Re: how to shutdown orion app server?
Hi Liu,
Did you run
orion -install
when you installed orion (or changed admin password in principals.xml)?
This username/password should correspond with the username/password from
the jndi.properties file of the client application

global servlet initialization parameters?
is there any way to specify inititialization parameters in orion so that 2-3 different related web applications can all access them with ServletConfig.getInitParameter() or ServletContext.getInitParamter()? tomcat appears to allow this through the use of a default context, but i can't make orion do it. or is it just a bad, non-portable idea in the first place? -mw

MQSeries MDB Sample
I wanted to write an MVS Batch COBOL program that updates an MVS (OS/390) MQSeries queue and have it trigger a MDB on an Orion server. To do this, my MVS MQSeries has a remote queue definition pointing to an NT Server running MQSeries and Orion 1.5.2. Next I followed the Resource Providers documentation on www.orionserver.com and used the ContextScanningResourceProvider without any changes to be my MQSeries resource provider. I compiled this class and created a jar file, which I added to Orion/Lib, along with the various IBM MQSeries jars and the Sun JNDI File System provider jars. I then made the necessary Orion xml file updates and to my amazement it works. I can update an MVS MQSeries queue and have it trigger a Orion MDB on an NT server. The zip file contains all source code. <> Below is the sample output from the Orion DOS prompt. I tried writting to the MDB queue via a jsp => servlet => SLSB and from an MVS Batch COBOL program.

JNDI problems
Dear all,
I have just tried deploying a new application-client inside an ear. The
app-client has one env-entry inside application-client.xml, like so:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/application-client_1_2.dtd";>
portNumber
java.lang.Integer
2020
The application is included in the ear as a module like so:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/application_1_2.dtd";>
games
games-ejb.jar
appclients.jar
and I have added to
orion-application.xml.
The manifest in the client jar specifies the Main-Class.
I also have jndi.properties in the application client jar with this in it:
java.naming.factory.initial=com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialCont
extFactory
java.naming.provider.url=ormi://localhost/games
java.naming.security.principal=admin
java.naming.security.credentials=123abc
All this works and I see the following message in the console:
Auto-starting appclients.jar...
Listening on
ServerSocket[addr=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0,port=0,localport=2020]
The problem is that when I try and retrieve the env-entry from the
initialcontext
like so
InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext();
Integer portNumber = (Integer)
jndiContext.lookup("java:comp/env/portNumber");
I get the following message:

xerces conflict (and a hack solution).
:Hello all, In our web application we use an old version of xerces. We deploy the application with xerces.jar in the WEB-INF/lib directory. However, when the application is started we get the error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser at org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(XMLReaderFactory.java:118) at com.fredhopper.frob.question.QuestionManager.loadQuestions(QuestionManager.java:163) at com.fredhopper.frob.question.QuestionManager.loadQuestions(QuestionManager.java:78) at com.fredhopper.frob.FredEngine.init(FredEngine.java:373) at com.fredhopper.frob.FredEngine.startingUp(FredEngine.java:138) at com.fredhopper.jsp.Bridge$EngineInServletContainer.fredhopper(Bridge.java:837) at com.fredhopper.jsp.Bridge$EngineInServletContainer.run(Bridge.java:779) A bit cryptic, because SAXParser is in fact available twice (once in our application and once in the 'global' orion space). A solution is: 1) Move the following jars: crimson.jar jaxp.jar parser.jar xalan.jar 2) Move our own xerces.jar in orion home directory 2) Start orion as follows: java -Xbootclasspath/a:xerces.jar -jar orion.jar This is not a real solution, because we also had to remove the encoding attribute out of the application.xml and web.xml. And this should then be done for every application you deploy on the application server. Shouldn't it be that when the application server looks for a class, it first looks in the classes directory of that web application, then in the lib directory of the web application and if it still can't resolve the class it looks in the global space (not a good idea, since this depends on which application server you use, but trade of to save memory usage)? So is this a bug in orion, or are we doing something wrong here?

