Re: Exceptions when trying to deploy with local interfaces
I've been looking at that for a bit this afternoon.. if you look at the generated files, everything else is fine around that. If you modify them you can actually wrap them with a try/catch, and they will then compile and deploy fine. I string'ed some of the class files to see what methods are around, and found that there is a another method, getLocalContextInstance.. if you replace the getContextInstance with getLocalContextInstance in the generated java files, it will also compile and deploy fine. I don't know what the exact differences are between the two, but everything seems to work fine with either aproach. Atleast for my code. With that change, I've got my Local entity beans happily deployed and running on the server. I've been using MVC Soft's persistence manager with Local emulation, so its nice to be able to disable the local emulation and use the straight orion local interface support now. It looks like orion doesn't yet support EJB QL, so I'm still using MVC's PM for my CMP beans. If you need full EJB 2.0 CMP support now, you should give it a shot. (http://www.mvcsoft.com/), though it doesn't do MDB's, etc... its just for CMP. paul On Fri, 2002-02-15 at 15:42, Tom Waterhouse wrote: I am getting the following exceptions when trying to deploy.

RE: Job Scheduler pattern
Joseph, Very cool. How do you stop a client-module that auto-started and then restart it? Say you deployed the app (which also has ejb and web modules) and later wanted to add another task to the scheduler. Can you start and stop the java client module, so that it would reload the properties file, without affecting the web module?

RE: ormi tunnel via http
Hi Alex and thanks for your suggestions. However still no joy getting
rmi-tunnelling to work on my box.
Try just using your http host:port as Context.PROVIDER_URL value.
Perhaps I misunderstand: Trying
ctxParm.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,http://127.0.0.1:2000/odin;) ;
results in javax.naming.NamingException: Invalid provider URL.
Your application's bean name for ctx.lookup() should look like
java:comp/env/ejb/YourBeanName.
You need to have META-INF/application-client.xml somewhere on your
classpath also.
When I am using ormi://127.0.0.1:2002/odin my junit tests run correctly with
or without META-INF/application-client.xml.
A post by Nate Cole says ''hint: use a new Hashtable instance to provide to
the InitialContext() constructor, *not* system properties. When I passed in
System.getProperties(), the setting wouldn't get passed in. Using this
approach, I didn't need application-client.xml at
all

Hi, I'm not able to get rmi-http tunnelling to work and would appreciate

The server's http host/port is 127.0.0.1:2000. The rmi host/port is
127.0.0.1:2002.
The application name is odin.
I'm using orion1.5.2 on windows NT 4 SP6 with Jdk 1.3.
The regular method works every time: ormi://127.0.0.1:2002/odin
The tunnel method is: http:ormi://127.0.0.1:2000/
I assume but can't verify that the tunnelling URL should use the http port
and not the rmi port. I've tried it both ways and neither works.
I've determined that /servlet/rmi is getting called but no data is sent
back.
I spied on the connection and my client sent this:
POST /servlet/rmi HTTP/1.0
Content-Length: 99
The client class waits forever (well, at least 1.5 hours while I worked
out)
in vain for a response.
After I stopped the server the client reports this exception,
which is consistent with not getting any data back from the servlet:

