RE: help...servlet claspath
I did something like this, because I had my own classes I would create that were used by Servlets, but not exclusively. All I did was specify the path in my system CLASSPATH environment variable. As long as that was specified in the environment that Orion started in, it seemed to work just fine. -Alex On Fri, 17 Nov 2000 16:07:22 +0100, J.T.

Why's www.orionserver.com down so often?
I frequent the Orion web site daily looking for information. And frequently, it's down. The computer itself is not down, because I can ping it and I can scan it (see below), but the web server (which I assume is the Orion server) is, many times, not running. Is this representative of the up-time I can expect if I go into production with this application server? The scan below, 9am PST on 2000-11-19.

Common servlets in multiple WAR modules
I have multiple WAR modules that both use a common servlet. I noticed that the ATM example duplicates its taglib JAR files in the atm-wap and atm-web modules. Should I be duplicating the Java class files for the servlet in the different WAR modules as well?
WAR contexts in application.xml and default-web-site.xml
What is the difference between the war-module context paths (the URL paths) that are specified in application.xml (context-root="...") and default-web-site.xml (root="...")? If I've already specified it in the J2EE-standard way, must I do it again in default-web-site.xml? Assuming that I must, I'm also confused by what the actual context root will be after I've defined it both ways. In the ATM example, application.xml has "/atm" for all three of its atm-web, atm-wap and atm-doc war modules. BUT the instructions say that the atm-web module should be bound to Orion using web-app application="atm" name="atm-web" root="/atm" / and the atm-wap module bound using web-app application="atm" name="atm-wap" root="/atmwap" / So does this mean that Orion just ignores the values in application.xml and uses the ones in default-web-site.xml?
HELP. Strange Database Connecton error.
OK list i need help.
This is kind of subtle so please read the whole message before responding. This
certainly points to something I do not understand about Orion data-source
configuration.
I am getting an error from Oracle upon table creation. Here is the text of the
error back from Orion:
Starting Orion
Auto-deploying addressbook (New server version detected)...
Auto-deploying addressbook-ejb.jar (No previous deployment found)... SQL error:
Connection
refused(DESCRIPTION=(TMP=)(VSNNUM=135286784)(ERR=12505)(ERROR_STACK=(ERROR=(CODE

refused(DESCRIPTION=(TMP=)(VSNNUM=135286784)(ERR=12505)(ERROR_STACK=(ERROR=(CODE
=12505)(EMFI=4
done.
Orion/1.3.8 initialized
Looking up ERR=12505, Oracle tells me this is a problem with SID resolution.
tnsnames.ora looks fine, indeed the entry was created by Net8 Easy Config. In
addition the following JDBC code:
public class JT {
public static void main(String[] args){
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@zaragoza:1521:oradbb";
try {
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance();;
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "jdev", "deal");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.execute("create table duff (first varchar(6),
next varchar(5))");
}
catch (SQLException ex) {
System.out.println("SQL Exception.");
ex.printStackTrace();
}
catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Just a plain bummer.");
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
creates a table just fine using the same SID and tnsnames.ora entry.
To make this all more confusing, I am trying to connect to Oracle on a dual
boot Linux/NT system. The Linux SID is oradba. The NT SID is oradbb.
Naturally I am only trying to connect to the NT Oracle when NT is booted and
visa versa. The Linux side works fine, it is the NT entry that gives the
error. Both Oracle installations are 8.1.5. The only difference is that on the
NT side the user is given DBA privledges and is creating tables in the system
rollback segment whereas on the Linux side there is a separate "development"
rollback segment. I have been posting this to the Oracle list (with no
answers forthcoming) until I wrote the JDBC code snippet I post above. The
fact that this code creates tables where Orion does not tends to make me think
it is a Orion config issue. Here are the entries from my Orion config files. I
understand that this is not the optimum place for the default-data-source
attribute tag but that is a separate thread.

Re: ORION and VAJ?
containers, Orion, Jboss, Dynamo, is either very limited or impossible. At this point I have dropped back to the old editor/makefile/external debugger method of development using emacs/ant/and one of a number of external debuggers, none of which are that much better then System.out.println(). Are you referring to JPDA-enabled debuggers when you mention "external debuggers"? I think JPDA-debugging (connecting via sockets) is great. It saves me from having to import or install the application into my IDE, and I dont see any convenience missing. Netbeans works great with this
RE: JNDI Properties for Orion and EJB?
That I understand. What I Don't get is why its needed? If I set up a cluster
of front-end jsp/servlet, and a cluster of ejb servers, because they are all
using Orion, I want my front-end servlets to access the middle-tier ejbs.
For this..do I need JNDI properties to find the EJBs? Or..as I think I
understood from some others..because they are all running Orion, this is not
needed, and I only have to do a Context context = new InitialContext();
xxx.lookup("..."); and so on like all the examples I see? I am not talking
about a client outside the scope of a web-app, that I understand you need
the jndi properties. I mean..inside my web-app, but not running on the same
server (or the same cluster), will I have to use jndi properties or not?
Thanks.

Subject: Re: JNDI Properties for Orion and EJB?
Hi there,
I read in my EJB book that CTM's require vendor specific
JDNI properties. I
thought EJB was platform/vendor independent? What are these
JNDI properties
for? More importantly..when/why are they used? I see in the
example EJB's
with Orion that they all have a jndi.properties file, yet I
am not quite
sure how to understand them.
The JNDI properties is what helps make your code EJB independent.
The file specifies the information specific to access your
EJB container's
namespace. By putting this information (factory class,
principal (user),
credentials (password)) in the properties file, you avoid
hard-coding it.

Re: RP: JMS messages to autostarted clients
How are you autostarting your bean? Is it operating as a daemon within Orion or is it a Servlet? Sorry I could not help with your post Thanks, Cory At 12:54 AM 11/15/00 -0500, Vidur Dhanda wrote: Hello, I didn't hear from anyone on this and have posted this as a bug against 1.4.4. -- Bug 188. I'm really interested in hearing others' opinions on this subject. Vidur - Hello, I just installed 1.4.3. The good news is that my previous problems with JMS subscribers, when running as auto-started clients, not getting messages delivered is resolved. However, it appears that the auto-started client's message handler (onMessage()) is invoked within the transaction context of the publishing EJB call. Is this expected behavior? I would think that the message handlers would be invoked outside of the transaction. If this is expected behavior, how can I design around it? Here's a stacktrace that shows the calls (the non-reentrant exception, I believe, is an artifact of the problem) The flow is that the EntityBean (datawatchItemBean), in its postCreate publishes a message and an auto-started client (DataWatchEngine) subscribes to these messages. I'm not an expert on JMS (barely getting started with messaging) and would appreciate all help.
