QUESTION: Using the Standalone News Client

[Robert Keith]

Hi Everyone,

Quick question, one the News Application is installed, I can access  it fine
using a web browser, but I would also like to see how it works using the
standalone client.

This is contained in the ear file in a jar file. Do I need to extract it and
add it to my classpath before I can use it, or it there some other way?

cheers

Bob

NEWBIE QUESTION:Configuring a web application, that is not contained in a WAR file

[Robert Keith]

Hi Guys,

I have a quick question about deploying a Web application to Orion.I have a
directory that contains all the required classes, html, Java script etc.I
have also written the web.xml file describing the servlets that are
available in the application. There are no JSP pages or anything like that.

Can you give me a brief overview of how to get Orion to serve this
application.

I have tried adding it to the default-web-application.xml file, but have had
not success. The console tells me that it cannot find the application. When
I look at the HTTP properties in the Admin Console.

Thanx

Rob

you are not starting the server with the graphical console?
= java -jar orion.jar -console2
then you can easyly shutdown from there

otherwise do

java -jar admin.jar ormi://localhost admin _admin_password_ -shutdown
(type only 'java -jar admin.jar' and you get some help)

hope that helps

WAR Files

[Robert Keith (UK)]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know of a decent site that details what should be described in
the web.xml file, I can't find anything on Sun's site that is of any use,
and how to go about creating a WAR file.

J2EE SDK Deployment tool

[Robert Keith (UK)]

Hi Guys,

Can I use the J2EE SDK tool to create EAR files and then use these EAR files
with Orion?

If so can you guys point me in the direction of the docs, or provide some
useful tips on doing this.

thanx

Robert

Admin Tools

[Robert Keith (UK)]

Hi Guys,

Are there any admin tools out there for Orion. I have looked at all the
various XML files, but the docs are not detailed enough to explain what the
all do, and the hardest thing is working out how they all fit together.

If anyone can give me hand with this it would greatly appreciated.

regards

Robert Keith