PMTo: Orion-InterestSubject: RE:
Clustering..
Clustering in orion is only for sessions. EJB clustering
is not yet provided.
The clustering mechanism in orion is based on
JMS(Topic/Subscriber). When every you keep information in session by
using setSessionAttribute(String name, Object object) the session information
is copied to all other clusters.
All objects in the seesion must be serializable inorder to
provide clustering. Once clustering is enabled if switch requests
between islands you will have session information valid.
Unfortuantely this mechanism is little expensive in terms of
memory since session information is kept in memory of all islands. So
adding one more machine or island into the cluster group doesn't reduce your
memory requirements rather it increase your memory requirements.
This mechanism have one drawback: If you keep an object
in session and later some place you get the reference of the object and modify
the object the modifications won't get reflect across islands:
Example:
UserInfo info = new UserInfo() // Some kind of
object... info.user_name = "oldName";
session.setAttribute("UserInfo", info) // At this point the info is
replicated to all cluster islands
//Later at any place of your code
UserInfo info =
session.getAttribute("UserInfo");
info.user_name =
"newName"; //This change won't replicated
//In some other program
UserInfo info =
session.getAttribute("UserInfo");
System.out.println(info.user_name) // If the request comes to the
same cluster where the modification occures you will get the "NewName" if the
request goes to another cluster you will get "oldname"
Work Around: If you do any kind of modifications to your
session objects put the objects again into session using
setSessionAttribute. Keep one thing in mind that when ever you call this
setSessionAttribute method the session info is going to replicate across
different islands.
I think this is too much to put down. If some one finds
boaring just ignore this mail.
This is the same problem which I faced and lead me to write my
own session management.

12:39 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Clustering..
Hi all,
I know how to cluster Orion..after all, its pretty easy. What
I want to know from someone who knows..is if in the
1.5.2 version all the bugs (if there were actually
any) are worked out. Does Orion cluster with no problems? Does
session fail-over and application context fail-over work
without a hitch (providing all objects in the session
and/or context are serializable)? If you have two
machines in an island, and the session begins on one..does it automatically "copy" any session info to the other box for you? If you
shut that box off, and all requests go to the 2nd box,
does the session still exist with all objects still in
memory?
I take it each and every request on a clustered box requires
the session to be duplicated exactly as is to the
other machine? If this is the case, at what "rate"
does Orion copy out the session and anything else to another server in the island (or to each and every server in the island)? How
does this affect performance as compared to using just
a single box without clustering..is it 2 to 3 times
slower because of not only copying its session to one
or more boxes, but also having to deal with "merging" other boxes context/session information into its own? Or does a cluster
simply create the objects and session stuff on each
box as its generated (thus..its not some background
thread that copies session info when it has time to other boxes)?
Is it equally good at clustering on the EJB tier (so
scalability on the EJB tier or the front-end WEB tier
is equally as easy)?
Thanks.

Another thing..why does Orion not have its own service capability? I know it needs to run on many platforms, but I would think it possible to create a subfolder in the distribution for windows, linux, etc (or..even better to keep the main distribution small, a separate add-on service installer/deinstaller). So, if someone could hook me up with a good link or two to service runners that actually work with Win2K, and can run java programs, that would be great. Ideally I would like the ability to see the output window show up in a given Terminal session incase I have to Terminal in to a Win2K Server box and start, stop or restart the service.

Re: Oracle deal
I knew all along that this would happen, I just wasn't sure which one of the big companies it would be. As far as I was concerned (and I definitely am wrong sometimes) the guys at Orion thought: Hey we've got a good product, everyone who lives on the J2EE planet knows that already. Have a deal with one of the big guys and sell them this wonderful technology that has been tested thoroughly for free by those very enthusiastic Java geeks! Now this is the scary part: Make Orion unusable by providing partial implementations for the new stuff in J2EE while providing little or no support. And since everyone knows Orion has been packaged under another brand name by some big guy with plenty of resources, they can go to him! That way, we at Ironflare are making money, the big guy is making money and everyone is using Orion! Well, it probably didn't happen like that, but what gave me concern the most was the fact that the guys at Orion suddenly became unreachable at a time and then later came out with a story that they had to reorganise and create a real company - Ironflare. I guess this company was created for the sole purpose of dealing with those big guys who, as it turned out, were interested in licensing or purchasing Orion. Well, that said, I bear Ironflare no grudge, on the contrary, I'm proud of them and think very highly of them! They're free to do whatever they choose to do and that includes making money and having strange or capitalistic bed fellows like Or(ion)acle. However, I can't help but wonder which version Oracle got - 1.4.5, 1.5.2 or 2.0! Paul PS I must add that I'm happy because one of our clients had insisted on using Oracle 9iAS.

