Yahoo Orion List
Hello, I fully support starting another Orion list to replace this one, but could the person who started it please send a message to this group on the details of signing up for it? I would also suggest crafting a message that can be sent to this group occasionally to explain the purpose of the new list, who its moderator is, etc. Also, we should notify Orion(Ironflare) and see if they can put a link to the new list on their site. It is very possible that they would have no problem with this, since they obviously took no real interest in this list anyway. If they do agree, it would probably take them 3 months to post it on their site, but its worth a try :) Bill
Re: Yahoo Orion List
Hi - nevermind. by the time this came through list, my question had already been answered. Which i guess is one of the reasons we needed a new list :) Bill Bill Clinton wrote: Hello, I fully support starting another Orion list to replace this one, but could the person who started it please send a message to this group on the details of signing up for it?

Re: I think, I will start a support site too....
Another good point on this lousy list. I am unable to comprehend how a mailing list like this could be so bad. Could whoever is responsible for this list please answer one of these threads and explain yourself? This list could be hosted on a free listserver like Yahoo lists with much better results. Is there anyone out there on the list that would be able to host it? We could then just start our own list with a competent administrator and let this one die. I would like to hear more opinions on this so when you get this message in 4 or 5 hours or so, please reply. I am looking forward to your responses, which I should get sometime tomorrow around 12:00 est.

How many support sites do we actually have now? Why is it such a problem to keep the mailing list up and running? Now, we need to post the message to at least 3 places to make sure it gets maximum exposure. I think I will start a support site, that posts to all other support sites, just so that people don't have to search various support sites for help. I don't mind so many support sites starting up, I just think they are starting up for poor reasons and fragmenting what little knowledge we already have about this product. What is the problem with the list? Why is it down half the time? I hope it's not running under Orion... -AP_
Re: I think, I will start a support site too....
Um.. are you serious with this example? I am sure I can find an example of a website running on IIS where some pre-teenage girl posts pictures of her pet cat - that doesn't mean I can use it for a high-availablilty load-balanced application. I reread your post searching for where I missed the joke, but I think you are serious. So, I will agree with you: the quality of the orion mailing list is appropriate for a product meant to host collections of personal under construction pages. Bill Michael J. Cannon wrote: snip and if Orion is good enough for you to run a web site - (and it is: http:/www.standardset.com/ ) well, it should be good enough for Orion, especially since they developed it and this is one of the 'load and valence test platforms (if it does indeed run on Orion) for the product. snip
Re: Ant to compile and deploy one file
Hi Joseph, This is really a question for the ant-user group, but ant should not recompile all files everytime. This usually happens when your source directory structure does not match your package name structure. For example if in your source directory you have: com/mycompany/test/mytest.java and your packagename is actually: com.mycompany.newtest ant will recompile everytime. Bill Nusairat, Joseph F. wrote: Hey if i have one file to update is there an easier way to compile it and re jar it??? I am using ant ... and if i have one i can only seem to recompile them alll which takes some time.

User Manager and question about deploying an application and applications-deployment directory
Hello, I am trying to get security working as per the instructions on OrionSupport.com (http://www.orionsupport.com/articles/usermanager.html) and I am having some troubles. Following these procedures is creating some questions about application deployment and the applications-deployment directory. I would first like to ask if the applications-deployments directory is specific to orion. I think it is because I have not seen it in any other app servers. Could someone give me a link that describes its purpose and configuration because I cannot find this anywhere. I have followed step 1 and created a custom user manager that extends com.orionsupport.security.SimpleUserManager. I would like to try to follow step 2, where I add a reference to my user manager in orion-application.xml in your orion/application-deployments directory for your application, but I can't find this file. Am I supposed to create it? Was it supposed to be created for me? Again, if anyone knows of any links to this information, I would appreciate it. Bill
Re: What happened to this mailing list???
Actually, was down for a few more than a few days. For most other products, this would be no big deal. But considering that this list is just about the only support available for orion, I think that keeping the list up should be somewhat of a priority. But since the list is being discussed, I would like to ask a question. Does anyone have any idea why messages sent to this list take so long to be distributed? It seems to be an average 3 hour or so delay on my end. I do not have this problem with the struts, resin, tomcat, or ant lists. It's not very efficient: often a question will be answered several times because responders are unaware that the question has been answered 2 hours previously.. And if you are looking for some advice or help, you better ask before 2pm or nobody (in your time zone at least) will see the message until the next morning.

Re: Datasource Question - is there a way to setup a JDBC log file?
Hello,
I tried to set this up, and the log file is created, but nothing
is ever written to it. My servlet, which gets loaded at startup, looks
like this:
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
public class LoaderServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void init() {
System.out.println(new java.util.Date() + : +
this.getClass().getName() +
: setting Datasource log);
try {
DataSource dataSource = (DataSource) new
InitialContext().lookup(jdbc/oracle);
dataSource.setLogWriter(new PrintWriter(new
FileOutputStream(log/jdbc.log,true)));
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(new java.util.Date() + : +
this.getClass().getName() +
: unable to create Datasource log: + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
The message gets printed to the log at startup, telling me that init()
method is getting called, and that no exceptions are being thrown. The
file is created, but nothing ever gets printed to it. I have looked at
the Datasource class, and I don't see any methods to turn logging on.
Any idea why nothing ever gets printed to the log?

Attila Bodis wrote:
Bill,
I do just that, i.e. open the log file for writing in the init() method of a
dumb servlet that gets preloaded at startup. I pick up the path/filename of
the log file from a context-param which I set in web.xml (and override in
orion-web.xml if necessary).
A better way to do all this would be to use log4j, but I haven't had a
chance to look into it in any depth.
Hope this helps,
Attila

Attila,
Thanks alot. I believe this is what I need, but I am going to
trouble you with one more question: Where would you recommend doing
this in a web application? I was hoping that there would be somewhere
to set a log file in the definition of the datasource. I assume I only
need to set the logWriter once, so could I do it in the init method of a
dumb servlet that gets preloaded? Or is there a better time and place to
set the logWriter?
Thanks again for your response
Bill

// Use JNDI lookup to locate the data source:
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(System.getProperties());
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup(dsName);
// Have the connection pool log to the specified log file:

Where dsName is the name of your datasource (as specified in
data-sources.xml) and myPrintWriter is a java.io.PrintWriter object
which
writes to the log file of your choice.
Hope this helps,
