Re: During development, how to allow only a couple of ips,including mylocal system, to view the site?
Hi Kev, I had a similar problem but for my production applications. I wanted my solution to be flexible and server independent so what I did was create a servlet filter, as someone else has already suggested. I've had it for production for almost a month and so far so good. I have to admit that I went a little further down the road and I allowed to specify the IP/hostnames to be allowed denied through an xml file that can be read from a file, a URL or a database. That way I got maximum flexibility. These are the links that I used to create my filter: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Servlets/servletapi2.3\ http://www.orionserver.com/tutorials/filters/ I hope this helps, Dan Kevin Duffey wrote: Hi all, I would like to block out ALL ips from viewing my site (using my static ip) except for a few ips, which are from co-workers over the internet.

Re: SV: Error deserializing session
For a stateful session bean, you need to ensure that anything to be serialized is Serializable (ie. implements java.io.Serializable), or is a primitive type. If there is stuff you don't want/need to be serialized you should explicitly declare it transient, and set the appropriate values in a method called: public void setSessionContext( javax.ejb.SessionContext ) throws RemoteException which is called when the session bean is reactivated.

Re: How to start EJB development using Orion?
Have you put all your ejb classes, along with the META-INF/ejb-jar.xml file into a jar yet? After you do that, you have to add an ejb-module.. line to your application.xml in the config directory. Look at the documentation on application.xml to find out what parameters you must specify. The best thing to do in my mind would be to get a good EJB book and walk through some of the examples. Oreilly's Enterprise JavaBeans 2nd edition is great. Jeff.

Alternative Deployment
Hi, I have been monitoring the orion news group for some 5 months now and I have never seen the contributers so dejected and negative about its creators as they have of late. Don't get me wrong, I think that Orion is a fantastic application server, but the creators have seemingly fallen of the planet, the 'new' company has never appeared and confidence in their ability to support the product seems to be at an all time low. As a developer I am inclined to stick with orion for development because it's quick and easy to use. But for deployment our site needs to be up 24x7 and orion with its many support issues is starting to look like a huge risk. My questions are: a] What are people using for deployment on high profile sites (as an alternative to orion - if at all)? b] What do people consider to be the best alternative/backup application server to orion (Considering we need J2EE compliance (jsp and ejb), we have a tight budget and support is essential)? Currently our live site is operating on a more expensive application server, but Ideally we would like to move away to something as good as and as good value as Orion. Thanks in advance, Calvin
When trying to parse jsp inside a servlet - 404
Hello,
I have the following method in a class derived from HttpServlet:
public synchronized void service(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException,IOException {
RequestDispatcher disp = getServletContext().getNamedDispatcher("jsp");
disp.forward(req, res);
}
and i keep getting a 404(file not found), but i have associated the file with a
url-pattern, which differs from /*.jsp, so the file is there.
How do i involk the com.evermind.server.http.JSPServlet, to parse this given request.
p.s. im actually trying to use jsp as a preprocessor for generation of scripts which
will then be converted to a binairy reponse. I hope im correct when i use the
RequestDispatcher.include() with a ServletResponse(implementation), which i will
convert to a String.

Thanks for the wonderful update, and for three fellows from Sweden, they are doing a great job of building a low-cost, application server. I do hope they can build some great partnerships with other companies to provide support contracts, and maybe a technical writer to enhance the documentation. Personally, I like to see this technology as accessible to as many people as possible.

RE: Alternative Deployment
Calvin: There are approximately 35 servers, according to the flash matrix comparison. You should not give up on Orion, but a backup plan is good. Unfortunately, there is nothing really good in the Orion price range, and if you can afford it, Web logic is probably the way to go (given they have a great market share, support, EBB 2.0 compliance, etc.). If you look at the open source initiatives, you're best to run with jboss/jetty or jboss/tomcat. According to their web site testimonials, some are running in production now. If you don't mind paying around five thousand, then Jrun is fairly good, and I haven't heard much bad press about it. Personally, I run Oracle 8I, and if you are running Oracle, the EJB technology is thrown is as a gift.

transaction within a message bean
Hello ! Does anybody know how to set up transaction with in a message driven bean? I have tried to use transactions in my Message Driven Bean inside Orion. Once the code I hits the line getUserTransaction() I got the following exception with the stack trace: MessageBean: Exception thrown:java.lang.IllegalStateException: Only beans with user-managed transactions can invoke getUserTransaction() java.lang.IllegalStateException: Only beans with user-managed transactions can invoke getUserTransaction() at com.evermind.server.ejb.AbstractEJBContext.getUserTransaction(JAX) at com.platespin.silo.ejb.IniOperatorBean.onMessage(IniOperatorBean.java:14 4) at com.evermind.server.ejb.gn.run(JAX) at com.evermind.util.f.run(JAX) It looks like that the way that I am using transactions within a Message Driven Bean is illegal.