Orion hanging during autodeployment of ejb.jar
I'm just trying to deploy the news (news.ear) application on a Solaris box with jdk1.2 've had Orion running without any ejb-applications (ie: just with the default web app) without any problems on the same box. However, when I try and deploy any ears it fails when it gets to the "auto-deploying XXX-ejb.jar (No complete previous deployment found) ..." It never gets past this stage I've tried Orion 1.5.2 and Orion 1.4.7 I've configured Orion to use the Jikes compiler version 1.12 (set in server.xml and I've checked the path and the classpath) - however, what's really weird is if I deliberately put in the wrong path to the Jikes compiler and then do java - jar orion.jar it does not throw an IO error, like it normally does. I've got Orion running on 5 different boxes w'out problems - the only difference is that these other boxes have jdk1.3 with hotspot, but how much difference could that make? (Famous last words :-) ) Any help greatly appreciated Angus F. Mark Technical Architect RTSe UK Ltd

Struts bug in 1.4.8
Hi guys, Struts and orion don't seem to be good friends. After looking in the archive I found some links telling me how to patch struts so it works with orion. The solution I use is simply unpack the jar file in the classes directory (during the build fase). However that doesn't solve the problem you get as soon as you define your own actions and forms. As soon as you want to access one of your actions/forms, you get the following error in your application.log: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.fredhopper.admin.control.web.action.ItemsAction at com.evermind[Orion/1.4.8 (build 10374)]._ed.findClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:297) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:253) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:313) at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:120) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.processActionCreate(ActionServlet.java:1470) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1421) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:463) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:195) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:309) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:336) at com.evermind[Orion/1.4.8 (build 10374)]._iib._vfd(Unknown Source) at com.evermind[Orion/1.4.8 (build 10374)]._iib._qjc(Unknown Source) at com.evermind[Orion/1.4.8 (build 10374)]._kj._qbc(Unknown Source) at com.evermind[Orion/1.4.8 (build 10374)]._kj._oa(Unknown Source) at com.evermind[Orion/1.4.8 (build 10374)]._jw.run(Unknown Source) The classloader can't find any of your defined actions/forms. However Orion/1.3.8 didn't have this problem (and J2EE doesn't have it as well). I created a small test application which can be downloaded from our website: www.fredhopper.com/struts-example.tgz To get it running: 1) unpack it 2) set the J2EE_HOME variable 3) go to the struts-test/src directory 3) run ./build.sh This creates a test.ear which you can deploy on orion. Does anyone have similar problems with struts and does somebody have a solution? If there are any questions regarding the struts-example please don't hesitate to ask.

Updateing to 1.4.8
Hi All, Sorry for this very stupid message: can somebody please tell me where to download the newer releases or aren't they public domain anymore. Was looking at orionserver for an update for some time, but after 1.4.5 I couldn't update anymore. However, after looking at this mailinglist I saw that people were already using 1.4.8. I'm curious for a new version, because struts library didn't work under 1.4.5. Again, sorry to bother you all about this. -- Mark --o-o-- Mark Kettner http://www.fredhopper.com Amsterdam, The Netherlands Phone: +31 20 3206203 Mobile: +31 620 209 817 fax:+31 20 8848747 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Mixing secure & non-secure pages in the same application
That solution doesn't get around having multiple pages secure and some non
secure though. Ibelieve you need to use URL redirection within your servlets
and that should work. It would be good if we could do something similar to
Apache with the .htaccess files as that is how I have worked this solution
(only for static web site though).

Re: Sending a PDF via a servlet to IE 5
At 02:51 PM 2/19/01 -0500, you wrote: Has anyone encountered an issue with sending a PDF back to IE 5? Here's my situation. I generate a PDF dynamically then store it in a database. I then retrieve the PDF from the DB via a servlet that sets the mime-type then outputs to the response stream. This works fine with Netscape and IE 5.5 but with IE 5 it displays an (mostly) empty page with a cube icon on it (looks like an ActiveX icon). When you click on the icon it pops up a dialog saying "Error Locating Object Handler". If I request a static PDF IE 5 display that fine. So I'm assuming I'm not setting something on the response properly. Any one hae any ideas? I don't know if this is exactly your problem, be we have encountered errors in IE's handling of PDF files if the content length in not correctly set in the header. Try something like this: // The technique of writing to a byte array output stream and then setting the content length was // taken from Paulo Soares (see the FAQ for the iText library). If the content length is not set then the PDF // plugin for IE has problems with the file, especially if it is small. // CREATE AND SEND THE DOCUMENT. response.setContentType( "application/pdf" ); ByteArrayOutputStream ba = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); createPdfDocument( ba ); // Stream the PDF file to ba response.setContentLength( ba.size() ); ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream(); ba.writeTo( out ); out.flush(); Good luck! -mark Mark Meuer Software Engineer Life Navigator, Inc.