How to update Orion behind a firewall
Hi, I've been trying to update my copy of Orion from 1.4.5 to 1.5.1 without any luck. Problem is that I'm behind a firewall (Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0) that requires authentication so I guess I somehow need to include my username and password as part of the autoupdate command line. Is this possible? Has anyone done this before. Thanks. Paul _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
Re: Re: IIS, Orion, virtual host
Dear Jeff Hubbach, Thanks for your advice. 01-4-27 0:00:00 You had said£º Paul, I'm sorry to say that I have no experience with IIS and configuration issues therein. I do know thorugh experience and education that each IP has it's own set of ports. That's why I gave my advice below. If you are trying to do something similar to Oliver (run Orion on a different IP but same port as IIS), then I would recommend trying my suggestion below. If you think you have IIS configured to only listen to one IP, then start it up and try accessing the second IP on the same port. If the IIS web site comes up, then it is configured to listen to ALL IPs on the box. I would read the documentation on IIS at this point. From what little I know of IIS, there are some pretty big security holes in it, which I guess if you keep up with the patches can be dealt with... Sorry I could't give you more hands-on experience.

JBoss verses Orion

The client looped 10,000 times calling the getter. The Orion version was 6 times faster! Other tests we ran had Orion running 4x faster. It seems that JBoss certainly is performance limited.

A HelloWorld war file
I have a kind of "HelloWorld" EJB here, but I must be screwing something up and am
going
nuts trying to figure out what.
I'm trying to stuff everything into a war file and go to
http://localhost/servlet/FarmServlet and see the message.
Here is everything I have to make this go. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Or,
can you tell me that you can get this to work (so I must have something configured
wrong)?
The problem I'm having is that the orion server seems to deploy everything okay, but
when
I try to pull up the servlet, it's as if the servlet isn't even there.

Displaying image files stored in a database
Hi, I'm developing an web-based Employee Directory for my company. I've got it working all right. My problem is that I'd like to store the image files in a database (presently I'm using Hypersonic) and be able to display them as needed for each employee. However, I haven't been able to that. I worked aroud this problem by storing the images in the file system and entering a path to the required image file as a VARCHAR in the database. Eventhough it solved my problem, it is undesireable because I'd have to manually delete each image file that's no longer required instead of simply deleting a row in the database. I successfully stored each file as a Java object (in this case "File") but I just couldn't think of a way to display it on a web page. I'm sure this is a piece of cake for most of you out there but I just can't figure it out. Any he.lp would do. Thanks.

RE: Postgress Performance
Thanks, I had tried these with little improvement. After looking at pgbench.c and reading other comments my conclusion is that postgres is this slow on doing inserts. The fast means of inserts a lot of data is to use COPY which is not useful for creating beans. It looks like my best bet is to ether switch to HSQL or at least use a combination of Postgres and HSQL. -Original Message- From: Sach Jobb [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, January 28, 2001 1:42 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Re: Postgress Performance It could be a performance issue with Postgres. By default Postgres uses a "paranoid" setting that writes each transaction to disk immediately after the transaction is completed. This is done to protect the integrity of the database, as at anytime the database could go down and data could be lost. However, when dealing with large numbers of transaction this can severely impair performance. So, you can disable it by changing your postmaster line to something like this: postmaster -o -F -D /mypath/to/datadir You can also get a little speed out of detaching from the tty you started it from by using the "-S" switch. And, of course, in terms of performance when deploying you should really tweak the number of backend connections. Hope that helps. thanks, sach %s/windows/linux/g On Sun, 28 Jan 2001, Paul Fink wrote: In general Orion and postgres seem to work well together but I have a problem with the performance of inserts.

create doesn't return my exception
Ever since I updated from Orion 1.2.9 if my ejbCreate fails it always throws
NullPointerException, PrimaryKey was null. It used to return the exception
that I would throw. Note this happens in Orion 1.3.8, 1.4.0 and 1.4.4
For example:
public MyPK ejbCreate(...)
throws CreateException
{
MyPK myPrimaryKey = null;
// do the insert
try
{
myPrimaryKey = insertUpdate(...);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new CreateException("ejbCreate: " + ex.getMessage());
}
return myPrimaryKey;
}
Has anyone else seen this?

