Re: Orion and JSP

2002-05-14 Thread Joseph Ottinger

Well, you haven't said what Orion is telling you, but typically the first
thing you do is follow the installation instructions, every step of
them, which includes copying tools.jar to $ORION. That's alkl you have to
do. One wonders why the three steps are as complicated as they are.

 Thanks alot for your help

Re: Cached data in entity beans

2002-04-27 Thread Joseph Ottinger

Set the orion-ejb-jar.xml to not cache the EJB data. You'll destroy
performance this way, but it won't show you cached data.

Re: is Orion dead?

2002-04-12 Thread Joseph Ottinger

...except the wait is due to an internal refactoring that should yield
significant benefits. Yourconclusion was predicted by the list in general,
but I disagree; the team's still working on Orion, and I figure that
people will be more happy once the new versions come out. You'd hope it
would be incremental changes as it was in the past (anyone remember the
three-versions-a-day times?) but that's simply not realistic considering
the changes being put into place. Patience. Enjoy.

 Whats the current state of Ironflare and Orion?
 
 Nothing has changed in the 'stable release' of Orion for almost a year, even
 though there are glaring bugs in http session clustering (not even fixed in
 1.5.4) and some significantly lacking components.   Ironflare was supposed
 to be in the pavillion at JavaONE, but oddly they had no write up
 (apparently they didn't submit one), and didn't actually show up (so their
 booth was empty).  There also seems to be a conspicuous infrequency to their
 responses here.
 
 I know that Oracle 9iAS is evolving and expanding, and I believe that
 IronFlare is doing a significant amount of work on the 9iAS code base (as
 consultants?).  But whats to become of Orion?  It almost appears that Oracel
 has consumed Orion completely and no development will happen on the old
 Orion.

 looks like someone finally figured it out!

 this is what happens when you get one big customer with a guaranteed
 revenue stream, can't much blame them myself.









Re: apache front end

2002-04-10 Thread Joseph Ottinger

Yes, Apache slows Orion down quite a bit. It ends up issuing new requests
to Orion, which is really inefficient. When and if Orion gets a mod_jk
equivalent, that will change... although adding apache in front will
always be a problem.

 second attempt at sending this. sorry if anyone gets it twice.

 I'm curious as to anyone else's experience with putting the apache web
 server as a front end to orion.

 We basically followed the instructions from this guide
 http://www.orionsupport.com/articles/apachefrontend.html

 Although the site does work, the pages that are served from orion seem
 very very slow. Apache serves its html files very quickly. And when I
 access the app server without apache in front, orion runs great.

 The network guys are a bit puzzled and so am I. Is there anything I need
 to do that isn't in that guide (hosts files etc)

 I was just wondering if slow performance is normal when apache is put in
 front.

 I usually build tools to build tools so I mostly can't afford

Spoken (or typed) like a man who's used JBuilder and assumed IDEA's just
like it. IDEA doesn't write code for you unless you tell it to. And when
you tell it to, it writes the code you told it to. It doesn't generate
GUIs that suck. In fact, it doesn't generate GUIs at all. It's an editor.
A java editor. Not a crappy IDE like Netbeans or JBuilder. Not an editor
with Java features, like VSE or Emacs (both of which I've more than a
passing familiarity with.) It's an editor whose designers said, What do
Java people need to do? and the editor enables that. It doesn't require
the developer to do things. It enables the developer, and gets out of the
way.

Sorry for the caustic tone, but it sounds like you're rendering judgement
without a clue, based on price and misconceptions.

 I really do not think that this is an appropriate discussion style for a

 90 points or even more.

Pardon my elitism, but developers with an IQ of 90 aren't going to be very
good developers, and such people *really* want to invest their money in
the best tools possible, in order to eke out every last drop of
performance they can muster. After all, that's below average.

On the other hand, maybe develoeprs with IQ of 90 are part of why our
industry has such a crappy success rate.

 And: there are countries where a developer's salary is about 2-300 USD and
 students have to live on USD 50 monthly.

Note that Intellij has student pricing...

Re: Local interfaces difference ???

2002-03-07 Thread Joseph Ottinger

Because SOMEONE (I'm not going to mention BEA's name) couldn't see their
way around actually optimizing that way. There is an actual performance
benefit, I suppose, in that local interfaces and home objects don't throw
RemoteException, but personally, I think this is a sign that Sun was
serious when they put the black hole in .com.

 Visibroker for Java automatically detected if the client was local and then

 I would have thought that the whole concept of Local references was just an
 optimisation that a vendor provided based on common sense.

 Why is it in the spec?
