Context Root.

2001-06-11 Thread bchoi



I'd like to ask a trival question.

How is the context-root tag in the 
META-INF/applications.xml file used ? I initially thought it was used to refer 
to the website url (based on the Reference Implementation's deployment) but that 
has apparently been covered by orion's own deployment settings in 
config/default-web-site.xml. Of all the applications I've deployed on orion, 
that tag has never seemed to be put into effect. What is it used for then 
?


SV: Dynamic finders

2001-06-11 Thread Magnus Rydin
Title: SV: Dynamic finders





Yes.
If you want to go pure, you could do something like:
a) get them all and then filter them in your code
b) get the largest hit first, then filter them with the collections returned by your other finders (requires one finder per dynamic value of original query). This filterting should probably be located in a Session bean.

c) generate finder methods for all possible queries and have a Session bean select the one you want

ORDER BY clause in finder-method query

2001-06-11 Thread Robert Hargreaves

Has anyone else noticed that if you now put an ORDER BY clause in the finder
method query, it is totally ignored. We've just gone from Orion 1.3.8  where
it worked fine, to 1.5.2 where it no longer works. 

There was some discussion back in March (see
http://www.mail-archive.com/orion-interest@orionserver.com/msg11816.html)
that putting ORDER BY clauses into the finder-method query was futile
because (quote):

The reason it has worked for you so far is because your container has used
an instance of java.util.ArrayList/LinkedList, which indeed does guarantee
order. But CMP Entity EJB's finder methods do not return java.util.List's!
They return java.util.Collection. Your functionality will break when the
container changes it's implementation.

The question is, have the Orion team changed the implementation and
therefore removed what I consider to be a quite powerful feature of CMP
finder methods?

There has been some discussions on session timeouts indicating that the 
timeout property should be changed from the default value 1800 to any 
other value (in seconds) in the orion-ejb-jar.xml file. I have tried this 
(values 1, 10 and 100 and lots of other things) but non of my stateful

Does anyone have a clue why this could be? Is there another setting to

 Try dealing with facts.  Six months ago, Karl stated they were hiring more
 people.  There have been several threads about their lack of support since
 then.  They still have only hired, maybe, a few (one?) additional
 employees.  They seem to have no interest in collecting for production
 licenses.  Out of the blue comes a deal with Oracle and they don't even
 announce it on the site.

 Check it out for yourself.  His name is Mike Birch.  He's retired US Navy
 and now an FBI cryptographer.  He lives in Glen Bernie, MD, just outside
 Baltimore.  You want his phone number?  He was to testify in California,
 just before the Unabomber confessed.  (see
 http://www.cnn.com/US/9712/27/unabomb.diary/)  Mike's married to Florence
 Erolin, my wife's sister.  I named our corporation Erolin, Inc after
 their family name.  I assure you, the US intelligence community monitors
 the web constantly, and not just for viruses.  They do tap phones.  They do
 forge documents, etc, etc etc.
 
 From 1986 to the early 90's, I held a Top Secret SBI clearance in the US
 Air Force and was a security manager and foreign disclosure officer.  When
 I managed the sale of $300M of F-16 jet engines to Egypt, there was a
 sizeable fund (millions) for bribes.  I've talked to people in military
 intelligence who monitor phones for a living.  What are your credentials,
 dumbass?
 
 I also have contacts in the World Bank.  Ever hear of them?  Are you stupid
 enough to think that they just give out charity loans to struggling
countries?
 
 My wife dated a CIA employee overseas who worked at a front company in her
 country.  His job was to psychologically evaluate returning field agents.
 I wonder why they might need psychological help?
 
 Are you suggesting that the US intelligence community (CIA, FBI and NSA)
 are not monitoring Web communications?  You probably think they don't fly
 spy planes near China, send classified satellites up on the space shuttle,
 have the ability to tell you what kind of cigarette you're smoking from a
 satellite 90 miles above you, destroy the economies of countries, etc.
 Surprise!  They've been doing that and more for many years.  
 
 You probably don't believe corporate espionage exists, either.
 
 Seriously, smartass, I'd like a 'yes' or 'no' answer from you: do you

Hani


In spite of your personal attacks on my mental condition, I will try one
more time to deal with facts and give yet another summary.  

Before doing so, let me state that yesterday I made a third attempt to post
my response to Karl.  I also sent it directly to Mike Cannon-Brookes asking
him to post it.  So, three times now I've tried.  Let me ask you and the
group, how many times must I try and fail to post that message before you
will believe that it's getting blocked?  Seriously, just pick a number and
I'll try that many times.

