Re: ANSWER: How to use pooled connections in Orion?

2000-10-22 Thread Mark
Thank you Al. I realize I haven't worded my question correctly, though. Maybe a better way to say it is, where is Orion's JNDI environment defined? That is, how does Orion know the location of the LDAP server on the network, plus the binding (login) credentials required so that the

Uaually, I need to build on top of legacy code. If I had time I would build a tool to generate the 2.0 entity beans and descriptors from a database schema, but I don't have time. I have seen these tools for 1.1, so someone will be doing it. Currently, my project is to build something brand

IMHO the docs from the better-known app server vendors are just more pretty. In most cases they aren't actually better. The best docs I've ever seen for applications of this kind are those for open-source CORBA ORBs - ORBacus springs to mind. Maybe Orion can emulate those. I dont know what docs

I don't think I could say it better myself. I totally agree with you. The fact is, while a few people in the organization I work for believe a small company has little or no support, Magnus, Karl and a number of competent Orion users have given me far better support than I have got from Allaire

Thanks. Good news...I used ANT 1.1 and made a simple build script that compiles my com.company.ejb folder into a .jar file including the META-INF dir. I was finally able to get EJB deployed!!! So i am stoked about that. I do have a lot to learn still, and the spec from what I heard was mostly

RE: Remote object callback from a session bean

2000-10-22 Thread Duffey, Kevin
What your are proposing seems like it should work. I am surprised it doesn't. Why would it not work? Does it not work with RMI? If you can call methods on an object from the client to the server, why can't it be the reverse..where the client object passed in (this) is like a "server" object to

Hi, One thing we'll probably end up doing is getting a pricey app server so we can tell outside folks we have it, and then continue using Orion so that we can assure ourselves that things will work. Seems stupid, but that's the way things are. Thats a good ideas as long as they don't