Orion performance tuning
We are investigating Orionserver to replace Apache Tomcat. We could use any input on performance tuning for servlets. Has anyone seen a matrix or formula for initial values that might help us out? We have approximately 100 internal users that hit the server serving ~90 objects with approximately 100 - 200 database connections open all the time. Our server is a SUN E 10K with 8 GIG of ram. I can offer all of the specs if needed. Your help is greatly appreciated. thanks, Mark
Re: project manager - Orion
I have been using Dynamo Application Server for over 6 months now and it is quite a nice app server for a programmer with not much app server experience. Although it is quite restricted when it comes to development. You have to restart the app server with every change of a class file except jsp of course. Orion on the other hand does not require this which will save development time hugely. Also licensing issues are a pain in the butt. We had problems with development licenses with Dynamo, Orion is absolutely no problem. Orion is an excellent server although does fall down with documentation. This list is one of the best sources of information and most answers can be found here. I have found that with Dynamo some small bugs exist with servlet specifications and work arounds are required. (In other words, don't expect a new release of Dynamo for these bugs as they won't happent). Orion on the other hand will release updates frequently and are usually quite up to date with the latest specs. I have not had much experience with Weblogic. My recommendation would be to look at Orion in more detail and see how well it suits your needs. You will find it initially harder to use but you will understand the application server that much better. > Hi Guys, > > I've been exploring the appservers for some time now > and it is high time we selected the appserver for our > project. > > I'm contemplating the usual big one i.e. weblogic, > dynamo ...and Orion. > > Any pointers to how Orion would and perform in a > production environmnet to further argue and support > the decision making of selecting Orion as main > appserver ? > > All your input are welcome ! > > thanks > > denis > > __ > Do You Yahoo!? > Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

RE: Form Login bouncing me to welcome page!
So, when the user is going to http://host:port/yourapp/Login.jsp they get redirected to LoginForm.jsp. They then authenticate and should see the resource they requested (ie: http://host:port/yourapp/Login.jsp) - is this what you mean by the welcome page ?? Hope that helps Angus
RE: orion-web.xml
orion -web.xml must go in the same place as web.xml - ie: in the web-inf directory As for the classpath - I don't think you need to add the file:/// bit of the path - just use the directory path ie: D:/myprojects/paomgmt/classes"/ and see what it does. Hope that helps
RE: When using autonumber for the primarykey...
I'm using the counter.jar which is fine, but does it have any impact on performance ? Ok, the EJB spec doesn't support id fields, but surely now for every create() I'm actually doing twice the work - ie: creating and loading the counter entity bean and the entity bean using the counter? That can't be right ...

Help needed to access orion-primer example bean from standalone app
Below is a test to access orion-primer example bean from
a standalone client.
I can not get this to work and have looked through the
mail archive and web to find any working examples of
this type of access. The lookup portion fails and I have
tried a number of variations.
Since the orion-primer example is used in the Orion
documentation and does work when I access the bean from
a servlet it seems that this bean is a good candidate
for being accessed from a standalone app (ie, any of the
mechanical issues regarding the bean creation and deployment
are moot) since it works.
I do have the application-client.xml empty for the
fully package qualified name reference attempt:
and here is the application-client.xml used for the
JNDI lookup attempts:
ejb/HelloHome
Session
hello.ejb.HelloHome
hello.ejb.Hello
I also make sure the application-client.xml is in a
META-INF directory under the directory where I am running
the standalone client program from.
I have verified that the host, application, username/password
etc... are correct and do work. I have tried on 1.3.8 and
1.4.5, I am using JDK 1.2.2.
Please augment and/or modify or give hints to get this code to
access the HelloBean. I have spent a good amount of time trying
to make this work and really need some help. Thanks ahead.
PS. let me know what version of Orion you use to get it to
work and where/what the application-client.xml was. Also if
anyone a simple JNDI name dump utility so I can "see" what
Orion has done during its deployment would be a great help.

Principals.xml
Hi there, I'm using orion 1.3.8 (with jdk1.3 on WinNT) and am using a custom orion-application.xml. When I try to deploy the app, I get the following error : "invalid principals config URL: principals.xml for MyApp" Both principals.xml and orion-application.xml are in the ejb/meta-inf directory Somebody mentioned in an old posting that this is a Windows problem and that copying the file manually is the only way to do it - is this a bug, or what?

