Re: Variable for defining finder query?
public static final String findByOwner_query="full: select "+ "Page.key, Page.document, Page.title, Page.description, Page.author, "+ "Page.stylesheet, Page.hits, Page.url, Page.content from Page "+ "where Page_Children.document=$1 and Page_Children.key=$2 "+ "order by Page.hits desc, Page.title desc"; This variable is supposed to be in the bean implementation class. It's supposed to be in the Home interface (the natural location, since CMP EJB's have no finder method implementations in the actual bean implementation). Thanks, now I got it working. No more orion-ejb-jar.xml! But I don't really find the Home to be a natural location, since it means you have to expose that variable with nasty internal workings to all the Home users. Ah well... :) /Anders A n d e r s B e n g t s s o n[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lecando.com
Variable for defining finder query?
Hello, I just found an example on orionsupport.com about an alternative to orion-ejb-jar.xml for specifying finder queries: public static final String findByOwner_query="full: select "+ "Page.key, Page.document, Page.title, Page.description, Page.author, "+ "Page.stylesheet, Page.hits, Page.url, Page.content from Page "+ "where Page_Children.document=$1 and Page_Children.key=$2 "+ "order by Page.hits desc, Page.title desc"; This variable is supposed to be in the bean implementation class. My question: Is this in any way documented anywhere, and is there anyone who has actually tried it? I haven't mananged to make it work anyway... /Anders A n d e r s B e n g t s s o n[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lecando.com
Default isolation level
Hello, does anyone know what the default isolation level for entity beans is? In orion-ejb.jar.xml there is an attribute "isolation". According to the documentation: "The valid values are 'serializable', 'uncommitted', 'committed', 'repeatable_read'." But it doesn't mention what the default value is. Also, is there some way to set the isolation level for an entire EJB application? /Anders A n d e r s B e n g t s s o n[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lecando.com

Minimum orion-ejb-jar.xml?
Hello, does anyone know what fields in orion-ejb-jar.xml have to be defined for it to work? It seems to be a strange mix of user- and Orion-controlled fields, with no documentation about which fields that are needed. The attribute "wrapper" is of course filled out by Orion, but what about the rest? When my file consists of only orion-ejb-jar/orion-ejb-jar things work fine. But using empty "entity-deployment"-tags, with only attributes defined, Orion gives the strange error: java.lang.NullPointerException: length was zero at com.evermind.xml.XMLConfig.ax(JAX) at com.evermind.server.ServerComponent.aiu(JAX) at com.evermind.server.ServerComponent.initDeployment(JAX) at com.evermind.server.ejb.EJBPackageDeployment.aa2(JAX) at com.evermind.server.ejb.EJBContainer.b0(JAX) at com.evermind.server.Application.b0(JAX) at com.evermind.server.Application.f8(JAX) at com.evermind.server.ApplicationServer.o2(JAX) at com.evermind.server.ApplicationServer.alv(JAX) at com.evermind.server.ApplicationServer.f8(JAX) at com.evermind.server.gi.run(JAX) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) at com.evermind.util.f.run(JAX) Maybe this Orion trying to tell me that I need some more tag defined?.. /Anders A n d e r s B e n g t s s o n[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lecando.com
Re: Different data-sources for different applications?
Rick Bos wrote: You can modify this in orion-ejb-jar.xml. This file is found in orion/application-deployments/your-app/ejb You can copy this file to /ear/ejb/orion/orion-ejb-jar.xml and modify it there. ( where ear is your development directory and ejb is your Enterprise Java Bean directory). Hope this helps. Thanks, that will solve most of my problems! The remaining problem is that this would require a different .ear file for each deployment. I'm trying to deploy the same application many times on the same Orion, with different databases, to separate our different customers. Ideally it would be possible to change the data-source in some deployment config outside of the .ear. But I guess I can simply solve this by writing some small script to modify the .ear for each deployment. /Anders The basic problem seems to be that data-sources.xml is a global configuration, for all the applications in the server. Is there some way to come around this problem, like some way to select the datasource for each application? A n d e r s B e n g t s s o n[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lecando.com
Re: Faster deployment?
It spends a few seconds with "auto-unpacking" and "auto-deploying" ... of course most of the time is spent doing table creations in the in-memory HypersonicSQL database we're using for the tests. Now that I think of it, there must be some way to pre-create those tables even for a in-memory database. I'll try that approach... Thank you for the great question! :-) /Anders Mike Clark wrote: What specifically is creating a drag on your deployment time? I use a Makefile which creates the .ear file, and once the .ear file is "touched", the server re-deploys the application at blazing speed.

