RE: JDBC for Oracle?????

1999-03-25 Thread Marcel Ruff


Hello,
>1. If I want to use JAVA to access Oracle, can I have to install
>JDBC for  ORACLE?
Using the JDBC driver from http://www.oracle.com/st/products/jdbc/html/jdbc_collateral.html
didn't work well in my case, i could only feed up to 1900 bytes of
BLOB (as LONG RAW) data.
Bigger sizes only filled 3 bytes into the database.
Switching to the standard Linux-Oracle 8.0.5 distribution thin JDBC
driver works well now:
Its in the directory  oracle/jdbc/lib/classes111.zip

I agree, but then there's a practical problem wrt beta testing: when the
JDK reaches production quality, the porting team will be probably forced
to support multiple environments (C libraries, kernels, X11 drivers,
Linux distributions, you name it) but right now they're only having
significant testing on compatible setups.  I suppose we'll have a pr2
before release, when the needed workarounds for different configurations
are implemented?

Uh... what do you mean by "is out"?  I've just checked Javasoft and the
current releases for Win32 and Solaris still seem to be 1.2.0 and 1.1.7.

I second that, I think 1.2 will eventually be optimized etc but it's good to
have choice of the slimmer 1.1 when you don't need 1.2 stuff.  BGut it's
easy to demand other people to work; do Sun has plans to open the source
code of 1.1.x too, so more people could contribute in porting?  Now that 1.2
source is available, I don't think it makes a lot of sense to not put 1.1 in
the community license too.

Re: [RE: JDBC for Oracle?????]

1999-03-25 Thread Mistae

Hello,

I am working in a project where I need
to access our intranet database (M$ SQL Server)
which has no IP addres, from the internet.

I installed rmijdbc server and it allow me
to reach the odbc datasources form applets
running on netscape navigator but not in
Internet explorer. For some reason I could not
set IE rmi layer working.

Then I thought to use a type 3 JDBC driver,
but I had not found a free one. 

Does anybody have an idea of what can I use
for makig applets that query a middleware
for its odbc's datasources? (minimizing costs:-)

Thanks for all.

Re: JDK1.2 and CORBA

1999-03-25 Thread Francisco Figueirido

I must say that I found all the messages in response to my question
quite interesting. Thanks a lot! After I sent my original mail I tried
several things and none has yet quite worked (but I haven't finished my
last set of experiments :-). One thing, though: so much for
standards! In the book `Client/Server Programming with Java and CORBA'
it is mentioned that both Visibroker and JDK1.2 generate `portable'
stubs, meaning that they can be compiled with any other ORB
implementation. Yeah, sure. When I used Visibroker (with the flag
`-portable') it wouldn't compile without its classes (some conflicts
with the bind() methods, I think). Anyway, I decided not to use
Visibroker because (if I am not mistaken) you need to use their OS agent
(a Win* exe file).

My next step was to download and install JacORB, which seems quite nice.
But, again, the stubs generated by its idl2j wouldn't compile without
the jacorb classes (they actually make explicit references to the jacorb
package). No problem, if I stick to JacORB, I guess. I haven't had
enough time to play with it yet, so my initial (failed) experiments
don't prove much (I couldn't connect to the NameService, which is the
one from the omniORB installation). I think it is just a matter of
reading the manual and setting the configuration right, which I won't
have time to do until the weekend.

By the way, I personally find it comic (which is not the same as funny)
that both Visibroker and JDK1.2 claim to be `pure Java' but they provide
you with other tools that are in machine-dependent object format
(idltojava, osagent, etc.)! People at JavaSoft should be dying of shame

Library dependencies for jdk1.2?

1999-03-25 Thread Lindsay Patten

I've been trying to get jdk1.2 or jre1.2 to work on
my machine without much success.  My system was libc5
based so I fetched glibc-2.0.6 from the gnu mit site
(2.0.6 was the latest 2.0.X release there) and installed
it.  I then installed the glib version of XFree86 3.3.3.1
to get the libXp library.  I installed that and all the
X stuff seems to be working fine using the glib libraries.
But if I try to run jre1.2/bin/java it gets a segmentation
violation. I have attached the output from ldconfig -D.

