SV: request.getHeaders() totally broken
Title: SV: request.getHeaders() totally broken Hi. You better report this to Bugzilla. For the second part (multiple header statements), Isnt that suposed to go into a single header? Accept: a,b,c,d ? WR -Ursprungligt meddelande- Från: Gerald Gutierrez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Skickat: den 4 april 2001 15:02 Till: Orion-Interest Ämne: request.getHeaders() totally broken It seems that request.getHeaders() is completely broken in Orion 1.4.7. If I call: request.getHeaders(Accept) And the HTTP request has the HTTP header: Accept: (that is Accept header with no value), Orion happily goes into an infinite loop and then eventually breaks out with an OutOfMemoryError. If, instead, I give it the headers: Accept: a Accept: b Accept: c Accept: d then getHeaders() just gives me the value of the first header (i.e. an enumeration with one element, with the value a) and ignores all the rest. This cannot be intended behaviour. Has anyone else noticed this bug?

Re: How to run ORION on different ports
Hi Mohan, If you mean that you want to have two different orion instances running, you just have to copy the configuration files to some other directory, modify the paths and ports appropriately so they don't collide and then start orion with the option "-config [NEW_CONFIG_DIRECTORY]/server.xml" where [NEW_CONFIG_DIRECTORY] must be substituted with the directory where you put your new configuration files. We have about 9 different instances running with 1-2 web applications per instance. Why? Because this way when we have to upgrade an application and we have to tinker with one of the instances, we are pretty sure nothing is going to happen to the other applications. We also have different logging directories per instance, blah, blah so debugging is easier. Now that hot-deployment is becoming a reality, we might start gathering applications in common instances but in the mean time, we feel safer with separate instances and development and production should definitely be in different ones. The biggest drawback of this solution is that you need more HTTP ports and the only standard one is 80. We have solved it by using an Apache instance as a proxy in the 80 port and redirect from there to the appropriate host/port. This also allows us to show an appropriate "Application is being manteined" message automatically when an instance fails, instead of the browser answering "server could be down or not responding". Another added benefit is that we can distribute our applications among different hosts just by changing the proxy configuration: no html links have to be changed, no users have to be told "the URL was X but now is Y". We know that this means a second trip but as we proxy all non-dynamic content in the Apache server and our problem is not traffic and speed but number of applications and flexibility, then it's a price we are willing to pay. Just my 2c, Dan mohan krishna wrote: Hello, I am interested to run orion on multiple ports... Consider the following scenario : There is only one single server for production and development.

Re: orion with mysql?
[...] We also tried Hypersonic, but it seems that when both Orion and JBuilder communicate with the db the db gets confused. At least the changes we make in JBuilder don't get updated.

orion + jbuilder4 -- sapdb?
Thank you for everyone answering my MySQL question. So, it appears that the situation is this, if I want to use Orion + JBuilder4: * PostgreSQL works fine except it isn't able to show tables in JBuilder * MySQL's EJB support doesn't work (and we need that!) * If we want to use Hypersonic we have to stop Orion while updating the db So, the question is, does SapDB work with our combination (has anyone used it with JBuilder and Orion)?

Hi Peter I have not read your original post, nor the replies. However, I just wanted to recommend using Interbase. If you want to use Borland JBuilder, it seems obvious to use Borland Interbase aswell - I am not completely up to speed with JBuilder, but I would expect that their own database product would have the best integration with their IDE. We have chosen Interbase because it is an old, high quality, reliable product from Borland. I have absolutely nothing against Postgre or MySQL, but the fact that Borland has released Interbase as a free open source product gives you free access to a database which has been through 15 years of professional development.

