is too
large, generate a new request to throw an error to the browser.

I assumed I could get it from javax.servlet.ServletRequest's
getContentLength method, ie:

...
public void doFilter(final ServletRequest request,final ServletResponse 
response) 
throws java.io.IOException, javax.servlet.ServletException 
{
length = request.getContentLength();
...

but length is always 0 when I println to the console.

Using jdk 1.3, orion 1.4.0.

Any hints? Anyone else doing anything similar?

JMS implementation, is it for real?

2000-10-28 Thread Jason Rimmer

Is Orion's JMS implementation for real?  While it supports the
simplistic behavior as demonstrated by the chat and coffeemaker demo it
doesn't appear to support much else.
JMS parts I can't get working:
o Transactions.  Doesn't seem to matter what you call: commit, rollback,
etc.  Doesn't make a difference.
o Persistence: Make the change in the jms.xml to define a queue's
persistent-file, set the message delivery mode to persistent, watch it get
ignored.

Has anyone had much luck with this?  Perhaps SwiftMQ is the answer here
(even though I want to use the MessageDrivenBeans).