Creating new CMP records
I have a CMP EJB that has a foreign key field in it (DepartmentID). This field can be null (removed other fields for simplicity): CREATE TABLE ACTIVITY ( ACTIVITYID NUMBERNOT NULL, DEPARTMENTID NUMBER ) The ActivityID and DepartmentID are class variables of the EJB. I'm trying to create a record with no DepartmentID. But the value of the DepartmentID is always 0 (zero) because ints default to 0. The end result is a constraint error because there is no department with ID=0. My question: How can I tell orion to create the new record with a null value for DepartmentID instead of 0. - Eduardo Estefano Integrated Information Systems
RE: Alternative Deployment
Title: RE: Alternative Deployment You could also approach this problem by building the entire environment so that you can tolerate failure of the application server and can replace it partially or entirely with another product.

RE: EntityBean Events inside tx.
Firstly, I wanted to thank the list for all the responses I had. But, the problem is that the suggested solutions involve using 'Transacted JMS' services. I have not been able to make JMS aware of the transacions it is running on. Messages always get sent, inspite of eventual rollbacks. I only wanted to know if anyone got this working under Orion 1.4.7 Thanks in advance Ramiro Diaz Trepat Opetra "Day, Jem BGI WAC" [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: Orion-Interest [EMAIL PROTECTED] mcc: Sent by: Subject: RE: EntityBean Events inside tx. owner-orion-interest@orion server.com 03/04/2001 02:21 p.m. Please respond to Orion-Interest Here's a description of an implementation of the Observer pattern for EJB. http://www.theserverside.com/resources/ObserverPattern.jsp An alternative is to implement your 'Change Events' as JMS messages, if you are using 'Transacted JMS' messages are only 'published' when the encompassing Tx is committed. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2001 8:25 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: EntityBean Events inside tx. We would like our entity beans to propagate events in the same fashion than regular java beans. Therefore we must, for example, send events notifying of property changes inside the bean. The problem with this is that we don't know if this method was called inside a transaction that might be rolled back later on, and hence the property change event should not have been sent at all. Clearly, we want to propagate the events only when the transactions are commited. Is there a standard "pattern" to manage this sort of thing ? TIA Ramiro Diaz Trepat Opetra

Callbacks on session beans... are they legal?
Is it legal for session bean A to create session bean B, and pass it to session bean C so that C can call on B? For example, if A is acting as a controller, B is acting as a factory, and C is acting as an algorithm. So a controller needs to execute an algorithm which requires a factory as one of it's parameters. As the algorithm runs, it calls on the factory to create the resources it needs. Thanks. -AP_

However, I can find *no* information about how to inform Orion about the existence of these files. I was trying to follow http://www.orionserver.com/tutorials/ejbtutorial.html, but it references a config/ejb.xml file which simply doesn't exist. I'm guessing it's old. Is there a simple step-by-step explanation of which files need to be modified, in what order, and what else I need to do to start doing development work?

Re: WE NEED NEWS! We need to know Orion is alive well!
I met Karl Avedal yesterday at a Java forum in Stockholm. They're 3 employees as of today, and probably two more joining up shortly. He spoke of an organic expansion of Ironflare AB. The main effort is to build partner ships with other companies regarding support of the product, and to start selling support packs. The license fee for Orion will remain the same. The support pack is of course another issue. The reason for partners is that the employees of Ironflare today are technicians and like to keep doing what they do - programming on the server. Keeping the license fee low will enable developers to bundle the AS, keeping the costs low. regards Johan - Original Message - From: Dan North [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Orion-Interest [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 06, 2001 11:11 AM Subject: RE: WE NEED NEWS!