Re: Orion System Requirements
Hi Unico: Suspect the answer will depend a bit on your server OS, etc. I think many of us would agree that Linux seems to be a bit more resource-friendly than NT, for instance. Kevin Duffey posted the following Orion performance tests to this list on 10/19, perhaps this will help you. You'll note that the box in his tests is a bit larger than yours; in particular it has a lot of RAM. Hope this helps! --Mark Kevin's post of 10/19: Hi all, Well, using a pretty nifty (and very expensive) testing tool, I was able to do some "minor" testing on a login process of our site. Using Orion, Oracle 8i database, and e-load test suite, here are some numbers that I got: 25 users - 15 connections in the pool pages per second - 43 pages per day - 3.75 million transactions per second - 14.5 transactions per day - 1.26 million 25 users - 30 connections in the pool pages per second - 26.4 pages per day - 2.28 million transactions per second - 8.81 transactions per day - 761333 25 users - 5 connections in the pool pages per second - 51.95 pages per day - 4.48 million transactions per second - 17.32 transactions per day - 1.49 million The test is simple. It uses the browser built into the e-test suite software and "automates" the login process of our site. I ran the test on a PIII650, with 512MB RAM. The database is running on a SUN E450 serve with 512MB RAM. The test simply sends a post submitted form with the login name and password to a controller servlet that then hits the database using a connection via the pool, and logs in the user. All logins were valid, I did not test invalid login names/passwords. Just thought I would share these numbers. Next week I will be setting up a two-server farm, using the load-balancer software that Orion includes in their download. Each server will be dual PIII550 with 512MB RAM and SCSI III RAID hd setup (Actually, they are IBM NetFinitiy 4000R units). The load balancer will run on a slow PII300 workstation with 128MB RAM (I hope this is good enough). They will be failed over and load-balanced, and I will test the performance on those and post the results here. The only thing I am not sure of is if different testing software performs about the same..or are there dramatically different results. If anyone wants me to attempt to test their site, I'll give it a go from here..but its over a T1 connection, where as my test is done locally on a LAN, so I am sure the results are more skewed.

Re: writing to application.log from EJB
Thank you Porfiriev.
In my real-world use, though, redirecting sysout and syserr isn't going
to give me the behavior I'm looking for -- not without a lot of
additional work, anyway. What I'm doing is writing a "Logger" EJB which
is the central log manager for a fairly rich, distributed application
environment. The Logger can write to console (sysout, syserr), or to
the application log file, or to a back-end RDBMS, depending on what it's
being asked to log, how it's configured, etc.; and apps anywhere in the
enterprise can use it as a central service. So I need to keep console
output and persistent file output separate from each other. Simplest
way I can think of is to use the same log writer which the
ServletContext uses -- you'd think that would be straightforward.
Haven't succeeded yet though!
Thanks again for the suggestion,
--Mark

adding EJBs to the default app
Folks: I know the veterans of this list must become pretty exasperated, seeing problems posted here which would seem to be pretty simple. Unfortunately I'm very lost in the complexity of J2EE's directory structures and configuration .xmls. Hopefully over time the interaction between the various components will become more intuitive, but, have to say, so far that's not happening.. Many thanks for your help and patience. Here's what I'm failing to achieve this time. I have Orion's default-web-app configured satisfactorily, with multiple JSPs and Servlets interacting correctly. Now I want to add a layer of EJB business objects to this mix. I believe I understand how to create a *new* application including EJBs -- there are several documents available with examples. But, I'm unable to figure out how to add EJBs to the existing, default app. Questions: 1. What is the correct directory structure? The "demo" sample has an "ejb" subdirectory, with a "META-INF" and a further subdirectory for each of the sample EJBs. By analogy, should there be an "ejb" subdirectory below "default-web-app", and so on? 2. What .xmls need to be informed that the new EJBs are now part of the default application? orion/config/application.xml contains the tag which defines defaultWebApp. But it's not happy containing tags, per the sample application.xml files within the "demo" directory. Etc. Clearly, I'm lost. If someone would find me I'll be grateful. --Mark

RE: getServletContext().getRealPath() bug?
Yes we see this too and have since I think 1.3.8.
It compiles but does have a runtime exception, e.g. can't find the method.
So we're doing hacks now using relative paths to figure out where we are.
Basically ever since the experimental 2.3 servlet and jsp stuff it seems to
have disappeared. I didn't know if this was apart of the new spec or not
and they're didn't seem to be a replacement.

