Re: JDBC type 4
The JDBC driver you use is dependant on the database you are using. Almost all of the major database vendors have JDBC Type 4 drivers and most are free. Check out http://industry.java.sun.com/products/jdbc/driversfor a list of drivers. I have personally used the JDBC drivers for mySQL and Oracle under Orion and they work just great. - Original Message - From: Amir Peivandi To: Orion-Interest Sent: Friday, September 29, 2000 7:44 AM Subject: JDBC type 4 Hi Is there any tested JDBC type 4 driver for Orion?

ANSWER: Orion as a native user not root
Okay, this keeps coming up, so maybe someone can make it a FAQ and link to the file I am attaching. Orion does have the ability to run as a native user under Unix besides root. There are two things you need to do. You have to get the file attached to this e-mail and read the README to install the native library, and you need to add a property to the Orion startup such as this: java -Dnative.user=username orion.jar The attached file comes with source so you can compile it on your platform if a binary isn't included. I cannot remember where I got this file, but it was linked from www.orionsupport.com a while back. I think it came from www.orionserver.com somewhere. If someone knows, please post a link. The authors appear to be Elias Mertensson and Rocky Burt. -- Jason von Nieda 3Buddies.com native_user_support.tar.gz
Re: Orion on Linux NOT as root
You can run Orion as a native user using some native code that is available somewher.e Unfortunatly, information on how this was done used to be on www.orionsupport.com which appears to be down.

Problem with PostFileInputStream
I am trying to read a HTTP uploaded file using FilePostParser and
PostFileInputStream.
I can read the file byte by byte, but if I try to read it in chunks I get an
AIOB exception. Here's my code with a comment on the line that blows up.
More commentary below.
-
Hashtable params = new Hashtable();
Enumeration enumeration = new FilePostParser(req.getInputStream(),
req.getContentLength());
while(enumeration.hasMoreElements()) {
Object element = enumeration.nextElement();
if(element instanceof Map.Entry) {
Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry) element;
params.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}
else if(element instanceof InputStream) {
PostFileInputStream in = (PostFileInputStream) element;
int len;
byte[] b = new byte[1024];
// PROBLEM: read throws an exception
while ((len = in.read(b)) != -1) {
out.write(b, 0, len);
}
out.close();
}
}
---
Now, according to the api docs, a InputStream.read(byte[]) should read in as
many bytes
as available and return the number of bytes read, or -1 if the stream is at
the end.
This is espescially confusing because if I read the file byte by byte, such
as:
while ((len = in.read()) != -1) {
out.write(len);
}
It works just fine. Here is the exception I am getting.

Clustering problems.
Hi all. I am having some trouble getting clustering working on a fairly simple setup. I am hoping someone can give me some hints as to what I am doing wrong. I have two machines each running Orion 1.2.9 with JDK 1.3.0RC on Solaris. One is Intel and the other is Sparc. Both of these machines have two ethernet interfaces, one for the public Internet and one for the private network (which is simply the two machines connected to a hub). My first question is; will Orion tell me when a machine joins the cluster? Is there any kind of notification at all? Secondly; If the above is the case, then I must be configuring something wrong. I have tried adding cluster id="1" / to server.xml (and id="2" on the second machine), I have tried adding cluster username="cluster" password="cluster" / to rmi.xml (both with and without id) and I have tried adding cluster-config / to one of my orion-web.xml files. No matter what I do, I never get any indication that any clustering is happening. Which of the above is neccessary, and which is redundant (if any)? Also, do I really need to add cluster-config / to my orion-web.xml files? Isn't there a place I can say "make all apps clusterable by default"? I currently have about 20 apps installed and this makes it kinda annoying :) Anyway, thanks for the help. I have been beating my head against this for a few days.

Vendor specific data sources?
Hi everyone. I am starting to move my legacyish apps over to the data-source.xml method way of getting connections and have a few questions. Before now, I had been using a ConnectionPool of my own design but it appears that I should be leaving this up to the application server now. I created a data source in data-sources.xml and it works great, but I have a question about vendor specific sources. The example data source in data-sources.xml shows the following: -- class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource" name="Hypersonic" location="jdbc/HypersonicCoreDS" xa-location="jdbc/xa/HypersonicXADS" ejb-location="jdbc/HypersonicDS" connection-driver="org.hsql.jdbcDriver" username="sa" password="" url="jdbc:HypersonicSQL:./database/defaultdb" inactivity-timeout="30" -- But in browsing around the new Oracle drivers, I have noticed a class called OracleConnectionPoolDataSource (and also OracleDataSource). I have substituted this class for the Orion DriverManagerDataSource and it works fine. My question is, should I use the vendor supplied data source class or should I use Orion's? Also, if I use the vendor supplied source, should I bother with xa-location, ejb-location and pooled-location or should I just use location? Thanks in advance! -- Jason von Nieda 3Buddies.com

Now I want to migrate over to JSP and the J2EE way of doing things but at the same time I don't want to abandon what we have labored over. As I had asked before, I wanted to know if I could use PHP from the Orion server. That would allow me to host my php stuff keep my clients happy and migrate stuff over to JSP and others, all with one server app. Well the response is yes I can do it ( one reply saying I'm stupid for asking, though he did say he was disturbed so I'll ignore it.;-) ).

You can use PHP with Orion simply by putting your PHP files in your Orion web directories.
