Update of FreeBSD port java/orion
Hi all, To all FreeBSD users: The java/orion port has been updated. It now correctly installs a `orionctl' script and a link to this script from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/orion.sh, so that Orion is started at boot time. Any comments and suggestions, or even improvements are welcome. To install the port, make sure your ports collection is up to date (typically maintained using cvsup). The version of the package should be 1.4.5_2. Then do the following as root: # cd /usr/ports/java/orion # make install Sincerely, Ernst -- Ernst de Haan Java Architect Jollem Information Technology Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest -- Jesus Christ
Re: Orion Tutorial, Parts 1 and 2
Although I've written my own Orion tutorials for starters, I heartily welcome your contributions! If you like I can give you my XML tutorial format plus an XSLT stylesheet that will convert it to a format similar to the Orion Primer: * http://jollem.com/orion-primer/ Ofcourse I'd welcome new stylesheets as well, I already `uniquely' identified my stylesheet as `Classic' ;) I'd also be happy to host your tutorials at http://jollem.com/. In that case you can have a shell account and CVS access (to the other Orion tutorials too). If you want www.orionsupport.com to host your tutorials, they probably have their own XML format for documents posted there. Thanks again for your contribution! -- Ernst James Halloran wrote: Hello Orion community, I cleaned up the tutorial I posted here a few days ago, and I added a Part 2 that explains connecting to Oracle. The only tools you need to use are javac, jar, and deploytool. You won't need to write any XML files either, aside from adding lines the Orion config files. I hope these guides will be useful for newcomers to Orion, or even J2EE. http://www.4degreez.com/intro_part_1.html http://www.4degreez.com/intro_part_2.html I think everything will work properly, but it's possible that there is a mistake or two in there so let me know if you find any.

Re: orion.jar needed for JNDI-lookup??
Hi Stefan, we are running a Swing-application accessing via HTTP/RMI to an EJB-server. To do the JNDI-lookup class "com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory" is used as describes in the orion-doc. Do you *need* to downcast to ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory, or can you perhaps use a superclass (InitialContextFactory) ? If so, then you only need the JNDI libraries. -- Ernst
Re: orion.jar needed for JNDI-lookup??
Ok,
there is no superclass since InitialContextFactory is an interface which is
implemented
by ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory directly (so every vendor provides
his
own InitialContextFactoryClass...)
Can you show that part of your code? Perhaps you can do smthng like this:
// Perhaps this one is read from a configuration somehow
String factoryClassName =
"com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory";
InitialContextFactory factory;
try {
Class c = Class.forName(factoryClassName);
} catch (Throwable t) {
System.err.println("Unable to load initial context factory " + factoryClassName
".");
t.printStackTrace();
}
It should work like this: when the class is needed it should be loaded by
the class
loader over the net (this is a basic principle of JNDI: load the "driver"
which is
needed for current application, if not already installed on the client).
Well, perhaps you're referencing the driver from your code, and perhaps you
should try loading the class explicitly with the Class.forName() call?
HTH, just my $ 0.02.
--
Ernst
To be more specific with my error: I get an error from the
java.net.URLClassLoader which
says he(she...?) can't find the specific class (ClassNotFoundException).
Did I miss some setup somewhere ... ?

Re: Good tutorial
Hey, While the Sun tools may be easier to use in the general case of deploying a J2EE application, Ant is a *generic* and extendible build tool, that can be used to perform from the simplest (copy, move, rename, delete files, compile, execute) to the most advanced (deploying complete J2EE applications, performing unit tests, translating source code to formatted HTML, checking Javadoc comments for completeness, etc.) And all of that in a platform-independant manner :) So IMHO comparing deploytool with Ant is a bit odd. -- Ernst Kemp Randy-W18971 wrote: This is a nice tutorial at www.4degreez.com and now that I am used to ant, the sun tools are much easier.

Re: Does OrionServer 1.3.8 work on SCO Unixware?
Hi Ismael, Orion *should* run on any operating system, as long as a working Java 2 implementation is available (J2SE 1.2 or later). Could you try setting JAVA_COMPILER=NONE, make sure that java -version indicates that no JIT is used and then report the exact trace again? Turning off the JIT *may* even solve the problem, but if it won't, then at least it will show more information w.r.t. line numbers. The version number of your JDK indicates you're working with a custom-compiled version of the JDK for your platform. Did you compile it yourself ?

I can't say enough about being able to run our entire application on a single Win98 box! It means that we can setup a demo on a portable PC, and have a marketing person show up at a meeting and run a full demo from that portable.

"Here I'll cover creating a simple app." "Here I'll create a CMP bean and use it." The ATM is good, but it does *everything* - which makes learning individual elements more difficult than it could be if you had, for example, an OR-mapping application or a security model application.

