Implementing CMP finders with non-native argument types...
I am creating a finder which takes a type of Target object to find. So, my home interface looks like this: Collection findByTarget(Target o) The SQL I want to ultimately generate should look something like this: select * from myTable where id = ?1.getId(); Please note, that what's stored in the table is something called id, but I need to extract that id from the Target by using the Target.getId() API before using it in the SQL. Is there a way to do this, or are CMP finders always doomed to accept only primitive types? Thanks. -AP_
EJB encapsulation (data hiding) pattern... Is there such a thing?
I am trying to model a Person having many Phones with two Entity beans. Person and Phone are both entity beans. But I do not want to allow anyone to manipulate the Phone directly. I only want Person to be able to: Person.addPhone(PhoneValue) Person.removePhone(PhoneKey) Person.updatePhone(PhoneKey, PhoneValue) Person.getPhones(). In other words, Phone is treated like a dependent (except on advice of others, I have stopped using dependent objects). Is there a way I can enforce this? In other words, how can I stop any one except Person, from using the PhoneHome/PhoneBean directly? The reason I need to do this, is because Person performs additional logic when phones are added or removed or changed. This logic, must always be performed, so I do not want someone to use the PhoneHome to find the Phone and change it without the person knowing. -AP_ www: http://www.standardset.com resume: http://www.standardset.com/resume_body.jsp home: (818) 541-0029
PostqreSQL with Orion (oid)
Hello. My suspicion is that Orion's DB-Mapping (CMP) doesn't work well when it comes to tables that have OID fields. My experiments suggest that whenever a table has to be generated that has OID-fields, the following exception will be thrown just after having executed the ejbCreate() Method of the EJB in question: com.evermind.server.rmi.OrionRemoteException: Transaction was rolled back: Database error: InputStream as parameter not supported at java.lang.Throwable.init(Throwable.java:96) at java.lang.Exception.init(Exception.java:44) at java.io.IOException.init(IOException.java:49) at java.rmi.RemoteException.init(RemoteException.java:58) at com.evermind.server.rmi.OrionRemoteException.init(JAX) at ChangeManagerHome_EntityHomeWrapper7.create(ChangeManagerHome_EntityHome Wrapper7.java:542) at ejb.ProjectSessionEJB.getChangeManager(ProjectSessionEJB.java:95) at ejb.ProjectSessionEJB.ejbCreate(ProjectSessionEJB.java:111) at ProjectSessionHome_StatefulSessionHomeWrapper2.create(ProjectSessionHome _StatefulSessionHomeWrapper2.java:36) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at com.evermind.server.rmi.bc.do(JAX) at com.evermind.util.f.run(JAX) Nested exception is: InputStream as parameter not supported at java.lang.Throwable.init(Throwable.java:84) at java.lang.Exception.init(Exception.java:35) at java.sql.SQLException.init(SQLException.java:100) at org.postgresql.util.PSQLException.init(PSQLException.java:22) at org.postgresql.jdbc2.PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream(PreparedStatement .java:417) at com.evermind.sql.ao.setBinaryStream(JAX) at com.evermind.sql.ao.setBinaryStream(JAX) at com.evermind.server.ejb.EntityEJBObject.storeObject(JAX) at ChangeManagerHome_EntityHomeWrapper7.create(ChangeManagerHome_EntityHome Wrapper7.java:432) at ejb.ProjectSessionEJB.getChangeManager(ProjectSessionEJB.java:95) at ejb.ProjectSessionEJB.ejbCreate(ProjectSessionEJB.java:111) at ProjectSessionHome_StatefulSessionHomeWrapper2.create(ProjectSessionHome _StatefulSessionHomeWrapper2.java:36) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at com.evermind.server.rmi.bc.do(JAX) at com.evermind.util.f.run(JAX) IMHO, the JDBC driver of PostgreSQL (jdbc7.0-1.2.jar) is capable of handling OIDs correctly, because I successfully tried the same setup with jBoss/PostgreSQL.