Here's the summary:
- 6 months ago (Dec 7), Karl stated, resources will initially be spent
more on building the organization and hiring the right people than would be
necessary if we didn't make the expansion.

- Since then, there have been several threads about lack of support:
www.orionserver.com down again (Dec 13), What's going on with Orion?
(Jan 4), Is the List alive? (Jan 4), Any news from Orion yet?? (Jan
15), Orion Team Needs New List Software (Mar 14), Impossible getting the
attention of the orion (support) team. Are they still around? (Mar 19),
Is the list dead? (Apr 25)

- Since then, hiring the right people has not occurred.

- On Apr 18, Randy Kemp suggested Ironflare contact MySQL, which is also in
Sweden (A Swedish Idea).  Like me, Randy was ridiculed by people, like
Hani, who used terms such as bizarre, this whole ridiculous discussion
and fairy tale.

- On Apr 23, I reported a production licensing violation directly to Karl.
He did not respond.

- On Apr 24, I reported the production licensing violation to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  Karl responded, stating, We'll check into it.

- On May 8, I asked Karl for a status on the licensing violation, but to
date, have gotten no response.

- On Jun 6, Bryan Young posted the following to this group: I just read
about Orion being used as the base code for their 9i app server.

- On Jun 6, I responded, refering to the A Swedish Idea thread and
stating, I TOLD YOU SO.  I also stated, I admire the way they've managed
to build a decent product without having to hire testers.

- On Jun 7, the day after my post, Karl responded via orion-interest,
stating, We've never been in it for the money, but that doesn't mean that
you can survive in this society forever without having any money.

- On Jun 7, I tried to respond to Karl via orion-interest.

- On Jun 8, I made my second attempt to respond to Karl via orion-interest.

- On Jun 10, I made my third attempt to respond to Karl via orion-interest.

- I have tried three times to post my response to Karl, and been called
mentally unstable for suggesting that they might be blocking negative
comments.

- Neither Ironflare nor Oracle have ever really announced their
relationship.  It's not announced at www.orionserver.com.  Go to
http://www.oracle.com and look at their JavaOne pages and search for
Orion.  It's buried in the user manual, but not announced.

So, my conclusions are:

- Ironflare/Evermind has not hired testers or other staff as promised 6
months ago.  They don't have to, because the user community does all of
that (and more) for them.

- Ironflare is in it, at least in part, for big money; otherwise, they
would have collected from the production license violator.

- Ironflare will leave you hanging if you report license violations.

- Ironflare may be censoring messages.

I can't lay it out much better than that.

So, attack one of these facts and quit challenging my mental condition.  

From the asylum,
Jay






Re: Simple Clustering Question

2001-06-11 Thread Oisin Kim

Hello All, 

I just thought I'd send this to explain to people who are having trouble 
understanding how to set up the default web app clustering and exactly how a 
broadcast IP is set up.
I am a newbie to Orion Server and got 4 machines to act as a cluster after 
some advice from Lachezar!

I'd like to thank Lachezar and Juan and for their help on the Orion interest 
mailing list.

Before You Start The Servers.
You need to have a broadcast network address for all the machines on your 
cluster,
this could mean having to have an extra network card configured for that 
broadcast IP address or configuring you network card to listen to a broadcast 
ip address in addition to the hosts ip. The default broadcast ip for Orion is 
230.0.0.1, so you'll need to change the setting in 
orion/application-deployments/default/defaultWebApp/orion-web.xml if you want 
to use a different broadcast ip address and port number.

Then you can follow the document:

Enabling Web-Clustering in Orion

Setting up the server

1. Install orion and start it.

2. Edit the orion/application-deployments/default/defaultWebApp/orion-web.xml

1. Go to http://box1/servlet/SessionServlet. Reload a few times.

Hi.

That is not true.
Multicast is a network service. It is of type send-on-receive-anyone.
 That means, that one packet is send and it is received by anyone, listening
 to that multicast IP/PORT. If you have an Ethernet, than you have the
 Multicast ability. Routing multicast packets is a different question.
 Having one, or more Ethernet networks, connected with dumb equipment
 (HUBs, SWITHCHes, REPEATERs) also gives the multicast routing. Internet
 multicast routings is somehow more complicated.
It is enough to say, that if you have a single dumb ethernet connection
 between your boxes is enough for the Orion multicast clustering to work. Of
 course all the boxes have to be configured to use one and the same
 Multicast IP and one and the same PORT. That's it.