Can someone tell me if this is correct behavior or if this is a bug?
In the init method of my servlet, I have the following line of code:

The result I get is this:

Re: HINT: One possible way to cure an "internal error" on deployment
I've done something kind of similar. I found through experimentation that the Orion-generated file "orion-web.xml", which lives in the app-specific subdirectories beneath application-deployments, had gotten stale -- out of sync with my deployment descriptors. When you shutdown Orion and blow away that file, Orion generates a new one with correct values. Similar to your experience, that stopped the 500 Internal Errors. Just noting this so you can experiment with it in future.

"java:comp/env/myDS"; rather, use "jdbc/myDS".
Note I've substituted "OracleEJBDS" per the note from support which Gary
included earlier in the thread.
Finally -- 'cause I'm personally done with this thread for a while, ;-)
-- if any of the Evermind folks are taking note, I'd very much like to
be able to choose to use networked LDAP for objects such as
DataSources. Please consider this an enhancement suggestion.
Thanks Gary, Allen and Deepak!

Thanks Allen.
The answers to your questions are yes, and yes. Earlier messages in

case they're helpful.
You'll note that the data-sources definitions are slightly different
than what you suggest below. Your suggestion is similar to the first
half of Deepak's example, that is, what he considers to be a non-pooled

Re: Data Sources Help
Thanks Gary. Well I gave it a shot. First thing to note is that the instructions you were given by support seem to be self contradictory. While suggesting you should use com.evermind.OrionConnectionDataSource with Oracle, the example uses com.evermind.sql.ConnectionDataSource. So I tried them both, and at least in my environment they blow up with identical errors when the server is started: Result with com.evermind.sql.ConnectionDataSource: java -jar orion.jar java.lang.NullPointerException at com.evermind.server.deployment.EnterpriseArchive.ajv(JAX) at com.evermind.server.deployment.EnterpriseArchive.bx(JAX) at com.evermind.xml.XMLConfig.bs(JAX) at com.evermind.xml.XMLConfig.ay(JAX) at com.evermind.xml.XMLConfig.ay(JAX) at com.evermind.server.ServerComponent.ay(JAX) at com.evermind.server.XMLApplicationServerConfig.ak9(JAX) at com.evermind.server.XMLApplicationServerConfig.by(JAX) at com.evermind.xml.XMLConfig.ay(JAX) at com.evermind.xml.XMLConfig.ay(JAX) at com.evermind.server.hc.run(JAX) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:498) at com.evermind.util.f.run(JAX) Result with com.evermind.OrionConnectionDataSource: java -jar orion.jar java.lang.NullPointerException at com.evermind.server.deployment.EnterpriseArchive.ajv(JAX) at com.evermind.server.deployment.EnterpriseArchive.bx(JAX) at com.evermind.xml.XMLConfig.bs(JAX) at com.evermind.xml.XMLConfig.ay(JAX) at com.evermind.xml.XMLConfig.ay(JAX) at com.evermind.server.ServerComponent.ay(JAX) at com.evermind.server.XMLApplicationServerConfig.ak9(JAX) at com.evermind.server.XMLApplicationServerConfig.by(JAX) at com.evermind.xml.XMLConfig.ay(JAX) at com.evermind.xml.XMLConfig.ay(JAX) at com.evermind.server.hc.run(JAX) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:498) at com.evermind.util.f.run(JAX) So... hmmm...

Re: ANSWER: How to use pooled connections in Orion?
Per the thread below, I realize after a bunch of tinkering that my
underlying assumption of a distributed app architecture is wrong; Orion
is managing DataSources itself, without talking to an external directory
server or other networked resource. Duh.
But, that's not what I want. What I'm after is to retrieve DataSources
from an LDAP server acting as a shared resource on the network. This
can be done manually by binding DataSource objects to LDAP independently
of Orion, then programmatically creating InitialDirContexts with
appropriate connection parameters inside my application code. What
might be better though would be if Orion's JNDI "data store" could be
configured to use networked LDAP instead of it's internal mechanism.
Can it? Can Orion parse a JNDI.xml file or equivalent? I'm not exactly
sure at this hour which approach might be more portable; the manual
version is obviously more work.
--Mark

