Re: orion 1.3.8 on linux - spawning multiple java processes
The threading model on linux is such that each new java thread spawns a new process. This is normal behaviour with Java on linux; it's not an Orion thing. There is no memory leak in Orion or Java. If there is memory being consumed, I would start looking to be sure you're freeing up resources in your code (i.e., closing JDBC connections, etc.). If you're running orion as a daemon on an ISP's unix machine, then I wouldn't be surprised if they kill it just as part of policy, unless they specifically permit user-run daemons. cheers, Chris korosh wrote: Why does orion 1.3.8 runnin off of linux spawning bunch of Java processes where as on Solaris there is only one Java Process? Also, it seems that the java process eventually consume so much memory that my ISP shuts down the process. Is there a memory leak with Orion 1.3.8 running on Linux with sun jdk 1.3.0 ???

Re: Fw: Virus alert
STOP THIS PLEASE. Before you go spamming people (especially mailing lists!) with bogus virus alerts, do some research, ok? Microsoft and Intel do NOT make virus announcements. If you can't provide a link to an authoritative source for the virus information, then DO NOT SEND IT. You need to think before you act so hastily. They take more time and cost more money than most real viruses do. cheers, Chris - Original Message - From: Sarathy Mattaparti [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Orion-Interest [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 4:29 AM Subject: Re: Fw: Virus alert thanks From: srinivas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Orion-Interest [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Orion-Interest [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fw: Virus alert Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2001 14:57:08 +0800 MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: from [195.58.126.196] by hotmail.com (3.2) with ESMTP id MHotMailBD57333A009E4136E812C33A7EC40B370; Thu, 30 Aug 2001 00:16:27 -0700 Received: from druid.evermind.net (IDENT:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [195.58.126.196])by druid.evermind.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id JAA15005;Thu, 30 Aug 2001 09:05:25 -0100 Received: from mailsvr.kubsistem.com ([202.190.118.177])by paladin.evermind.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA17673for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Thu, 30 Aug 2001 09:49:41 -0400 Received: from SRINIVAS ([192.168.10.95]) by mailsvr.kubsistem.com with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 5.5.2653.13)id QD1AJC9V; Thu, 30 Aug 2001 14:58:22 +0800 From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu, 30 Aug 2001 00:17:37 -0700 Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Orion ListServer Disposition-Notification-To: srinivas [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4133.2400 Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CH.Srinivas Babu Java Application Developer Mobile : 0060163698056 - Original Message - From: Farid [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 2:51 PM Subject: Virus alert Pls take note Subject: WORST EVER VIRUS (CNN announced) WORST EVER VIRUS (CNN announced) PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!!

RE: Charting/Graphing libraries
I've had to provide charting ability via servlets. The problem I keep bumping into is that image generation runs in the Event Handler thread, of which there can be only one per VM. I never figured out a way around that bottleneck, and would be thrilled to get some ideas for a solution. Right now, we're using Sitraka (formerly KLGroup) JCharts in servlets. Of all the choices I've seen (excluding some listed in this thread that I haven't evaluated) Sitraka seemed to be the best option, especially considering that something like $7k gets you the source code too. -Chris -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kemp Randy-W18971 Sent: Wednesday, 25 April, 2001 10:27 To: Orion-Interest Subject: RE: Charting/Graphing libraries I am working with a free package now at www.ve.com/kavachart.

Interestingly it comes back with www.hypersonicsql.com in the error page, but that site doesn't seem to exist in any form... What gives? Is anyone on this list anything to do with Hypersonic and knows what's happening with the site (it's been this way for a few days, and I've just double-checked that it's not our web proxy) Failing any kind of online help, are there docs buried within the Orion document tree for Hypersonic? I couldn't see anything at all. What I'm actually after is some kind of command-line SQL client - does Hypersonic have one? I know it's got that applet for administration (does that even come as part of the Orion install?) but I don't want to fire up a browser or mess around with appletviewer unless I have to. I do have a homebrew client but it was written against Oracle so I don't know (yet) what'll be involved in getting it to work with Hypersonic... thanks Jules

RE: API to discover server state

Is there any API that facilitates this? e.g. List all EJB's, and how many of each are active List all HTTP sessions. Memory usage in different parts of the server/EJB's. I know that the Orion console is able to connect and discover a lot of this information, but I need an API so that this info could be accessed via a remote health process. Any kind of API would be a start - then I can maybe write an EJB, or RMI server, or something to make it available remotely. This is fairly urgent - if anyone can shed any light on it I'd be most grateful.
