Re: Where are the perfumes bubble bath beads

2001-02-19 Thread Johan Fredriksson

Hmmm, as for WebsPhear ( really liked that one:) ) and IBM support they
don't give you support if you're not $1.000.000.000 company. Well, sometimes
they do but only if you get ugly with them on phones and harass them enough.
They don't care about small businesses... At least that is the case in
Sweden. Don't know about the rest of the world, but it's probably similar.

And unconfirmed sources say there is only 1 (one) expert at WebsPhere in
Europe, and he works at a lab in France. The waiting list for him is
something like 8 months.

We also use log4j.
A servlet makes the initialization, by reading the configuration file.

It is has been of great help:
1. It avoids tons of System.out
2. When we have a problem we just turn on debugging on the desired category.
This has proven very usefull when refactoring classes.

Hint: use log4j with JSP, it may save you a lot of debugging time. We use
one category per page i.e. "jsp.dir.dir.page"


Could anyone give me some clues about NDC, i.e. how to use it, what is the

RE: Using Log4j With Orion

Hi,

cat.debug("message")and friends works on most appservers. What the
spesification says is that you can't open a file input/outputstream directly
from an ejb and this is because of portability. So output to screen should
always be possible from an ejb.

And this is what log4j does its realy just a System.out whit dynamic filters
on it.

 Also, is there anyone who is currently using, or has

I've used them; the #java faq (http://epesh.com/java) has references to at
least one applet in it; orion has no bearing on applets in the general

Subject: Security between applications?


Greetings,

We are currently evaluating the various J2EE solutions available for a
venture that we hope to deliver to the world in a few months.  Whilst
reading the documentation for each, I dont appear to be able to configure
Orion to suit the way the project will work.

In order for our application to be of any use, we need to be able to
implement a fair amount of security, since JSP pages may be at the mercy of
people who are not us.

Basically the application will provide a farm of hosts on which we will be
offering certain services.  Each application needs to have a data source
that it, and only it has access to.  The current problem as I see it is that
if I define a connection in data-sources.xml, then every web application
deployed on the server or cluster of servers has access to it.  We need some
way of securing that while still being able to use EJB in all its glory.  We
need to be able to offer the opportunity of creating and editing  content
without compromising the security of other applications on the system.

Could anyone give us some tips and pointers on this?

Thanks

Re: Does OrionServer 1.3.8 work on SCO Unixware?

2001-02-19 Thread Ernst de Haan

Hi Ismael,

Orion *should* run on any operating system, as long as a working Java 2
implementation is available (J2SE 1.2 or later).

Could you try setting JAVA_COMPILER=NONE, make sure that java -version
indicates that no JIT is used and then report the exact trace again? Turning
off the JIT *may* even solve the problem, but if it won't, then at least it
will show more information w.r.t. line numbers.

The version number of your JDK indicates you're working with a custom-compiled
version of the JDK for your platform. Did you compile it yourself ? Is that
version of the JDK considered alpha or beta quality ?

Relationships between components!

2001-02-19 Thread theis . meggerle

Hi everbody!

I'm trying to create relationships between components, both within the same
jar and outside to another jar.

In the first alternative, i.e. within the same jar, I succeded in creating
the relationship, but unfortunately orion maps this to a blob. I have been
playing around with orion-ejb-jar.xml without any success. Have anyone
succeded with this?

In the second alternative, i.e. relationship to an outside jar, it does'nt
find the class (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError). Does orion support this
kind of relationships.

Sears and Orion - a hardware question

2001-02-19 Thread Kemp Randy-W18971

In following the discussions from the person working with Iplanet, I understand that 
you could have a hardware solution with multiple Orion servers.  Did I understand that 
correctly?  Let me pose a hypothetical question:
  Suppose a company the size of Sears, picked Orion and Gemstone as the solutions to 
run their e-business, and the site would have a magnitude of traffic.  The Gemstone 
respondent mentioned that VM's max out at 100-200 concurrent users, and that Gemstone 
would start or use another VM.  Could a solution be found with hardware and Orion, 
that would equal the Gemstone solution, should money be no object?  If so, then what 
would it be and how would you configure it (high level)?  Out of curiosity, what would 
be the more cost effective solution?

Mixing secure non-secure pages in the same application

2001-02-19 Thread Thomas Pridham

I have jumped through the Verisign hoops and have installed my certificate.
Here is my issue:

How do you serve both secure and non-secure pages from the same
application

Right now, my entire application is secure and served from port 443.  If
someone types in the URL, the server does not respond because I am not
running anything on port 80.  For a VERY temporary fix, I turned on IIS on
the same box, and do a redirect from IIS:80 to Orion:443. 