I'm struggling with Orion's security model in an attempt to get my first entity bean working. It seems that no matter what configuration setting I tweak, I cannot successfully call a method on my bean's home interface. I always receive the exception: com.evermind.server.rmi.OrionRemoteException: guest is not allowed to call this EJB method, check your security settings (method-permission in ejb-jar.xml and security-role-mapping in orion-application.xml). The funny thing is that this is just about as vanilla a case as you can imagine. I'm calling the bean from a servlet, and I desire no authentication whatsoever. I want merely to anonymously call a method on the home interface. Here are a couple questions to which the answers might provide me much enlightenment: * Who is this "guest" person? In the default master principals.xml, there is a user called "anonymous" whose description implies that this will be the user automatically assigned to any unauthenticated user. Should that be "guest" so that I can assign a group (and thus a security-role-mapping) to the unauthenticated user? Is the name special, or is there some other flag that I can't see? I've tried adding a user with the name "guest", etc. Nothing I have tried works. * What is the relationship between the master principals.xml in the config directory and the principals.xml in the application deployment directory? I know the deployment orion-application.xml file points to the deployment principals.xml, but does this override or supplement the master config? Does it make sense to change the principals in the orion-application.xml to point to the master config, or is that redundant? * What does the namespace-access block do in the orion-application.xml file? * Do I have the basic concept right? 1) a user derives their name from authentication, or if there is no authentication, they are assigned some name (presumably "guest") by default. 2) the "user" belongs to one or more groups, defined by one (or both?) of the principals.xml files. 3) the groups are mapped to security roles in the deployment orion-application.xml file using security-role-mapping tags. 4) the security roles are mapped to actual bean method permissions in the bean's deployment descriptor. Somewhere this chain is broken for me, and I'm at a loss to figure out where. If it matters, the bean is an EJB 2.0 entity bean. The deployment descriptor defines a security role "users" which has wildcard(*) permission to the bean. The ear file's application.xml also defines this role. The default deployment orion-application.xml has the security-role-mapping of role "users" to group "users". The master principals.xml has both "anonymous" and "guest" as users which belong to the "users" group. Both the atm and news demos work fine. I presume it is because they explicitly authenticate somewhere in code, but I haven't been able to figure out how or why. Help? :-) Thanks, Jeff Schnitzer [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Al all, Al Fogleson wrote: OK weird question here, since I worked this problem and found that orion is placing the binding in the / heirarchy and not the java:comp/env heirarchy, is there any reason for that??? Maybe I am lost but isnt the java:comp/env/ejb heirarchy where they should go? (although I vaguely recall that in 1.1 it is not required to be placed there, it seems like every other app server I have used puts them there. I had to resort to using forte and its JNDI browser to find the hello bean that Ernst has made. once I found that it was a simple matter of changing his "java:comp/ejb/hello" call to a "hello.ejb.Hello" and it was found easily. Thanks for pointing this out. I tried to lookup entries under java:comp/env, but I could not find anything there. Magnus pointed out that there needs to be a reference in the web.xml to the bean used. So I added in the web.xml the following: ejb-ref ejb-ref-nameejb/hello/ejb-ref-name ejb-ref-typeSession/ejb-ref-type homehello.ejb.HelloHome/home remotehello.ejb.Hello/remote /ejb-ref According to section 7.3.1.1 in `Designing Enterprise Application with the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition', that should do the trick. But it doesn't. I think this piece of XML should allow me to do the lookup as `java:comp/env/ejb/hello', can anybody point out where I go wrong? Is there a way to see what Orion thinks of a deployment descriptor? Some secret --verbose option, perhaps? I would like to see what it places in JNDI contexts. Probably something for Magnus or Karl to aqnswer for me. :) maybe i am just totally confused after evaluating so many servers. Thanks again, (P)Al :) Ernst
Re: Orion Primer
Christian, now, to me this discussion looks like there is a real problem. We have a complex product (full J2EE as opposed to JSP/servlet engines you get elsewhere), which is NOT open source sic and therefore comes without sourcecode. The documentation is rudimentary and so is the error logging (I remember getting my Jserv installation up and running mostly by looking at the logs). Yes, well, on one hand I think you have a point. Since Orion is not open-source, logging, documentation and support are very important. But on the other hand Orion is the best implementation of the latest and greatest standards I have seen so far.

Re: Orion Primer
Hi all, Okay, Magnus Stenman helped me out with this problem. The problem was that the servlet was in the wrong directory in the .war file. It was located under the root directory while it should have been under the directory WEB-INF/classes in the .war. So next challenge is getting the servlet to find the EJB Home. I spent quite some time on this. If anyone is feeling enlightened, please look into this and let us know.