   Hi,
  
   I've spent the last while trying to get clustering to work
   with orion server
   1.5.2 without success. First I tried to follow the instructions at
   http-clustering-howto.html from the documentation, it said:
   Setting up the server
  
   1. Install orion and start it.
  
   2. Edit the
   orion/application-deployments/default/defaultWebApp/orion-web.xml
   file and add:
   cluster-config /
  
   3. Repeat 1 and 2 for another (or more) box(es).
  
   But when I tried to connect to the server, the server let me
   know that the
   file /orion/default-web-app/WEB-INF/web.xml hadn't got the tag
   distributable/ in it.
  
   I then added this tag to all servers
   /orion/default-web-app/WEB-INF/web.xml
   file in the cluster, and tried again, this time they actually ran the
   SessionServlet but as if they were being run individually,
   i.e. the session
   wasn't shared as it was supposed to be, I did remember to append
   ;jsessionid=ID YOU GET ON YOUR BOX1 SCREEN
   to it and tried both leaving the angle brackets in and out.
  
   I know I must be doing some thing wrong but I can't find it,
   I'd really
   appreciate some help.
  
   I noticed in the http-clustering.html that in the clustering
   it mentions the
   default for multicast host/ip to transmit and receive cluster
   data on is
   230.0.0.1, port number 9127, does this mean I have to have a
   network card
   listening on this IP/port?
  
   What exactly is a network with operational multicast
   facilities, is plain
   100Mbs ethernet running on linux OK?

 hope somebody will be able to help me with.

 I have some text files on my site that are part of a knowledge base.
 These files contain only ASCII characters, the excute permissions are not

 these files with an HTTP content type set to application/octet-stream.
 Apache delivers these same files with a content type of text/plain.  The
 latter is preferable to me as it allows browsers to render the files.  Is

RE: Oracle deal gag... but on a different note.

2001-06-11 Thread Nathan Phelps

On a different note concerning the Oracle deal:

I wasn't at JavaOne, but I've been reading all about it on the web.  One
news story that I've seen a lot about is Larry Ellison and Bill Coleman's
little fight.  Oracle has put Orion in the big leagues... I mean, Karl could
have produced all sorts of documentation that said Orion is better then
Weblogic, but BEA would have paid it no attention.  However, when Oracle
says Oracle is better then Weblogic, BEA certainly takes notice!

I consider this a great victory for Ironflare, the J2EE community, and every
single young person hacking away in his garage.  This proves it--a few
talented and committed developers can accomplish anything they set their
minds too.  I think Larry Ellison said it best, when, at JavaOne, he said
We have thrown out literally all of our old Java code.  The reason we threw
away all of our old J2EE implementations is we had to build a high
performance, scaleable version of J2EE. We think that this is a huge
breakthrough for the entire Java community because it addresses the single
biggest threat to Java, which is performance.

And we, all of us on this list, know what Larry Ellison was really saying...

We replaced all our old Java code with the code from a small Swedish
company called Ironflare.  The reason we threw away all of our old J2EE
implementations was that, plain and simple, these two Swedish guys are
studs, and had managed to build a high performance, scaleable version of
J2EE when we had largely failed internally.  We think that this is a huge
breakthrough for the entire Java community because it addresses the single
biggest threat to Java, which is performance.

Title: RE: How do i cache a JSP on the proxy?



what about

%

 if ( 
(System.currentTimeMillis()/1000) % 15 
)
  counter = 0 
;
%

 That is, you first make sure 
that the time is rounded down to closest second and see if that is divisable by 
15, and then resetting counter

Or did I completely misunderstand you?

  Yes. Oscache provides a proxy independent caching 
  solution. This is nice and once can have programtically control over the 
  caching. The only drawback(or good for some one) in the current 
  implementation is all caching is memory based. All the caching is done 
  in memory and optionally file.

Re: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError;

2001-06-11 Thread Johan Fredriksson

instead of typing

java -jar orion.jar

at the command line to start orion, you could experiment with

java -Xms128m -Xmx256m -jar orion.jar

This increases the heap size. The 128 is the initial size, the 256 is the
maximum size.

The first number could be something like current free memory, and the second
one could be something like total memory.

  Hi ,
 
  We get java.lang.OutOfMemoryError; on production server
  frequetly.I
  know this problem was discussed in this list before. I
  implemented all the
  sugestions in this mailing list but still the error keeps on
  coming .I would
  like to know the following
 
  1) As an answer to the above mentioned problem I saw a
  sugestion in
  this mailing list to limit the # of instances by adding max-instances
  attribute to orion-ejb-jar.xml which would force orion to
  passivate less
  used beans.I downloaded orion 1.5.2 and set the same.But observed that
  passivation is never called. Is there a way to make sure that orion
  passivates beans  which are not used .
 