The output of running ldd is below and attached.

Are there other requirements that I am overlooking?
I don't get and messages about register_frame as
described in the readme file, but I note that I have
in the ldconfig -D output I've got
  libstdc++.so.27 => libstdc++.so.27.1.4
where the readme talks about libstdc++-libc6.0-1.so.2
is this likely to be related to my problem?

Are there additional tests I can do to track this down?
Or versions of software I should install?

Thanks,
Lindsay

P.S. I didn't have any problems installing jdk1.1.X versions.

I second that second :-) JDK 1.2 has some really nice features and it's
great to finally be able to test on more than just windows and solaris :-)
Thank you porters!

I sent in the license agreement for JDK 1.1 source back in January, but
they gave me 1.2 source. Is there some way to get 1.1 source and the
current linux diffs for it? I'd be more than happy to help work on it if I
can get the sources and diffs.

The diffs for the Linux port of 1.1.7 should be at the same place as the
actual port tarball files are.  We put those onto the blackdown mirrors
at the same time.

I don't know what is up with Sun.  It may have been that they just got a
bit confused at the time you sent it in since so many people were jumping
on the JDK 1.2 sources the moment Sun did an actual release.

Red Hat: no GUI due to Debian lib refs

1999-03-25 Thread Jason Proctor

I'm running JDK 1.2 pre 1 on Red Hat 5.2, and although I haven't had any
problems whatsoever with the base JDK (great job guys!) I've so far been
locked out of any GUI type stuff by the dependence on what I assume to be
Debian-specific library references - libstdc++libc6.0-1.so.2 for example. I
couldn't find a libc6.0 on any GNU sites, just libc2.7.2.whatever to match
the compiler.

Is there a way of getting the GUI stuff to work on Red Hat?

There is a strange problem, which I don't know if it is a problem
with the Linux port of jdk1.2 or a problem in general with the
org.omg classes.

The IOR's generated from the JDK1.2 default java implementation
seem to be deriving their localhost name from the first entry
in the hosts file.

ie I had the hosts set up as

localhost 127.0.0.1 
slk-pc 152.95.76.52

The ORB then assumed (for some strange reason) that the name of this
machine is localhost, and exported this when communicating with other
orbs, obviuosly these cannot find my program, and thus fail.

chaning the hosts file to 

slk-pc 152.95.76.52
localhost 127.0.0.1 

Fixed that problem, it really shouldn't matter, as the hostname of the
machine should be gotten from the hostname api, instead of trying to
figure it from the /etc/hosts file..  I don't know where the problem 
lies, but I figure that you guys who did the port, might want to have
a look see..

any way, great job, the jdk1.2 port for linux works fine, apart from
that minor annoyance (took me a few days to figure out what was 
happening)...

(You have my sincere thanks, as you save me from having to work with
windows every day :->).

mike.

An (indirect) opportunity for Blackdown funding

1999-03-25 Thread Gary Lawrence Murphy


As the Java-Linux porting team, you seemed the best first-place
to ask:  Would you be interested in writing a major book on
Linux and Java?  Can you recommend anyone who might be interested?

I'm looking for someone who can devote several months to create a
comprehensive reference book to survey and catalog all the tips,
tricks and tools available for Linux-based Java developers.  This
should include libraries, debuggers, profiling tools, reviews of IDEs
... and also include as much subliminal guidance to encourage *good*
java programming skills as possible ;)

This project is for a major publisher, so the sales can easily be in
the tens-of-thousands of units; my own hidden agenda is to leverage
opportunies like this to help fund those who put their heart and soul
into opensource projects while simultaneously producing some much
needed quality reference material that can bring Linux to an even
wider material, and to use the opportunity to also spread some higher
values such as good OOP design and coding style.

If you're interested, or if you know someone who may be interested,
please let me know via email at [EMAIL PROTECTED]  You don't have
to be an Ernest Hemmingway, but if you know your stuff and can
put what you know into print, I'd like to hear from you.

Best of luck with 1.2
