Hi Everybody, Couldanybody who purshased a support from orion, tell us how good it is in terms of pricing, response time ..etc. Thanks, Drissi.
Re: OrionSupport
Hi Drissi - There are two excellent companies that have sprung up to offer Orion support - Elephantwalker and Atlassian (www.atlassian.com, www.elephantwalker.com). If their paid support is anything like their free forums, you will definitely be in good hands. Check them out.

New OrionSupport article: Create custom user-authentication
Ok, (finally) got an article up on OrionSupport about implementing a custom UserManager that authenticates user from your own database (Relational DB, XML, LDAP, NT Domains, proprietary app, etc). Provides you with a SimpleUserManager allowing you to hook it up to your own system by just implementing 3 methods. http://uk.orionsupport.com/articles/usermanager.html Hope it's useful. -Joe Walnes

My current list of apps and tools consists of (with specific subjects to address or add-ons in brackets): - Cocoon (getting xsp to work, allowing to process servlets/jsp/cgi using a custom Producer and servlet 2.3 filters) - Struts - JetSpeed - Jive (integrating with orion's user-management and using orion's db pooling) - PHP (running as cgi and as servlet, and accessing ejbs from php code) - Cold-Fusion - Macromedia Generator - Velocity - LDAP (using OpenLDAP, Netscape Directory MS Active Directory as orion user-manager) - SOAP - Together (configuring control-center to deploy applications directly to orion) I'd be interested to know of any success or failure stories people have had with these so far (I have my own interesting tales), or any other things you would like to see addressed. As usual, all contributions welcomed :) Thanks -Joe Walnes

New howto on OrionSupport: Using Apache as a front-end to Orion

Re: New howto on OrionSupport: Using JDBC from Servlets
I would like to comment the article on one point, its really important to
use Try{}Finally{} blocks to ensure that the connection will return to the
pool.
In the example, if the sql throws an exception, the connection ll never
return to the pool.
However in this code, the connection ll return to the pool:
%
Context ctx = (Context) new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/TestDS");
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
try
{
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT name FROM staff");
while ( rs.next() )
out.println( rs.getString("name") + "br" );
}
finally
{
conn.close();
}

FAQ-o-matic and OrionSupport (was Re: displaying xml)
That's an excellent idea! If Evermind doesn't do this I'm game to set it up and host it. Perhaps the gentleman who ran OrionSupport would be interested in making this part of his "new" site. On a similar topic: I'm interested in helping OrionSupport. While I may not have all the time to contribute content I'm more than willing to host the site and keep it updated.

I'll help with the FAQ and OrionSupport
I sent a message to the list but didn't see it so I'm reposting. If it did appear and this is a duplicate my apologies for your wasted bandwidth. I'm interested in helping, both on the OrionSupport front as well as with the faq-o-matic, which I think is a fantastic idea. While my content contribution's may be limited I'm at the least able to offer to host and work on the OrionSupport site as well as hosting and maintaining the faq-o-matic. So Mr. OrionSupport, interested? -- Jason Rimmer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FAQ-o-matic and OrionSupport
Jason, Thanks for your support... we already have a new site which we are planning on launching in the next few days which is a group effort by a number of people. Really, the best way you can support the site, is simply to use it. Stay tuned. -Joe Walnes - Original Message - From: "Jason Rimmer" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Orion-Interest" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 4:22 PM Subject: FAQ-o-matic and OrionSupport (was Re: displaying xml) That's an excellent idea!