  2) Some people have mentioned increasing the memory.
  Has any body
  tried this solution and i would like to know whether the problem got
  solved.How can I increase the memory ?


 first, by hardware (buy some chips), secondly, by specifying a
 minimun/maximun heap size of the JVM when you invoke it
 these are the ones I use (W2K, Sun's JVM 1.3.0)

 -Xms128m (minimun heap size 128 MB)
 -Xmx320m (maximun heap size 320 MB)


 
  3)Has anybody solved this problem ?

 No. There´s always a limit to the amount of memory available on any given
 system ;-)
 Let's hope that(buggy orion code) gets fixed soon- don't forget to cast
your
 vote on Bugzilla, that is, if vote casting is finally enabled

 
  Any sugestions

 Hi,

 I'm having two problems with Orion (1.4.5) on Solaris 8 with JDK 1.3.1

 a) I'm unable to set the process into the background. As soon as I log
off from the SSH session the Orion process gets killed.
Startup is done by calling:
nohup java -server -jar -Xconcurrentio -Xms128m -Xmx384m orion.jar -out
$ORION_SERVER/log/server-out.log -err $ORION_SERVER/log/server-err.log



Check orionsupport.com, or use bash.

 b) All German specific vocales (Umlaute) are shown as a ? only.


The shell you are running orion under has to have german language enabled.

If you can type a double s at the prompt, then it should be set up
correctly.


 Maybe someone has some ideas ?

 We've all tried presenting the facts to you regarding the Oracle deal,
but
 all we seem to be getting in respose is a descent into your own personal
 madness. How about summing up the problems you have in a few short lines
 that won't cause cynics like me to laugh or respond so unpleasantly?
 
 Hani
 

 In spite of your personal attacks on my mental condition, I will try one
 more time to deal with facts and give yet another summary.

 Before doing so, let me state that yesterday I made a third attempt to
post
 my response to Karl.  I also sent it directly to Mike Cannon-Brookes
asking
 him to post it.  So, three times now I've tried.  Let me ask you and the
 group, how many times must I try and fail to post that message before you
 will believe that it's getting blocked?  Seriously, just pick a number and
 I'll try that many times.

 Here's the summary:
 - 6 months ago (Dec 7), Karl stated, resources will initially be spent
 more on building the organization and hiring the right people than would
be
 necessary if we didn't make the expansion.

 - Since then, there have been several threads about lack of support:
 www.orionserver.com down again (Dec 13), What's going on with Orion?
 (Jan 4), Is the List alive? (Jan 4), Any news from Orion yet?? (Jan
 15), Orion Team Needs New List Software (Mar 14), Impossible getting
the
 attention of the orion (support) team. Are they still around? (Mar 19),
 Is the list dead? (Apr 25)

 - Since then, hiring the right people has not occurred.

 - On Apr 18, Randy Kemp suggested Ironflare contact MySQL, which is also
in
 Sweden (A Swedish Idea).  Like me, Randy was ridiculed by people, like
 Hani, who used terms such as bizarre, this whole ridiculous discussion
 and fairy tale.

 - On Apr 23, I reported a production licensing violation directly to Karl.
 He did not respond.

 - On Apr 24, I reported the production licensing violation to
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Karl responded, stating, We'll check into it.

 - On May 8, I asked Karl for a status on the licensing violation, but to
 date, have gotten no response.

 - On Jun 6, Bryan Young posted the following to this group: I just read
 about Orion being used as the base code for their 9i app server.

 - On Jun 6, I responded, refering to the A Swedish Idea thread and
 stating, I TOLD YOU SO.  I also stated, I admire the way they've
managed
 to build a decent product without having to hire testers.

 - On Jun 7, the day after my post, Karl responded via orion-interest,
 stating, We've never been in it for the money, but that doesn't mean that
 you can survive in this society forever without having any money.

 - On Jun 7, I tried to respond to Karl via orion-interest.

 - On Jun 8, I made my second attempt to respond to Karl via
orion-interest.

 - On Jun 10, I made my third attempt to respond to Karl via
orion-interest.

 - I have tried three times to post my response to Karl, and been called
 mentally unstable for suggesting that they might be blocking negative
 comments.