That has been working fine. However, I am now ready to move to production with our e-commerce system and I have run into some major snags that leads me to think NO one is using Orion in a production SSL environment. After going through the Thawte process for getting a server cert, the 'pick your web server' does not list Orion. After talking with Thawte support they suggested picking 'Apache SSL' as a choice. Ok, that seems fine to me. However, they also said I would need to pick the certificate type: x509v3. Since I've been using the 'SSL Chained CA Cert' for development, I wanted to try this out with a development cert to be sure it would work. I tried this using a X509v3 development cert but it will not work. Again, after getting back in touch with Thawte support regarding X509v3 not working, I said I will need to just use the 'SSL Chained CA Cert'. They then informed me that they no longer sell this type of certificate, and that I must go to Verisign to obtain this type of certificate. Well, my first question to Thawte was 'If you dont sell this type of certificate, why is it available on your developers cert pages?' Answer from Thawte: 'Yeah, I've been meaning to talk to our developers to take that off the website.'. Guess how much hair I've lost so far!? Now I am in the 'process' of getting a certificate from Verisign. Of course they do not have 'Orion Server' listed in their pick list of valid webservers. Since I just started this process today I really dont know if they can/cannot support the type of SSL certificate I will need to work with Orion. I'll be the first to admit I'm not real familiar with the Java 1.3 keytool, and different certificate meanings. But, if anyone has really obtained a valid production level SSL certificate, from any Certificate Authority, and successfully integrated this with Orion, please let me/us know how this was accomplished. The only docs I've see are related to development certs, and as I stated earlier, I've got this working fine. I now need to graduate to real e-commerce transactions. Please dont make me go back to Apache/JRun, I feel Orion is so much better but this is a real show-stopper. I have looked through the orion mail archives and it seems all discussions are related to trying to get the developer certs to work, not production certs.

I've been using the ejb-location with no problems. Using the Inet Sprinta
2000 driver for MS SQL.
But now I wonder if I should be using the pooled-location? What would be
the difference? Does Orion do connection pooling when using the
ejb-location?
Thanks,
Paul
Here is what my data-sources.xml looks like:
data-source
class="com.evermind.sql.ConnectionDataSource"
name="MsSQL"
location="jdbc/MsSQLCoreDS"
pooled-location="jdbc/MsSQLPooledDS"
xa-location="jdbc/xa/MsSQLXADS"
ejb-location="jdbc/MsSQLDS"
connection-driver="com.inet.tds.TdsDriver"
username="user"
password="user"
url="jdbc:inetdae:[your ip addr]?database=[your dbname]"
inactivity-timeout="30"

Norman,
Thanks for your response, but I did try all of the other JNDI locations as
specified by my data-sources.xml but there was only one I could get to work;
the default location "jdbc/MyCoreDS". All other when tried return a class
cast exception error.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

Orion already pools the connection for you. Just reference the pooled
datasouce:
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup( "jdbc/pooled/MypooledDS" );
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
This will get you a connection from the pool, and return it when you
close
the connection.

Subject: SQL Server DB Pooling
Hello,
I am interested in setting up database pooling using INet's Opta driver
for
SQL server, but I am having trouble with the configuration.
I can get the driver manager for single connections to work, but if I
try
any of the pooled conections I am getting a Cast exception.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks,
Dan
Here is my configuration:
data-source
class="com.evermind.sql.ConnectionDataSource"
location="jdbc/MyCoreDS"
pooled-location="jdbc/pooled/MypooledDS"
xa-location="jdbc/xa/MyXADS"
ejb-location="jdbc/MyDS"
name="My data-source"
url="jdbc:inetdae:SQLSERVERA:1433"
connection-driver="com.inet.tds.TdsDriver"
username="sa"
password=""
/
Here is the code I am using to test this connection:
PooledConnection pcon = null;
Connection con = null;
int i=0;
System.out.println("Starting");
try {
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
/*
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/MyCoreDS");
con = ds.getConnection();
*/
ConnectionPoolDataSource ds =
(ConnectionPoolDataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/MyDS");
pcon = ds.getPooledConnection();
con = pcon.getConnection();
Statement s = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery("select * from sysmessages");
while (rs.next()) {
%
tr
td%= i++ %/td
td%= rs.getString(4) %/td
/tr
%
}
rs.close();
s.close();
}
catch (NamingException e)
System.out.println(e.toString());
}
catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
}
finally
if (pcon != null)
try {
pcon.close();
}
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
}
}