Re: orion + jbuilder4 -- sapdb?
I always like to pitch SapDB, because like Interbase, SAP DB, from the folks who brought us SAP R/3 etc has been around the block. Has a lot of good stuff: Referential Integrity, Triggers, Stored Procs, updateable views, subselects and outer joins, scrollable cursors, plus maintenance-wise it has online backup, online expansion of the db, a solid set of commandline and gui-based maintenance tools (some are available on Windows platforms only, for now) an active user community, an active and helpful news group, and active support from a reasonable-sized team of developers at SAP Labs in Berlin. The programming interfaces include ODBC, C/C++ precompiler, JDBC (the one I use - it has a type4 jdbc driver that is pretty solid), Perl DBI, Python, and PHP. Backup tools that can be used are: ADSM + adint2 Networker Netvault, HiBack (soon) Backint for Oracle Tools supporting this interface are: ARCserve, Backup Express, dbBRZ for R/3, DBVAULT, DoroStore, EASY_BASE, EMC, EPOCH, FDR/UPSTREAM, HIBACK, HSMS-CL Backint, NetBackup, NetVault, NetWorker, Omniback, Seagate Backup, SESAM, Solstice Backup, Sys-Save, TIME NAVIGATOR for R/3, Tivoli I believe they have something like 800 clients using it with an implementation of SAP R/3. It has its quirks, here and there, which you'll notice if you try and get the Petstore to work with it. But I think it is a great product, works well with Orion, handles CMP in a dandy fashion. Etc. I would encourage at least evaluating the product. However, I am forgetting about your question, and that is does it work with JBuilder4 and how does it compare to MySQL and postresql? I haven't worked with postgresql, perhaps another person can speak to that, but I have use MySQL. MySQL is unbelievably quick, and while there is now transaction support that is coming out of the mysql camp - we decided to look at databases that already had it and stumbled on this one (SAP DB). It is quick as well and does what we want. It has a larger footprint than MySQL, but that would be expected. It's a quick db as well and has a lot of configurable options to help out in that arena. Does it work with JBuilder4? Don't know! I don't see why it wouldn't, but I'm a UltraEdit/Vi-Ant guy so I can't speak for it - again perhaps someone else on the list can shed some light. There was another posting that suggested using Interbase with JBuilder4 - that is certainly a good idea since Borland and JBuilder have been so closely linked. I have used Interbase and JBuilder before but that was several years ago (They worked then!)

Hi all, Thank you all for ur advices on my RMI/IIOP support question... There is another area i need help... Assumption: we would have CMP beans I am reading about SAPdb, and since it claims to have transaction support and row level locking, (which some other open source databses seem to be lacking) i am inclined to show some interest in SAPdb. Now, has anyone here used SAPdb in any project environments? Is there any particular aspect(s) that i need to be wary of? PS: I am not considering oracle primarily because it's license fee... Any sort of comment on SAPdb or a viable alternative is highly appreciated. Thanks again, Jobin Thomas

I'd confirm the concerns listed below.

RE: WE NEED NEWS! We need to know Orion is alive well!
We paid for a license. All of our emails / calls / faxes went unanswered until I complained on this mailing list. I would suggest not buying a license, unless you are prepared to "go it alone". Orion is a great product, but customer support is horrible! I would develop the app on Orion and then deploy on either JBoss or Enhydra Enterprise. I don't think we should give IronFlare anymore money until they start supporting their customers correctly. The part that is killing me, is Orion is a great product and could be a great competitor to the big guys in the J2EE app server market. However, by not providing the bare-bones customer support needed, IronFlare will eventually fail since they are now making a very bad name for themselves in the eyes of alot of J2EE developers.

So, while you can use MySQL with Orion you can't do EJB unless you switch over to SAPdb, PostgresSQL, or db. -Original Message- From: Geoff Marshall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2001 3:52 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Re: orion with mysql?

RE: orion + jbuilder4 -- sapdb?
The only product that can beat it is Oracle, but that's not an option for everyone, because of the cost. Since there are so many good, free database products, such as Interbase, Postgresql, Mysql, SapDB, etc., you really can pick and choose. For the record, all of these databases have been around in some form or another for approximately fifteen years. Even mysql, which was formed as a company only five years ago, had the database product around ten years before that.

Question on Deploying an Enterprise App
Hi , I have an application which consists on several enterprise beans. All the beans access several helper class (Data access objects, etc). I need to now what is the best way of deploying the application in the Orion server. My first attempts at this were 1. Compile the ejbs into ejb jars 2. Compile the web components in war files. 3. Compile the helper class into jar files. 4. Create the Ear file consisting of the ejb-jar and war file. Now when I run the server I need to export the cleasspath containing my helper classes (the jar file refered in 3). But when I invoke orion server using java -jar orion.jar , it overrides my system classpath with the classpath in the manifest. So, is this not a recommonded way to deploy the application. If not, it would be of immense help , if someone can provide advice/pointers. regards, abhilash
How to set the X-Window DISPLAY on Orion
Hi, We're using Oracle Reports Server on UNIX with Orion. Oracle Reports requires an X-Windows session on UNIX platforms. Basic inquiries such as font availability and font metrics are resolved through X-Windows, not just rasterization of graphic images. Reports is a bitmapped product and needs a window runtime environment. So I've set up a Virtual Frame Buffer using Xvfb I did some testing and when I set the DISPLAY=:1.0 and run xclock the virtual frame buffer works just fine. But whenever we attempt to use Reports without an Xterm running we get "can't open display". So I believe the issue is actually with the Application Server not knowing where to look for the DISPLAY. My understanding is that with Apache's JServer you can tell it to use the Xvfb instead of the the normal X server by making an entry in the jserv.properties file. How can I do this with Orion? Thanks! Rob Lent Lead Database Analyst AXA Client Services