Re: JDom and Orion
Well, David Kinnvall, did you ever get into any trouble from replacing the versions of Xerces and Xalan in Orion? Randahl Hi Mark, and the list, I ran into this as well, just two days ago. I tried putting the new xerces.jar in WEB-INF/lib as well as in orion/lib, with no effect. Finally I simply replaced the $ORION_DIR/xerces.jar with the new one as you are thinking about. It worked nicely, and I have not seen any ill effects from it yet. JDOM is very nice! I guess your question is still valid though: Are there any bad effects from doing this that will surface along the road that I haven't seen yet? Something that is not triggered by my current code? Or is Orion compatible with newer versions of Xerces? Oh, almost forgot, I took the opportunity to replace the old Xalan with the latest one as well... Regards, David.
RE: EJB encapsulation (data hiding) pattern... Is there such a thing?
If you have control over the deployment assembly maybe you can use the "run-as-specified-identity" security configuration for your Person, then only allow that role to invoke methods on Phone. I may be way off base here since I have never tried to do this, but I thought I would throw it out. -jason
Is Orion compatible with the latest versions of Xalan and Xerces?
Is Orion compatible with the latest versions of Xalan and Xerces? - I expect that is a question of whether the latest versions of Xalan and Xerces are backward compatible... does anyone know from (documentation or) experience? R.
RE: Case insensitive primary keys
Thanks for everyone's comments. From: Rafael Alvarez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] You can do two things: .- In the EJBCreate change the user name to Upper or Lower case when setting it. Also in the PK class change it to Upper or Lower case. Not a good solution for me, because I want to preserve case. I don't want to maintain a second field with the correct case; I might as well use an integer key. .- Override the PK class equal() method, to compare the username in Upper(Lower)case. How does this work? Doesn't the database need to be made aware of the insensitivity? How would finders work? I'm confused about how an app server handles this. Any information would be very helpful :-) Thanks, Jeff Thursday, March 08, 2001, 7:30:39 PM, you wrote: JS I have a primary key which is a string (user's name), and I would like JS it to be case-insensitive.

RE: UserManager
The easiest way is to use the EJBUser usermanager. You will need to refer to the ejb in your ejb-jar.xml. There is an orion security adapter available for the petstore example, and this works well with the EJBUser usermanager as long as you have the entity bean reference as noted below. Of course, you will need to specify your security roles in the web.xml document.

Re: EJB Clustering
william, look for the clustering guide on www.orionserver.comin the documentation section, then maybe post some more questions once you've given it a try. it works like you describe, in that starting the load balancer takes all requests and redirects to instances of orion. cheers, greg. - Original Message - From: William Jones To: Orion-Interest Sent: Friday, March 09, 2001 7:32 PM Subject: EJB Clustering I would like to find out if anybody out there has done much with clustering EJB (or RMI) servers using Orion. We will be running an operation that will need to be large, scalable and have a failsafe level of availability. In other words there should be no single point of failure. Obviously running a single EJB server will lead to a single point of failure in the infrastructure (and obviously limits scalability also). What we sould like to do is have the ability to run several clustered EJB servers so as to provide the ability to scale (add more servers to the cluster) and failover (if one falls the others pick up the slack). The classic solution to this sort of clustering (e.g. when done with web servers) is to place a local director in front of the cluster. Then all requests are sent the the IP of the local director which just routes them through to one of the machines in the cluster. The obvious problem when doing this with RMI/EJB is that when the remote interfaces (well, stubs really) do a bind() into JNDI the IP address of the machine is bound in with it. This means that requests made through that stub will go back to the machine doing the registering and not the local director, which defeats the local director. Weblogic supportsclustering by providing its own (proprietry, yuk) version of rmic(c.f. http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/classdocs/API_rmi.html#compiler), but I am not aware of anything similar in Orion. (By the way, please can no-one interpret this comment as being anything of the "WL is better than Orion" sort... it is clear most of us that Orion is superior in most aspects). For RMI we have implemented a solution that invloves binding different instances of the same RMI service as different entries in the same JNDI directory and using a central service (or array of them) to pass out the stubs from the JNDI tree in a round robin fashion to clients that request them. (e.g. two services to implement logging bind to "rmi/com/amc/system/logging/LoggingService/bart" and "rmi/com/amc/system/logging/LoggingService/homer", clients make a request for com.amc.system.logging.LoggingService.class and receive back a stub for one or there of the services). I can't see that this approach will work with EJBs as you don't seem to have control over to where in the JNDI tree the stubs are bound (the mapping of JNDI name to remote interface is done in the application-client.xml!) Can anyone give me any insights on other ways to approach clustering of EJB services using Orion? Thanks in advance... William Jones asset-management.com

RE: Session cookie and https. PLEASE HELP!!!!
basically, cookies are URL spec (as per the spec, check it out in Netscape Central) URL dependant; if you send a cookie for a URL http://www.yahoo.com then that cookie is valid for that URL only; that cookie won't show up for URL https://www.yahoo.com (note the different protocol, https, instead of http); there's a way to make a cookie public for all URL's, but of course, that might compromise security; that's what orion does when you set 'shared="true"'.

Stateless Session Bean Initialization Pattern
Hi. I have a framework as follows: A startup servlet reads in an XML file and creates a message bundle. This message bundle will be used by Servlets and EJBs to pull resources from it. I somehow need a way to initialize the stateless session bean by passing the message bundle to it. When the startup servlet starts, I get a reference to the session bean and call init(MessageBundle). However, this does not work because other instances of the session bean will not be initialized. I need some sort of static variable, or environment, or some way I can get the original MessageBundle passed in from the startup servlet. Any suggestions on how I should handle this? I suppose one solution would be to use JNDI and store the object in there. Are there any Orion examples of how to do this?
