JMS: Id Topic hierarchy supported.
Hi Folks, I would like to know whether Topic hierarchy is supported with Orion JMS because the JMS specification says that supporting this feature is provider-dependant. Im thinking about my event-driven design, and it would be nice if Message-Driven Bean would be able to subscribe to a topic which contain child-topics and receive both events posted to the topic and to its child-topics. Thanks, Yuval.
Re: Migrating From Websphere to Orion
Greetings, Herman I recently parted a rather large application from Weblogic to Orion (not the same thing, I know, but some of the issues will be the same). I have not had a problem with Orion and the EJB 1.x specs. Once I had the application-specific xml descriptors worked out, and some minor EJB issues, I have not had any problems with the EJBs. I will be trying clustering EJB's next starting next week, something that is not particularly well documented at the moment. Something that I have noticed that the bigger Platform Providers are doing that Orion is not is trying to provide all the features for everybody. Orion seems to limit themselves a little bit to what most people need, and then allow for add-ons after. The only issues I ran into where the following; - The Weblogic specific drivers for Oracle did not port (gee whiz, I wonder why!). I had to find and load Oracle's JDBC jar files. - There seems to be an issue with Orion's classloader and library jars in the Ear file (possibly fixed in this last release, I have not had a chance to experiment yet) - Orion is MUCH more strict about imports in JSP's then Weblogic. By default, Weblogic imports just about everything into a JSP for you. With Orion, you need to specify what classes your JSP's are using. (NOTE: Weblogic is actually drifting from the spec in this case, Orion is following it more closely). - Configuring Orion had a sharp learning curve, and at the time not everything was as well documented as it could have been. The last two months Orion has been releasing upgraded documentation, with more to come. -Steve -- Stephen Davidson Java Consultant Delphi Consultants, LLC http://www.delphis.com Phone: 214-696-6224 x208
Unknown command: 7 error when trying to lookup entity bean
Hi, Does anyone know what causes the error Unknown Command: 7? I have deployed some EJBs on an Orion server and they all seem to deploy OK. All my EJBs work with the exception of one. When I try to do a jndi lookup on that particular EJB from a servlet, I get the following error: javax.servlet.ServletException: Could not create PaymentHandler Disconnected: Unknown command: 7 at au.com.dataline6.payment.GenericPaymentServlet.getPaymentHandler(Unknown Source) at au.com.dataline6.payment.ScheduledPaymentServlet.prepareAndDispatchToAcknowledgePayment(Unknown Source) at au.com.dataline6.payment.GenericPaymentServlet.evaluatePaymentChoiceForm(Unknown Source) at au.com.dataline6.payment.ScheduledPaymentServlet.doGet(Unknown Source) at au.com.dataline6.payment.ScheduledPaymentServlet.doPost(Unknown Source) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:165) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:103) at com.caucho.server.http.FilterChainServlet.doFilter(FilterChainServlet.java:82) at au.com.dataline6.login.LoginFilter.doFilter(Unknown Source) at com.caucho.server.http.FilterChainFilter.doFilter(FilterChainFilter.java:87) at com.caucho.server.http.Invocation.service(Invocation.java:277) at com.caucho.server.http.CacheInvocation.service(CacheInvocation.java:129) at com.caucho.server.http.HttpRequest.handleRequest(HttpRequest.java:216) at com.caucho.server.http.HttpRequest.handleConnection(HttpRequest.java:158) at com.caucho.server.TcpConnection.run(TcpConnection.java:140) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) I have created several I am using Orion version 1.5.3.

Re: Migrating From Websphere to Orion
Hi Stephen, Thank you very much for your input. I also have some concerns with IBM DB2 drivers but my small scale prototype seems to be working all right with orion. Thank you once again.

Load balancing sessions w/multiple apps
I'm trying to setup an environment where I have two app servers and a load balancer all serving one application on two unique ports (80 and 81) where I want the session data to be identical between all four instances of the application. * Box 2** Box 3* * 1 - App A / port 80 ** 3 - App A / port 80 * * 2 - App A / port 81 ** 4 - App A / port 81 * | | | | * * Box 1 * * - loadbalancer (port 80) * * - loadbalancer (port 81) * * My config consist of two web-site/ declarations for each app server where the default-web-app is the application to be shared. The attribute shared=true is set on both the port 80 and port 81 web-site configs. The appropriate frontend host/port is also configured for each web-site definition as well as server.xml knows about both web-sites. From here I'm not sure on the accuracy of my approach to clustering the two app servers. In the web-site config for instance 1 and instance 3 (see above for instances) are configured to use cluster-island=1 and instance 2 and instance 4 are configured to use cluster-island=2. The loadbalancer listening to port 80 is configured only to listen to cluster-island 1 where the load balancer for port 81 is using cluster-island 2. All apps are distributable and all orion-web.xml have cluster-config/ set. With this setup when a request comes into port 80 and is assigned to box 2 / instance 1 and sets a session value; then the same client then switches to port 81 and get assigned box 3 / instance 4 the session value is not set. However if the client sets a session value on instance 1 and then goes to instance 2 or instance 3 the session value is accessible. Where did I go wrong? Is there another way to do this, if it's even possible? Thank, - Mike
