RoleManager: how to log off?
It is possible to log into using RoleManager.login( user, password ). Now, how can I log off? thanks, Taavi
DataSourceUserManager article at www.orionsupport.com has an error for oracle users
There is an article about setting up DataSourceUserManager at http://www.orionsupport.com/articles/datasourceusermanager.html If you use oracle and happen to copy/paste something from this page then please do not do the same mistake I did. This example uses column name 'group' which is not something that should be used. You can easily create table containing a column with this name and you can even add data into this but even simplest sql queries do not work. If you are using oracle dba studio for example then you won't even notice it. with best wishes, Taavi

Thanks, Geoffrey. I stick for the same solution right now. First I wasn't aware that symbolic links are something that can be done under NT. But yes, they can be done with the help of windows resource kit and there are free utilities available as well. with best wishes, Taavi > > Is there a way to specify classpath for a web application so > > that instead of having all servlets and other class files > > int WEB-INF/classes I could share them between different > > web applications.
platform independent jsp code. how?
Hello, I have still problems getting orion to work with unicode characters. Here is a jsp page that behaves differently on different platforms. Could you please help me to find a way to make it platform independent. I know that unicode is not something most of you should pay attention to right now. Still, soon... :-) My original problem was that without specifing correct locale information, request.getParameter() returned something else than expected. So, on solaris platform I added environment variable LANG=en_US.UTF-8 before running orion. Good, got it working. Then, the very same code did not run under win2000. For some reason specifying character set with a <% @page %> directive on top of jsp page does not work with win2000. Why? So in the meantime the best way I have found around this problem is to have <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" %> on top of every jsp file on solaris platform and NOT TO HAVE this line under win2000. Why? Is there something wrong with this line? How should it be written under win2000? --- (start of 'utf-8test.jsp') --- <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" %> <% String q = request.getParameter( "q" ); %> query="<%= q %>" example 1 (asd) - no wonder this one is working example 2 (õäöüšž) - here I am having problems --- (end of 'utf-8test.jsp') - On this page there is a text field. Place as complex characters as you can think of into this field and submit the form. You shuld see the very same text you entered and not some garbage in your browser. And I am speaking about 'solaris' and 'win2000' merely because I really haven't tried this on other unix and nt systems. On both systems I am running jdk1.3 and orion 1.4.5. Oh and one more thing. Tomcat 3.2.1 does not need <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" %> on top of a jsp page. In fact, it can not live with it. It works without and even without specifying LANG environment variable. So much about platform idependency. I really need to find a solution because I am using win2000 on my development machine and deploying it to solaris. Any ideas? thank you for your time, Taavi

I haven't been able to use www.orionsupport.com from this corner of world for some time now. Is it just me or is it bigger? It does respond to ping though but http server seems to have problems. Can anybody pour some light... thanks, Taavi
sharing class files between applications
Hello, Is there a way to specify classpath for a web application so that instead of having all servlets and other class files int WEB-INF/classes I could share them between different web applications. And yes, I still want to use development=true option and have the class files compiled automatically. And no, I am not packaging them into jar or whatever archive yet. what do you think? best regards, Taavi

The solution was to specify environment variable LANG: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 And it seems that specifying content type and charset with a meta tag is not enough. It has to be set using a <%@ page %> directive as well. Now I have to find out how to define et_EE.UTF-8 for my system. thanks, Taavi :-) > Hope this helps. > > Johan it sure did
RE: request.getParameter() not working under solaris?
> probably you have to mention the char-set. > I am not sure how you do this Specifying char-set does not help. At least, when I add meta tag like this: It does not really matter what charset I use. Whenever I ask (int)request.getParameter( "text" ).charAt( 0 ) It gives me the very same character code 65533.

request.getParameter() not working under solaris?
I am experiencing strange behaviour of Orion 1.4.5 running on PC Solaris 8 with jdk1.3. I do not get expected results when calling request.getParameter() on a jsp page. If I submit certain characters like "ä" for example (ie ä) then request.getParameter() returns character with a code 65533. The same jsp page works with following configurations: Orion1.4.5, Win2000, jdk 1.3 Tomcat3.2.1, the very same Solaris, jdk 1.3 Tomcat3.2.1, Win2000, jdk 1.3 Start of jsp page text="<%= request.getParameter( "text" ) %>" End of jsp page -- Please, I could really use your help to solve this. If I cannot get orion working under Solaris I will have to change application server ASAP. Any thoughts are welcome. with best regards, Taavi

RE: problem running oracle with orion: 'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver' not found!
Try following code in your .jsp file:
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/Oracle");
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM dual");
while( rs.next() ){
out.println( rs.getString(1) + "" );
}
conn.close();