My goal is to have one application, serve the splash screen in non-secure
mode, and serve the rest of the screens in secure mode.

I searched the documentation / mailing list, but did not find anything.

JMS client sender to queue fails

2001-02-19 Thread Edoardo Comar

Hi. I was trying orion (1.4.7) with some code samples taken from Sun's
J2EE1.3 JMS tutorial.

one of the simplest is a client that sends a message to a queue :

snip
 jndiContext = new InitialContext();
 queueConnectionFactory =
(QueueConnectionFactory)jndiContext.lookup(INames.QUEUE_CONNECTION_FACTORY);
 queue = (Queue) jndiContext.lookup(INames.AREGON_TEST_QUEUE_1);

 queueConnection = queueConnectionFactory.createQueueConnection();
 queueSession = queueConnection.createQueueSession(false,
Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
 queueSender = queueSession.createSender(queue);

  TextMessage _message = null;
  String  _msgText = "Here is a message ";

  _message = queueSession.createTextMessage();

  for (int i = 0; i  5; i++)
  {
  _message.setText(_msgText + (i + 1));
  System.out.println("Sending message: " + _message.getText());
  queueSender.send(_message);
}
/snip


I managed to set up everything correctly (server.xml, jms.xml,
application-client.xml) I think, but at the
  queueSender.send(_message);
line, an exception is thrown :
javax.jms.JMSException: QueueConnection not started

FiveMessages(TestCaseQueueSenderClient.java:65)

Sun documentation does not require the connection to be started before
SENDING messages (it has to before RECEIVING).
Anyway, if I try and start the connection I get another exception :

RE: Any news from Orion yet??

2001-02-19 Thread Kemp Randy-W18971

Thank you for pointing me out to the site again, and I do love that site.  The article 
on Uncle Gates not liking open source is interesting.  It could be due to a government 
decision in September to allow government sites to bid on open source (I think the 
announcement is  www.mysql.com, under NASA headlines).  I find just the opposite 
position was taken when someone from Gates company complemented the Perl and Python 
usage for their net products (www.activestate.com, a while back).  Does that mean 
Uncle Bill embraces open source, when it is to the advantage of Microsoft, but fronds 
on it when it affects the bottom line? At least one good thing about J2EE technology 
-- it helps to give Gates some competition.

 Weblogic (and the high priced products like Websphere) are great, if you
 want to pay the price.  They come with nice tools like front end gui's,
 good documentation, paid support, etc.  But if you look for the opinions
 of developers who have used these products, and compared them to Orion,
 jboss, etc., they would say the EJB capacies are no better then the
 other high priced products.  In order of ranking, here's how I look at
 the other products.
 1 Orion -- This product is ready now, but I haven't seen anyone from
 this list run a Sears store on it.
 2. Jboss (www.jboss.org) -- The founders are very bright, have five
 hundred developers on the projects, have EJB heavies contributing to the
 list, and it's a very easy to use product.  Personally, even though it
 is ready for production now, I would wait for it to mature a bit more.
 It's like a fine wine -- drink it now, and it is OK, or allow it to age
 a bit then drink it (like jboss 3.0 final).
 3. Openejb (www.openejb.org) - this project has a very bright and well
 known person heading it, and it is slated to be intergrated with Tomcat
 and Apache.  It has yet to prove itself, as it is not yet ready for
 production release.  But it has good future promise.
 4. Jonas (www.evidian.com/jonas) - This is a good product, but it is not
 as advanced as the other two open source products and I don't think they
 have as many people behind them.
 5. Enhydra enterprise (www.enhydra.org).  If you like the enhydra
 application server, this product has potential.  But it is not
 production ready yet and it intergrates with the jonas server.
   In summary, Orion is here now but can it run Sears?  Jboss is ready
 but I would let it mature a bit more for production environments.
 Openejb and Enhydra have great potential, but they are not ready yet and
 have to prove themselves.  Jonas is OK but I prefer the other open
 source alternatives.

Then you are most likely (very likely) subscribed with a second address. What that 
address is you have much better chance of knowing than we do, it is *impossible* for 
us to unsubscribe people who dont even know themselves which address they're 
subscribed with, so it is important when you join a list that you remember the exact 
address you subscribed with. And even if it was possible we would not spend resources 
on that kind of activity - this list is a 'self serving' list and it's important to 
remember that.

Some common mistakes:
subscribing with [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then attempting to unsubscribe 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
subscribing with [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then attempting to unsubscribe 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or vice versa.
subscribing with [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then attempting to unsubscribe 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
or any combination of the above (there are other variants as well).