Re: SV: Faster deployment?
We're running all our tests every time we test, so it's hard to separate things. But I guess that a smart makefile system could automatically deploy only the changed parts of course... I'll try that solution when we reach a larger number of deployed beans. Faster database than an in-memory database? I'll have to get a machine with a faster memory bus! :) /Anders [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well we have a project running tremendous amounts of EJBs, but what takes time is the Entitybean deployment. We get up to 15 minutes deployment time on a P600III on the full deployment. So what we did to speed up deployment was: Divide your application into specialized areas and make ejb-applications of them so you can redeploy one area at a time... Then you will only get that huge deploy everytime you do a full code refresh. :).. The other thing is to get a faster database :) Hope this helps . Klaus Myrseth.

After some thorough swearing we found that JIKES dont support unicode yet, so if there is possibilities that you have special chars somewhere dont use it.. :) Other than that its a super fast compiler :) Actually, the latest Jikes (1.12) has support for different charsets with the "-encoding" parameter. Unfortunately it seems that it's not possible to supply that parameter when configuring Orion to use it, so for JSPs and EJBs that still doesn't work. /Anders A n d e r s B e n g t s s o n [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.natakademin.se/
principals.xml in ear file?
Hello, When I deploy my application, packaged in a .ear file, Orion seems to "forget" copying the principals.xml file into the application-deployments directory. Orion starts with this error: Error instantiating application at file:/usr/local/orion/applications/lektor.ear: Couldnt read principals config file: file:/usr/local/orion/application-deployments/lektor/principals.xml for lektor (/usr/local/orion/application-deployments/lektor/principals.xml (No such file or directory)) When i copy the principals.xml by hand to its place in application-deployments everything works fine. It is the same problem both if I have principals path="./principals.xml" / defined in orion-application.xml or if I don't have it defined. Does anyone else have this problem? /Anders A n d e r s B e n g t s s o n [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.natakademin.se/
Generating primary keys in CMP?
Hello, I'm looking for a way to generate primary keys for my container managed entity beans. For bean managed persistance you would simply use the functions that your DBMS provides, like sequences or auto-increased columns. But how do I do this with CMP beans? In books and example code everyone avoids the subject entirely, with create(int id) as the creation method. A solution I've seen suggested is to use a separate session bean to generate unique integers, but they are generally a mess to implement and use. So what I'm looking for is something better than that. The J2EE servers based on object databases (GemStone/J at least) has an id generator "for free". But it seems this shouldn't be impossible with relational DBMSes. I would guess that it could be done by the CMP container, possibly by using DBMS-dependent plugins for different id generator implementations? Anyway, if this isn't possible I'm looking for a good implementation of a session bean based id generator... /Anders A n d e r s B e n g t s s o n [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.natakademin.se/
Wrong content-type for JSP
Hello, I have found some sort of bug with the content-type of JSPs in Orion 0.9.1b. When I reloaded a JSP-generated page a few times in Netscape I was suddenly prompted with a "save file" dialog. I checked with telnet to port 80 on the server machine, and it turned out that Orion _sometimes_ sends "application/jsp" instead of "text/html" as the content-type for JSP pages. In the file config/mime.types the line - application/jsp jsp - appears. I guess this is somehow related to the problem... /Anders A n d e r s B e n g t s s o n [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.natakademin.se/