EJB stub classes and stand-alone remote java client
I've been trying to get my standalone java client to access EJBs on a remote machine, but with no luck.I've deployed a J2EE application with my EJBs in it. But I can't figure out how to generate the stub classes. I can't find the Orion tool to generate the stub classes that the client would normally reference from the CLASSPATH(as described in "Java 2 Enterprise Edition Developer's Guide" page 95). How do you generate the stub classes that enable the client to communicate with the enterprise bean? This is a simple thing to do with the deploytool that comes with Sun's J2EE Reference Implementation.During deployment you simply select a checkbox labelled "Return client Jar" when you deploy the application. I don't understand how the client can resolve the EJB classes if you don't have the client stubs to include in your CLASSPATH. I keep getting a java.lang.ClassNotFoundExceptionexception. Also, what else do I need to deploy to my client machine, just orion.jar? Thanks, Paul Knepper [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: EJB stub classes and stand-alone remote java client
The "home" class wasn't found. I followed the directions from the reply from Torgier Lerker (Thanks Torgier) and things work fine now. I jar'ed up the home and remote interfaces and deploy them with my client everything works fine. Are you saying that I don't even need to do that?

For some reason Orion does not need you to generate stubs. I do not fully understand how they get away with that. Wrt. your ClassNotFoundException, which class can't be found? It could be a bogus setting in the jndi properties or a bogus application-client.xml?

Specifying the classpath in Cocoon when running under Orion?
After this recent post: in jserv.properties wrapper.classpath=C:\jdk1.1.8\lib\classes111.zip --specify the path where your classes111.zip is It shows how to set the classpath for Cocoon running under JServ. Does anyone know how to set the classpath for Cocoon when running under Orion? I need Cocoon to see my EJB's at runtime. Paul
Re: Specifying the classpath in Cocoon when running under Orion?
Paul, There are two possibilities to your question: The first is giving additional class assess to the EJB's themselves, in this case I added classes111.zip (to allow the EJB's to access Oracle directly) to the startup of the Orion server like so: export CLASSPATH=orion.jar:/home/jack/oracle/classes111.zip and then start Orion by running the class directly like so: java com.evermind.server.ApplicationServer because if I run it via the "java -jar" it will not see the classpath environment variable. Perhaps there is a better way to do this? You are right in it not being ideal but it has certainly helped to point me in the right direction. I have set the classpaths to include all the classses needed for my EJB's and using "java com.evermind.server.ApplicationServer" to start Orion - it has succesfully allowed me to get Cocoon to recognise my EJB classes. I think what I need to do now is include the correct paths in the Orion classpath loader so that java -jar orion.jar will work. Adding the paths to library path="blah" in server.xml doesn't appear to work - but that's another problem for another day! Anyone know how to get Orion to recognise the classpath when using java -jar orion.jar? Thankyou so much for this info - I can now have a nice productive afternoon developing my Cocoon producer! :) Paul
JSP: sourcejava.lang.InternalError: jzentry == 0
Can anyone explain the following error please? server.xml contains: application name="testingpage" path="../demo2/page/" / default-web-site.xml contains: web-app application="testingpage" name="webby" root="/pageweb"/ and I have a page index.jsp at demo2/page/webby/index.jsp which only contains a line of text "this is a test page" - no jsp at all. When I access the index.jsp page at http://localhost/pageweb/ I get the following error shown below. (accessing .jsp pages from the default web directory is fine though).