Thank you Al.
I realize I haven't worded my question correctly, though. Maybe a
better way to say it is, where is Orion's JNDI environment defined?
That is, how does Orion know the location of the LDAP server on the
network, plus the binding (login) credentials required so that the
data-sources.xml example can work its auto-magic?
If I were doing this programmatically I'd create an InitialDirContext
parameterized with a Hashtable of connection parameters. Presumably
Orion does the same thing behind the scenes. Where are those connection
parameters defined to Orion?
Many thanks,

Orion will bind the Datasource to the JNDI environment for you, you set
this
up in the data-sources.xml file. for instance for my Oracle instance the
file is ... defined in data-sources.xml like so

Re: Data Sources Help
Dunno if this is any help, but I found through experimentation that, if
you're using the deployment approach suggested by Deepak Goel in the
thread "ANSWER: how to use pooled connections in Orion", the parameter
to pass to InitialContext.lookup() is, as he notes,
"java:comp/env/d123DS", not "java:comp/env/jdbc/d123DS". That is,
there's no "jdbc" in that String. Just pointing that out because I
missed it at first.

Yes, Greg Matthews sent me a note shortly after receiving my inquiry
with
that same answer-- this is the case, "java:comp/env/jdbc..." won't work,
you
must shorten it to simply "jdbc/SOURCENAME".
Now that is out of the way, and it __was__ working for a bit. Really!
However, I wanted to restart Orion and pass it some debugging info to
find a
pesky connection leak. Now my Orion won't startup:
Error initializing server: DriverManagerDataSource driver
'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver' not found
I've changed nothing and can't figure out what the heck would've caused
this.
My oracle.zip jdbc drivers are available because if I comment out my
tag and start Orion, my servlets that use the Oracle jdbc
driver directly (without the Orion driver manager) work just fine.
I'm totally boggled at this point. Any ideas?
Also, does anyone else notice that it takes nearly an hour for messages
to
make it to the list distribution, or is it just my location versus the
Evermind mail server I guess I'm used to instant email. ;-)

RE: ANSWER: How to use pooled connections in Orion?
Deepak et al:
I'm confused about how Orion populates the JNDI server with the
DataSource object. Obviously for the code fragment you posted to work,
an object "jdbc/SQLServerDS" has to exist in your directory server. How
does it get there?
I would have guessed that admin.jar -installDataSource was the answer,
but I find no switch there which would tell Orion how to find the
directory server.
Many thanks for your posts, they're very helpful!

Hi,
The way you access the datasource is dependent on where will you access
the
datasource from. I'm currently accessing the datasource from a servlet
which
is pretty straightforward:
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/SQLServerDS");
The above method might not be portable but it works for me so I mention
it.
Note that you don't need any special Orion datasource name. DataSource
is
defined in javax.sql.*
The portable way which require more work is to add the following to your
web.xml if you access the datasource from servlets and/or JSP:
myDS
jdbc/SQLServerDS
A data source
myDS
javax.sql.DataSource
CONTAINER
Now, you can access the datasource by:
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/myDS");

Lookup of Orion-based EJB from Tomcat-based servlet ("java:comp/env namespace is only available from within the J2EE environment")
NOTE: This is a repost. The message now includes a subject (oops!) and more detail. A coworker and I are trying to create a servlet that will run on his computer under Tomcat. This servlet is attempting to lookup and use an EJB deployed on my computer under Orion. This servlet is using the com.evermind.server.ApplicationInitialContextFactory. When the servlet performs the context object's lookup method (using the String literal "java:com/env/fungi"), we get the following exception displayed on his computer: "Exception: javax.naming.NamingException: java:comp/env namespace is only available from within the J2EE environment ." A command-line client application run on the same coworker's computer IS able to successfully lookup the same EJB on my computer using the "java:com/env/fungi" String literal. This command-line client is using the com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory. We have been unable to find any documentation about the NamingException described above. Please, would someone explain reasons we might be getting this exception and/or the proper way to access an Orion EJB from a Tomcat servlet? We would appreciate any assistance that can be given. Thank you. Mark McLain Systems Developer Sybron Laboratory Products Corporation