The simplest way to unsubscribe is to go to http://www.orionserver.com - mailinglist 
and enter the *address you used when you subscribed* (casing does not matter however) 
and click unsubscribe. There is a quirk however; the message you receive will be 
erronous (saying that you have subscribed) but dont worry, the action taken is still 
correct (we'll try to fix this in the near future to avoid confusion).

Of course there could be a bug in the listserver causing your phenomena, it's just 
unlikely (and we dont know of any such occurances so far) and it's a lot more common 
for users to have subscribed with multiple addresses that they forgot about.

Side note; there's been a lot of inquiries regarding a digest version of the list; the 
answer is that it's not possible right now. The best option is probably to unsubscribe 
if you have problems with the quantity of mails and instead follow it via the archives 
(external service, but linked at http://www.orionserver.com/ - mailinglist).

Another thing is for posters to go through the usual "does this benefit the 
subscribers of the list?" sanity check. For instance general J2EE technology 
(including servlets/JSP, EJB etc) questions are often better off at the 'neutral' 
***-interest lists hosts by Sun, as is general server comparisons/questions etc. 
Meanwhile Orion-Interest is geared towards technical issues related to Orion usage 
(and to view it from the other perspective: those questions should not pollute the 
'neutral' interest forums since they belong here and not there). Lastly; be sure to 
appreciate people who respond to your/others queries, and not to be annoyed if your 
particular query - they're taking time helping you simply out of friendliness, and 
that should be appreciated.

Hope it helps!

database. I then retrieve the PDF from the DB via a servlet that sets the
mime-type then outputs to the response stream. This works fine with Netscape
and IE 5.5 but with  IE 5 it displays an (mostly) empty page with a cube
icon on it (looks like an ActiveX icon). When you click on the icon it pops
up a dialog saying "Error Locating Object Handler". If I request a static
PDF IE 5 display that fine. So I'm assuming I'm not setting something on the
response properly. Any one hae any ideas?

I don't know if this is exactly your problem, be we have encountered
errors in IE's handling of PDF files if the content length in not
correctly set in the header.

Try something like this:


// The technique of writing to a byte array output stream and then
setting the content length was

// taken from Paulo Soares (see the FAQ for the iText library). If
the content length is not set then the PDF

// plugin for IE has problems with the file, especially if it is
small.


// CREATE AND SEND THE DOCUMENT.

response.setContentType( application/pdf );

ByteArrayOutputStream ba = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

createPdfDocument( ba ); // Stream the PDF file to ba

response.setContentLength( ba.size() );

ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();

ba.writeTo( out );

out.flush();


Good luck!

Is xerces.jar too old ?

2001-02-19 Thread Boris Erukhimov

Our application uses XML data exchange wrapped into HTTP.
It is handled by a servlet running under Orion and doing its own XML parsing and
generating.
We are using pretty convenient XML API (Jdom ) from http://www.jdom.org which I
highly recommend.
The jdom.jar bundle comes with the latest (?)  xerces.jar which I also copied
into /Orion/lib directory.
My standalone code worked fine, but after I placed it into servlet it did throw
NoSuchMethodException complaining at some xerces code.
Apparently Orion's classloader uses xerces.jar from the Orion root directory
prior to the one placed in Orion/lib directory.
Everything works fine after I replaced the old xerces.jar in the Orion root
directory with the new one which came with jdom.jar bundle.

I don't like that hack because it's an alteration to Orion distribution and hell
knows what side effects it may cause.
So, my question are :

Is there any way to force servlet in using certain library if there is some
naming conflict with the one in Orion root ?
Orion team, are you going to update xerces.jar in distribution ? Does it involve
any licensing issue ?

Thanks

Best practices: How to initialize state in EntityBean's superclass

2001-02-19 Thread Randahl Fink Isaksen

Suppose you have two EntityBean classes A and B which share some common
functionality and state by inheriting from the same superclass S. Then, if S
has some member variable, say a java.util.Vector called "foos", which is
part of the persistent state of both A and B, my question is this: When
should "foos" be initialized?

I am positive that the ejbCreate methods of A and B could include an
instantiation like "foos = new Vector();" but if I use this model, I have to
remember to write this instantiation into every subclass of S, and if S has
many member variables (and many subclasses) that becomes error prone. - Not
to mention that if I add a new member variable to S I have to modify all
subclasses A, B, etc. to make their ejbCreate(...) instantiate this new
variable.

My own suggestion is to define a method in S, lets call it "void
instantiateS()" and have subclasses A, B, etc. invoke this method in their
ejbCreate(...).
I believe this method should *not* be the (no-arg) constructor of S as I
expect this contructor will be called everytime an instance of A or B is
loaded from persistant storage (which is unnecessary).

