I am Re-posting This with an Urgent call because I have not heard anything and this is an important issue that will decide wether or not we can use the Orion server in prodUction. We updated to 1.4.0 to see if that would fix the problem but it still exists. The connection never leaves the ESTABLISHED state unlse the JRUN server shuts down killing the VM it's running in. Unfortunately I can't seem to get the autoupdate to work because our proxy requires a login & password to get out. Does anyone know how to set the proxy login and password at the comman line, or ia orion supposed to ask it from me when autoupdate runs?

We seem to be having a problem with RMI connection. Unfortunately we have some software here(B2B application called Netfish) that only runs on JRUN 2.3.3 or I-Planet. This is running on a Sun box running Solaris 2.8. It has a Java object that acts as a workflow and connects to out Orion 1.3.8 EJB server(Running on Win2K on a PC Server) to get an EJB. When it calls InitialContext() the first time it works great. The object does it's job, closes the context and goes away. The next time the workflow is called it gets a socket exception because the socket is still set as CONNECTED instead of TIMEWAIT on the server with Netfish. If the same call is done or JRUN 3.0 or BEA's Weblogic server it puts the socket connection back to TIMEWAIT after the call and it works fine. We never had a problem with our standalone apps or the web server and I think that was due to the application closing when it was done. But the JRUN server stays up so the socket is not automaticaly set to TIME-WAIT by the system. Is this a capability of Orion to leave the connection locked, and thus do we need to add some code to clode it in a better way than context.close()? Or is this a bug that has already been addressed and fixed in future versions, and if so is there a planned date for a newer stable release than 1.3.8? Unfortunately this had really got our Management in a tizzy over the whole thing and now they don't want to purchase a license until we figure it out so I can't really gat any infor from the support guys. Any help here would be great!!!! Thanx Greg