RE: orion + jbuilder4 -- sapdb?
I believe Interbase is totally free. For some reason Borland does not emphasize this very much - maybe to make sure people don't think it is a discount product. Interbase is released under a licence which besides the usual juristical mumbo jumbo says the following three important things: "grants You a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license" (...) "to use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, sublicense and distribute the Original Code (or portions thereof) with or without Modifications, and/or as part of a Larger Work;" (...) "under Patents Claims infringed by the making, using or selling of Original Code, to make, have made, use, practice, sell, and offer for sale, and/or otherwise dispose of the Original Code (or portions thereof)." And I feel sure that if it was not for these sentences there would not be an open source project based on Interbase called "Firebird" at http://firebird.sourceforge.net. - That's interesting by the way... when Interbase went open source Borland was slow on getting up to speed with the open source web community stuff, so the open source developers took the project elsewhere and renamed it "Firebird", which means that Borland has no control over what happens with the Firebird project. - Probably not what Borland expected at all. Now the developers at "Firebird" claim they have made a bunch of bug fixes which should be the reason to choose their product. Still, we are definately going to stick with Borland for now; after all they have many years of experience with developing the product, so having them control the open source effort somewhat might be a good thing.

RE: WE NEED NEWS! We need to know Orion is alive well!
guys, as someone who has been dealing with theses issues for over 1 1/2 years of using orion (1 year in production for a number of applications) I would just advise you to save your breath and make your decision based on what's there now. several people (including myself) have made pleas like you a number of times and not much has changed but I (or better we) have decided that orion has reached a level of maturity that is ok for us and that it is an unbeatable deal for certain requirements if you can live the risks that are certainly there. we now know, which features are reliable and we stick to using those only. there are probably a number of major bugs still waiting to be discovered which might cause serious problems in your projects without any guarantee when they will be fixed. my advice is, set up your system, test extensively and then decide whether to buy or not (if you can afford that approach, of course). if you cannot live without that extra bit of security, you'll have to spend a heck of a lot more money for similar features. it's a trade-off but don't bet on anything happening at ironflare that hasn't happened yet. best regards, robert At 22:48 05.04.2001 , you wrote: I'd confirm the concerns listed below.

RE: orion with mysql?
Actually MySQL does support transactions. You just need to use a database file format that supports transactions (e.g. Berkeley DB, et al). The mm.mysql driver also supports transactions, and its easy to setup to work with transactions. The real problem is that the driver doesn't handle transactions the way the specification wants them to. -Original Message- From: Kiss Tibor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2001 1:31 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: RE: orion with mysql?

You only need a schema if you intend to do CMP EJBs. If you're not using EJB at all then theres no reason you couldn't use MySQL. But, while its not to hard to make a schema that complies with MySQL somewhere in between MySQL and the mm.mysql driver the EJB transaction support falls apart. My inclination is that its the mm.mysql driver itself, and the real problem is just that transaction support is not implimented in a way that complies with the EJB spec (e.g. javax.transaction doesn't occur anywhere in the source). So, while you can use MySQL with Orion you can't do EJB unless you switch over to SAPdb, PostgresSQL, or db. -Original Message- From: Geoff Marshall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2001 3:52 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Re: orion with mysql?

Re: orion with mysql?
Sounds like you need to turn off exclusive-write-access in orion-ejb-jar.xml while you're putzing with the database outside of the application. We're running with SQL Server 7 (*gasp*) and Orion will try to "fix" any manual changes we make to the database through the admin console. Otherwise, we have to shutdown Orion, make the changes, and restart. The performance hit is huge, so you wouldn't want to leave it turned off, but Orion will basically go talk to the database at every accessor to make sure that it's got the latest data and not assume that Orion knows best.

Datasource confusion
Dear All, I am trying to use MySQL and Orion where the MySQL database is located on a different host than Orion is. The beans look up the datasource in JNDI. I've specified the datasource in in ejb-jar.xml. (The resource-ref thingy) This is found, becasue I no longer get naming exceptions. In data-sources.xml, I have specified the proper database URI (jdbc:mysql://luggage/log). However, I get an exception saying that on localhost there is no mysql database (which is true, 'cuz it's on luggage). Obviously Orion is feeding the bean a database URI that points to localhost. How can I tell Orion to use the database on the other machine? I've tried shouting in the floppy drive, but that does not help either. :-/ Kees Jan You are only young once, but you can stay immature all your life.