What are your suggestions?
What do you do when using inheritance in your beans?

Servlet Method size limit? -- Illegal target of jump or branch

2001-02-19 Thread Neal Kaiser

I get the following error using Orion 1.4.7 w/ JDK 1.3 on Redhat.

Error creating jsp-page instance: java.lang.VerifyError: (class:
__jspPage11_register_regstep2_jsp, method: _jspService signature:
(Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest;Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletRespo
nse;)V) Illegal target of jump or branch

It is due to a large JSP file (mainly due to a lot of tags, not a lot of
logic).  If I start eliminating some of the tags (doesn't matter which ones)
the problem goes away.

I've tried increasing my JVM heap. No luck.

Where is this limitation coming from? My JVM? Orion?

The only way to get around it that works is by writing taglibs to eliminate
the amount of code in the JSP.  Any other suggestions?






RE: Best practices: How to initialize state in EntityBean's superclass

2001-02-19 Thread Conrad Chan

I am doing something very similar to what you described.  My base class is
actually coded like a Entity bean so that it has all the ejbActivate,
ejbLoad, ejbStore etc.  Hence it is a self-contained entity bean which
handles its own state information nicely and my subclasses are not required
to re-declare those dummy functions if they do not need to.

Something like the following: -

abstract class MyBase implements EntityBean {
protected transient EntityContext ctx;

Vector states;

/** My pseudo ejbCreate function */
public void ejbCreate() { 
states = new Vector();
}

public void setEntityContext(EntityContext ctx) { this.ctx = ctx; }

public void unsetEntityContext() { this.ctx = null; }

public void ejbActivate() {
states = new Vector();
}

public void ejbPassivate() {
states = null;
}

public void ejbRemove() {
stats = null;
}

public void ejbLoad() { }

public void ejbStore() { }
}

public class MySubclass extends MyBase implements EntityBean {

String value;

public Integer ejbCreate(String value) {
super.ejbCreate();

this.value = value;

return null;
}
}

Re: Mixing secure non-secure pages in the same application

2001-02-19 Thread Mark Bernardinis

That solution doesn't get around having multiple pages secure and some non
secure though. Ibelieve you need to use URL redirection within your servlets
and that should work. It would be good if we could do something similar to
Apache with the .htaccess files as that is how I have worked this solution
(only for static web site though).

Re: Servlet Method size limit? -- Illegal target of jump or branch

This has been discussed before, so there are postings in the archive.

The problem lies in the Class files themselves. Java Class files have

be the large number of string constants generated by JSP pages. I
believe that workarounds were suggested in the previous postings.

RE: Is xerces.jar too old ?

Hi,

We just had the same problems. The $ORION_HOME/xerces.jar version is old and
could not handle our need in XML parsing.
We have replaced this file by a new version and all is fine! We use Orion
1.4.4, old xerces.jar was 589 KO, and new one is 769 KO (don't know how to
check version...).

I know this is not a good solution, but Orion seems to give his own
CLASSPATH to the application he ran, so even if you had the new xerces.jar
in the CLASSPATH specified with LIB tag it'll be hidden by the Orion's one.

If some have idears on this subject...

Problems deploying a MessageDrivenBean

2001-02-19 Thread johan . o . staaf

Hi,
I am currently trying to deploy a very simple Message Driven Bean (MDB) in
Orion 1.4.5.
The MDB is subscribing to a topic. To do this I have studied the atm
application and the
logging MDB used there.

Orion deploy's my MDB without any error messages but the bean is not responding when a
message is published on the topic. To me it seems like the MDB doesn't know or 
understand
what topic it should subscribe to.

I use a client to publish a message on the topic. If I start another client 
subscribing to
the same topic, everything works fine. The jms.xml file seems to be ok.

I think I am missing something connecting the MBD with the topic in the ejb-jar.xml 
file.
When I created my ejb-jar.xml file I copied the relevant parts from the atm 
ejb-jar.xml file.
I have studied other MDB examples and tried to modify my ejb-jar.xml file according to 
those
examples but so far nothing has worked.

My MDB is the src.java.ejb.NewOrderBean and the topic name is orderTopic.

This is my ejb-jar.xml file:

  ejb-jar
enterprise-beans
  message-driven
 ejb-namesrc.java.ejb.NewOrderBean/ejb-name
 ejb-classsrc.java.ejb.NewOrderBean/ejb-class
message-selectorJMSType='orderTopic'/message-selector
 message-driven-destination
  destination-typejavax.jms.Topic/destination-type
 /message-driven-destination
  /message-driven
/enterprise-beans
  /ejb-jar

My hopes are that someone could help in this matter.
