Re: Servlet and CSS
Use Netscape to develop this for the first time, since Netscape complains more ( Netscape 6 is worst / best ). the file blaf.css as you have now written the code is assumed to be in the /servlet dir, which probably is not the case. Use something like request.getContextPath()+/css/blaf.css which assumes your css is in the appname-web/css/ directory. ( The app can be mounted anywhere, request.getContextPath() handles that. ) Johan - Original Message - From: Holden Glova [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Orion-Interest [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2001 3:57 AM Subject: Re: Servlet and CSS Brynolf Andersson wrote: Hi all gurus, I am trying to include a CSS in my servlet: out.println(html); out.println(head); out.println(titleUntitled Document/title); out.println(meta http-equiv=\Content-Type\ content=\text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\); out.println(link rel=\StyleSheet\ href=\blaf.css\ type=\text/css\); out.println(/head); But it won't work for me.

I am developing a system using Orion, I have developed a previous system using the server. The first system was using a web front end and included jsp, sevlets and different EJBS. The current system I want to develop is a RMI front end and an EJB back end. I have not done this before and I am finding it hard to develop the RMI Client. From what I can understand is that a RMI Client must be included in the Orion server, but I thought the point of RMI was to be able to distribute the system across many machines and not just in a single server. I have found it therefore hard to follow the examples and develop a test application. Can anyone give me some help with the processes that are involved with this method of development.

RE: Servlet and CSS
Hi, You have not put an absolute path on your href, so the webbrowser will generate an absolute path by merging this filename with the URL it loaded the parent document from (ie your servlet's URL). Are you accessing your servlet as http://host:port/servlet/serletname? If so, then the webbrowser will request http://host:port/servlet/blaf.css, which I suspect doesn't exist. Either: (a) put an absolute path on your href for the css (b) put a relative path (eg ../blaf.css, which will resolve to http://host:port/servlet/../blaf.css, ie http://host:port/blaf.cxx) (c) use the servlet-mapping tag in WEB-INF/web.xml so that your servlet appears to be in the same directory as you want to put your stylesheet file in.

Transaction and DriverManagerXADataSource
Hello everyone, I am new to orion server and am trying to find out how to use transaction handling within orion. Now within the datasource.xml file. I have got something like this data-source class=com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource name=OracleDS location=jdbc/OracleCoreDS source-location = c:\orion\j2ee\home\orion.jar xa-location=jdbc/xa/OracleXADS ejb-location=jdbc/OracleDS connection-driver=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver username=scott password=tiger url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.0.5:1521:dcom inactivity-timeout=30 / In this case when I am using the code in the client as InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(); DataSource ds = (DataSource)ic.lookup(jdbc/OracleDS); Connection con = ds.getConnection(); then the pooled connection happens. As I understand there is a place where the transactions can be rolled back if an 'EJBException' is thrown by the container. Now the doubt is that this does not happen with the OracleDS. So I thought that I should use the class=com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerXADataSource in the xml file and in the client code use DataSource ds = (DataSource)ic.lookup(jdbc/xa/OracleXADS); The problem is that the server does not start saying that it needs the source-location. can anyone help me out on this? Thanks i would also like to know how to say 'transaction' required for one of the function of my EJB in orion. I could do this in the J2EE RI using the deploytool, but I am totally lost here.

Very Strange loadbalancing problem with applet jar files

Now, everythings working fine, I can call my EJB ok, I can call my pages ok, and i can call applets ok except for the following condition : that in IE 4/5 the applet jar files are no larger than 50kb ?!?! Ive tested in Netscape 4.5 ok. Its just with IE 4/5 if the applet jar file is large than 50kb, IE just displays 'Opening ...*.jar', and sits there and puts my processor through the roof!! Doesnt matter whats in the jar file, its related to the size of it. Any ideas anyone... Cheers Darren
