Re: Custom UserManager.

When using a custom user manager with an application, you must make sure you are getting your DataSource references in the constructor. This is extremely important. If you try to lookup the DataSource outside of the constructor, you will have all sorts of problems. Do something like this...

RE: Has anyone written an EJBDoclet impl for Orion?

We were able to use EJBDoclet out of the box with no problems. We have extended it quite a bit, but nothing Orion specific, only project specific. Anyone using Orion should be able to use EJBDoclet with no problems, and I would highly recommend doing so. James Birchfield Ironmax a better way

Re: Has anyone written an EJBDoclet impl for Orion?

We use EJBDoclet. We have it set to generate all our Homes and Remotes, our descriptiors, and our utility classes that return handles to all our Homes. Sweet tool ,and easy to extend. James Birchfield Ironmax a better way to buy, sell and rent construction equipment 5 Corporate Center 9960

Re: NamingException using custom UserManager with stand alone applications

The problem lies in getting a connection to the database. You can only get a connection to the database using JNDI in the constructor of the UserManager. Nowhere else. This is supposed to be fixed in 1.4.6, but I haven't had a chance to test it. The limitation to this is that the connection

Custom UserManager JNDI problem

We have been using a custom UserManager for sometime now in our web application. It works extremely well, and is very easy to implement. However, we are now in need of some stand alone applications that need access to our EJB's. When we attempt to access an EJB, we are having problems. I have

RE: SV: Off topic: development tools

EJBDoclet is awesome. We have taken it and extended it to meet our needs. It automatically generates the home, remote, the deployment descriptors, and we also auto gen a utility class that allows to access all of the availabe home objects. Couldn't recommend it higher! James Birchfield

UserManager shutdown hook?

We have implemented our own usermanager, and it all works great. But we would like to know when the server is restarted at least, if not shutdown. We start up a 'raper' thread, which is responsible for cleaning up expired user references. When the orion is restarted, it creates a new instance

Re: UserManager shutdown hook?

The problem is the creation of the new Thread will happen, and two threads will be running. Restart again, and now I have 3 threads running. I have played around with different ways to get it to run more efficiently, but I still have no way of knowing when to stop(or destroy) the other

RE: UserManager shutdown hook?

Luckily, we are using *NO* stateful session beans for this user. For each user, we keep track of a timestamp of when the last time the getUser method was called. If it has been more than an hour, we remove them and the next call will pull that user back from the database, and back into the

perhaps you should try to load the WebLogic classes with your bootstrap classpath(we have to do this for our encryption packages). try somehing like java -Xbootclasspath/p:lib\some.jar -jar orion.jar James Birchfield Ironmax a better way to buy, sell and rent construction equipment 5

Re: Obtaining an SSL Certificate

Is there any specific 'type' of certificate you requested from Verisign? We are in desperate need to get 128 bit running on our production site, but so far, I have only gotten the 40 bit test cert from thawte to work correctly. I could not get keytool to successfully import the test cert that

Re: Obtaining an SSL Certificate

Actually, after installing the newer version of the JSSE, I was able to get the test certificate form Verisign to work properly, running 128 bit. Even after setting the shared attribute to true, IE still seems to renew the session every 2 minutes or so, but Netscape seems to do fine. I think

UserManager and the log file

We have implemented our own usermanager, and everything works as expected, except logging. After logging in using FORM based authentication, we can successfully perform a 'request.getRemoteUser()' call to retrieve the users login information. I would expect that if the server knows the

RE: XSLT processors

The processing instruction : ?xml-stylesheet href="doc.xsl" type ="text/xsl"? tells the processor to use the style sheet of doc.xsl to transform this xml document(or jsp). To do conditional processing dependent on the client, you need to do some logic in the jsp to figure this out, and display

Re: JUnit with Orion, source included

This is pretty cool...We are already using JUnit with a stand alon client, but I like this since I don't have to keep open an extra dos window, and remember what to type. I put an html page with all our unit test in fron of the servlet and can pick and choose which ones to run. Thanks! BTW,

Device dependent xsl translation recommendation