EJB connection
We use resin 1.2.2 as a client of Orion EJB server. it works, but after runing several hours, it will throw one exception: Object reference no longer valid (Disconnected) it occurs in the DoGET method when i call the method of EJB of orion. we look and create ejb object in the init mothod of servlet. will we move the looking and creating method into DoGet method and execute it every time? or it's a BUG of resin? It looks to me like an Orion issue, but it's possibly something your i restart the resin, then it works again. So it maybe some bug in resin or the orion's class file called by resin. application needs to deal with. I would think that Orion client code should automatically reconnect when the socket to Orion closes. You could recover by using EJBObject.getHandle() and then using handle.getEJBObject(). That should be faster than doing the full JNDI lookup. thks, i will try. -- Peng Yong Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bentium Ltd. URL: http://www.cn99.com
RE: WE NEED NEWS! We need to know Orion is alive well!
How many people are actually working on Orion, and what is their forte? Most likely, it is probably developed and maintain by a small number (maybe under six).

RE: bugs orion support etc
There are some excellent thoughts expressed here. I too, am happy Orion is free for development, and I love the product. If you look into some of the open source DB servers, such as Mysql, Postgresql, and SapDB, all offer some sort of support contracts for a price. Usually, for development, you would spend time reading the documentation, asking questions on user lists, trial and error, etc., but management normally feels safer with a support contract, whether it is any good or not, is an entirely different matter. I think Orion is just going through some growing pains, and they are probably more successful then anticipated, and will probably cope with these problems in time. -Original Message-From: cybermaster [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2001 12:34 PMTo: Orion-InterestSubject: bugs orion support etc Since there have been quite a few comments about support (or the lack of it) on this mailing list, Id like to add my own 5c: At least 95% of the time I have a problem it is a typo or some issues I didnt understand correctly from the messages I see on this mailing list, I suspect it is the same for most other participants Although we always wish for more, browsing through orionserver/orionsupport/jollem yields quite a bit of info but of course it takes more time to search oneself than trying to get someone who knows on the phone or by email Support costs money I suggest that Orion or Ironflare or whatever the name of the company hires (a) support person(s) and offers a paid service; maybe they need to find out first how many developers/companies are interested and how much they are willing to dish out for it (there could be more than one level of support) I am grateful that Orion is free for development and is packed with features, but realize that when deployment time comes along, I may want to rely on an official support service.

Re: Orion CMP
After configuring data-sources.xml, you have to make sure all your beans are looking for the right datasource. This is defined in the orion-ejb-jar.xml file. In the entity-deployment tag, there's an entry of data-source="". you're gonna have to change this from what I'm assuming it is now, "jdbc/HypersonicDS", to "jdbc/OracleDS". Jeff.

Re: Bi-directional relations (my kludge)
I have found the lack of bi-directional support very frustrating, and think that it so impedes CMP functionality that it should be qualified as a bug, and not a pending feature. I also don't see what the big technical challenge in implementing it would be. If Orion is going to be this sluggish with support and new features, I would ask them to consider going open source. Let me fix it if you won't--do you hear me Orion guys? My workaround is to manage the relations with a 'RelationManager' session bean. For n-m relations, I create my join tables with composite primary keys, as in (for hsql): CREATE TABLE User_Order ( userId CHAR(37)NOT NULL, orderIdCHAR(37)NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (userId, orderId)); Then in the session bean, I explicitly create both sides of the relationship (eg. user.addOrder(order) and order.addUser(user) ) and catch the duplicate key exception, as in: user.addOrder(order); if(NON_DIRECTIONAL_BUG) { try { order.addUser(user); } catch(EJBException e) { // for Orion 1.4.7 bidirectional bug; } } When (if) Orion fixes this bug, the modifications to my code will be slight. - Original Message - From: "Ray Harrison" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Orion-Interest" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2001 10:50 AM Subject: Re: Bi-directional relations Nope. --- Patrik Andersson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does bi-directional relations work yet?

Re: Bi-directional relations (my kludge)
This might come as a bit of a surprise...but bi-directional relationships are a feature of EJB2.0, which is not final, and in fact if the rumours are to be believed, will undergo major changes in the next draft. I find it astounding that someone thinks that incomplete partial support for a moving target of a spec is a 'bug'. Most app servers support NONE of EJB 2.0. And certainly, of those that do, not a single one has 'complete' support for it. Even Sun's RI blows up in various ways when using EJB 2.0 beans. If you feel that adding bi-directional CMP in accordance with the latest incarnation of the spec is easy, and keeping that in sync (in a timely fashion) with the spec, then you should start your own appserver. You'll have a huge following I'm sure, if you deliver.
