 I'm currently developing a big project using EJBs,a backend for a
 one-hour delivery company. In fact, I'm using CMP EJB for the data and
 a fakade object for processing.There were few factors that 
 influenced the
 choice:
 .- You don't have to code in SQL. That says a lot on easy manteinance.
 .- Don't need to understand, as a programmer, the how of 
 inner working of
your RDMBS.

This is one of the big dangers I see happening around me. Don't fall in this
trap. 
You need to understand what is happening behind the scenes. Poor performance
is the result. 
A programmer needs to understand how the the code is accessing the database.
That is a different story than understanding the DBMS internals! It is one
of the bad things about CMP EJB's. I do not believe that generated SQL code
can be optimal for all the different relational database backends.
Impossible!

How to influence the default running directory when running CGI's

[van Geel, Leo]

I have a CGI that is running in the directory http://node/mp_devel

In Apache the mp_devel directory is the default dir. In Orion the default
directory seems to be the Orion_Home dir.

I have tried to create a virtual directory /mp_devel with real directory
pointing to mp_devel but the current dir remains orion_home.

How can I influence this?

Help is appreciated.