permanent redirects?
Hello all: Does Orion's HTTP server support permanent redirects? For illustration, the line below is taken from an apache configuration file. I'd like to configure the same behavior in Orion if that's possible: "RedirectPermanent /index.html http://foo.bar.com/Welcome/index.jsp" Thanks! --Mark
RE: SSL - Only a few pages need SSL, does that slow things down?
We actually have two web sites with the session state shared. One's the secure version and the other is the normal version. They point to the same directories and code. It really a mapping issue. However they are distinctly different sites as far as Orion is concerned. So if you do any caching of static items they will get loaded twice, one per site. So we do a lot static singleton classes that have our caches, making the data available throughout the JVM once. There's a performance hit the first time you navigate to the first SSL protected page but after that it gets better. We haven't done measurements yet (that will be soon) but it is noticeably slower running in SSL. Makes sense due to the computation efforts envolved with encryption and all the CPU cycles stolen to handle the security. So for best practices we try to SSL as little as possible to keep a high throughput on the Web server. So it sounds like you have a similar problem as we had so this solution should help you.

Hi, Seeing all this SSL talk has me wondering a bit...we only have 3 pages right now that use the HTTPS protocol. The other 200+ are just HTTP. If we have Orion use SSL does it take any noticeable hit on the rest of the pages that are not using SSL? I just want to make sure that before we go production with our clustered SSL Orion setup, it isn't going to come to a crawl because a few pages are using SSL. I haven't read much on how to get SSL to work yet, but it seems to me as if the whole server goes in to SSL mode if you use it. Is this the case..or is it only pages that use SSL that are slow, the rest being unscathed by the SSL mode? Thanks.

JNDI Service Providers
Background... I would like to have Orion Application Server store its object references in a Win2000 Active Directory via a JNDI LDAP service provider. I would also like to have my client applications access these same object references via a JNDI LDAP service provider. Question 1. Does Orion support JNDI Service Providers other than the default (accessed via ormi)? Question 2. Can Orion support the scenario I have described above? Question 3. If the answer to Question 2 is "Yes", what are the general steps to accomplish the scenario? Thanks! Mark H. McLain Systems Developer Sybron Laboratory Products Corporation (SLPC)

Clustering
Have been looking at using Orion for Clustering and I am getting very confused. Some Questions: 1. Ive looked at the example quoted in http://www.orionserver.com/docs/http-clustering-howto.html - Why do I have to pass the sessionid to the second server ? Shouldn't the clustering keep that data in sync ? - 2. EJB Clustering. Is this supported in Orion ? If so how do I set it up ? 3. Why is there a cluster id in server.xml and rmi.xml ?? 4. What is the tag in rmi.xml used for ? Sorry if I appear dense, but if anyone could explain this I would be very grateful Thanks Mark Causer
Servlets and EJB's
Hi, Question I hope someone can help me with as I appear to be confusing myself over this . . If I have a Servlet and an EJB defined in my application.xml and I have a class that is used by BOTH the Servlet and the EJB (A transfer object passed from Servlet to EJB) where should it be placed in the application ? If it is in the EJB jar file it doesn't appear to be visible to the servlet. Is there a way of defining shared jars for an application or should it be in orion\lib in a helper jar ? Thanks mark

RE: servlet-map
Hm. It didn't work for me. I tried adding the mapping in the /WEB-INF/orion-web.xml file between Is this where it goes. (The doc for orion-web.xml.html didn't explain servlet mapping, it is mentioned in the web-app.xml.html doc, though.) My app is Model2 (I'm trying out the stuff you've been talking about in the jsp-interest forum). I have tried url-pattern[s] like /Model2/*.mdl2, /*.mdl2 and just plain *.mdl2. When I access http://server.local.net/Model2/index.mdl2, I get a 404 in every case. I'm using Orion 0.9.6. The mapping keeps being done from the web.xml. When the application auto-deploys, Orion overwrites the orion-web.xml file and removes any servlet mappings in it. Is there some relationship between web.xml and orion-web.xml that I'm missing? Magnus made the comment, " "*.test" is an extension mapping (file extension), the most common mistake is to simply not have a file by that name at that location (*.ext differs from other mappings in that it needs a file to act upon)." The Servlet 2.2 spec doesn't mention a requirement for the existence of a file at a location for a mapping to occur. It simply states that any map beginning with a '/' character is a path mapping; any map beginning with a '*' is an extension mapping. I don't understand how this can be interpreted to require an actual file to exist whose name must match the requested name before a mapping will invoke a servlet. I also don't understand what the use of such a file would be in relation to the servlet being invoked. Thanks for your part in making this forum and the jsp forum so interesting and useful.
