Equivalent to Apache's mod_usertrack?
Title: Equivalent to Apache's mod_usertrack? Hi all, I wanted to know if there is an equivalent to Apache's mod_usertrack for J2EE/Orion? I would hate to have to put Apache in front of Orion just for this but we are having issues trying to reflect a unique visitor in the weblogs. http://www.webtrends.com/support/Solution.asp?id=5689050555 thanx, Larry

RE: remote deployment, how?
Title: RE: remote deployment, how? I am testing a setup where NT boxes have FTP servers running on them and I will use sitecopy (available for NT and Unix) to mirror the files up to the servers. This should trigger timestamp changes and have Orion do its magic. -Larry -Original Message- From: Koster, K.J. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 11:31 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: RE: remote deployment, how? Dear Daniele, Thers is no need to use the Orion's -admin option to deploy an application. I usually rely on the auto-deploy feature of Orion which trigger timestamp changes on the .ear file. A remote deployment is easy if you use the rsync utility (http://rsync.samba.org) that provides fast incremental file transfer over the network. Rsync mangle the file name until the trasfer is complete so there is non need to perform an additional rename of the file or a restart of the server. I like the idea of using rsync. So obvious that I missed it completely. Unfortunately I'm dealing with some non-UNIX development boxes, and rsync does not seem to be available for those.

List, We have an organic community here, but the list has been our only output. The support from the company is lacking. Orionsupport seems to have been a good outlet for some, but appears to be down for a spell. Many here have used the other commercial packages (I have used weblogic and iplanet), but had to suffer through their seminars which are just over-blown sales meetings. If you are a small company, these are just not the products for you. It would be nice if we could post success stories and hints directly on the OrionServer web site. If they want to commercialize the product, and don't have the bucks or people to provide support...let *us* provide this service through a community process. About 18 months ago I started using the netbeans ide. At the time, its was the only jave 2 ide out there. The netbeans news server was well maintained by a support engineer for netbeans. Later they sold out to Sun, and a lot of that organic feeling went away. But the attention that one guy gave to the news service was great, and made using the product a good experience. If we could move the energy prevalent on the orion-interest news service into a community web page, maybe this could help all of us out? We could award *points* to the best answers to questions. We could have an ignore button. And yes, we could have a *paid* consultancy service for email questions, phone coaching, and even site visits. Many of the users of orion are independent consultants, so it is not out of the question that a community web service for orion wouldn't fill the gap for orion support. I think one thing missing from the OrionSupport web site was this last bitsome paid service for support. Its also missing from the Ironflare. If you notice, you can buy the product...but even if you wanted to pay for extra support, they don't sell it. If you are reading this at Orion, please consider the McDonald's model. They had a good idea for a hamburger, but how do you put a restaurant on every corner? You franchise the hamburger restaurant idea. Why does'nt Ironflare franchise the support for Orion? This way they could continue to write great software, but others would pay them to give great support service for Orion. I have been trying to call these guys for a month now, with no success.

RE: Alternative Deployment
Title: RE: Alternative Deployment You could also approach this problem by building the entire environment so that you can tolerate failure of the application server and can replace it partially or entirely with another product. Hardware or Software load balancing solutions and a redundant modular design go a long way in keeping you from being married to a particular product or solution. Larry -Original Message- From: calvin matthews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 12:24 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Alternative Deployment Hi, I have been monitoring the orion news group for some 5 months now and I have never seen the contributers so dejected and negative about its creators as they have of late. Don't get me wrong, I think that Orion is a fantastic application server, but the creators have seemingly fallen of the planet, the 'new' company has never appeared and confidence in their ability to support the product seems to be at an all time low. As a developer I am inclined to stick with orion for development because it's quick and easy to use. But for deployment our site needs to be up 24x7 and orion with its many support issues is starting to look like a huge risk. My questions are: a] What are people using for deployment on high profile sites (as an alternative to orion - if at all)? b] What do people consider to be the best alternative/backup application server to orion (Considering we need J2EE compliance (jsp and ejb), we have a tight budget and support is essential)? Currently our live site is operating on a more expensive application server, but Ideally we would like to move away to something as good as and as good value as Orion. Thanks in advance, Calvin

Running two instances of Orion on the same IP and port
Title: Running two instances of Orion on the same IP and port Orioners, Has anyone ever tried to run two instances of Orion on the same machine, IP and port. What I am trying to do is have a second instance of Orion listen to only certain virtual hosts (headers) and the first pick up any unknown or blank headers. The reason for us doing it this way is to have a test installation of Orion that will be restarted often and a second 'stable 'installation that will run some ancillary sites for our internal network.

RE: Running two instances of Orion on the same IP and port
Title: RE: Running two instances of Orion on the same IP and port You guys are right. I see now the error of my ways. I was forgetting the fundamental difference that the second Orion process runs as a second VM. I was trying to recreate a setup I had often done with other webservers but with them I always used the same 'process' with different virtual hosts. Many of them never required restarting because they were just webservers and not application servers as Orion is. With our development Orion setup we often make changes that require a restart and I was trying to avoid the restart of one Orion from affecting all the sites being served by that box. The only reason I was trying to use the same IP and port was because I did not understand why it should not work. Now I do. thanx, Larry -Original Message- From: Scott Stirling To: Orion-Interest Sent: 11/28/2000 8:28 PM Subject: RE: Running two instances of Orion on the same IP and port This has nothing to do with Orion per se. It's a fact of life that only one process at a time can bind to a port on a host. For example, say you had Orion bound to port 25 along with your email server. Who would try to handle SMTP requests to port 25? Orion or the mail server? The answer is whoever bound the port first. And once a process has bound to a critical port (such as a Web server binding to port 80), it usually doesn't let go until the process is stopped.