 - Neither Ironflare nor Oracle have ever really announced their
 relationship.  It's not announced at www.orionserver.com.  Go to
 http://www.oracle.com and look at their JavaOne pages and search for
 Orion.  It's buried in the user manual, but not announced.

 So, my conclusions are:

 - Ironflare/Evermind has not hired testers or other staff as promised 6
 months ago.  They don't have to, because the user community does all of
 that (and more) for them.

 - Ironflare is in it, at least in part, for big money; otherwise, they
 would have collected from the production license violator.

 - Ironflare will leave you hanging if you report license violations.

 - Ironflare may be censoring messages.

 I can't lay it out much better than that.

 So, attack one of these facts and quit challenging my mental condition.

 From the asylum,
 Jay







Re: JMS question: How to connect to a remote host

2001-06-11 Thread Jay Armstrong

Hani,

Try again, the mailing list software was down for a couple of days last
week(See Jay, other people lost emails too!)

Hani
I don't think this explains why Karl failed to check  out the license
violation I reported, to respond to my request for an update on that, or
why my three attempts (June 7, 8, and 10) to respond to Karl on the Oracle
deal have not shown up.

Would you agree that it's possible for both intentional and unintentional
blocking to occur?

Threads like Orion Team Needs New List Software (Mar 14), almost 3 months
ago, apparently have not resulted in a working list.  If Orion is
distributed with a demo news server, how can they not be able to create one
that works on their own?  

They said they would hire additional staff, but they didn't.  If the list
server is really the problem, then wouldn't additional staff or a volunteer
from the interest group could have solved this long ago?

Regarding my sanity and my response to Jeff Schnitzer, I was very pissed
off and I forgot that what is commonly known in the intelligence community
may seem over the top to private citizens.  Again, I apologize to the
group and ask forgiveness for losing my temper.

I do not believe that Karl and Magnus are part of some ridiculous
conspiracy.  I think they've made some fabulous business decisions, but
also some incredibly stupid ones (like not fulfilling their pledge to hire
more staff or supporting me when I reported a license violation).  

The real purpose of my original message was to get them to acknowledge the
free labor they've gotten from the orion community, and to have them
encourage Oracle to tap into that (paid, not for free).  What's wrong with
that?

I confess that I also wanted some vindication for my defense of Randy
Kemp's A Swedish Idea suggestion, in which I suggested that Karl and
Magnus were not just angelic geeks in computer heaven -- they have a profit
motive.  I see nothing wrong with that.  Is there something wrong with me
pointing that out?

The discussion went off course when I suggested that my response to Saint
Karl may have been blocked (i.e., censored).  I will apologize immediately
and publicly when any one of my three attempts to post that response goes
through.

I did not publicly discuss the license violation until my sanity and
credibility was publicly challenged.

So, you and Jeff touched a raw nerve with me.  I'd really like for you both
to lay off the mental stability cracks.

RE: Oracle deal gag... but on a different note.

Nathan,

A lot of what you're saying is true.  I acknowledge that Orion is
relatively fast and has some great features (like auto-reconfigure), but I
recall that Orion used to claim that it was the fastest J2EE product (or
something like that), then had to remove that claim from the
orionserver.com site (I think BEA challenged the claim).  

Also, one of the first questions I get asked when recommending software for
clients is about support.  It's probably the primary reason why major
systems do not rely on open products, or semi-open products like Orion.

Yes, Karl and Magnus built a fabulous product, but where's the support
(documentation, help desk, etc)?

I am not applauding the support for WebLogic, WebsFear, IPlanit, etc, but
if I report a problem with WebLogic to BEA, eventually it will filter to
the gurus, who will respond (usually they ask for a reconfigure, restart,
and a dump).  

Who will handle this for Orion/Oracle?  Karl and Magnus?  They rarely
respond now, so don't you think they could get even more overwhelmed?

Please, point me to where Ellison talked about support.

 After my criticism, subsequent messages from others on the original thread

 complimentary of the deal, and/or tried to change the subject.  Seems odd
 to me that not one, single critical comment about the most important
 business deal in Orion Server's history came after mine, unless the thread
 was being censored.

Good thing we've never heard of paranoia. Oops, now we have.

 I would point out one of Karl's statements in his reply to me: The purpose
 of the orion-interest has always been to promote the exchange of
 experiences and knowledge between our users, not as a channel to
 communicate with us.

 I interpret the statement above to be a veiled warning that big brother is
 watching and not to criticize Ironflare via orion-interest.  

Dadgum, there's that paranoia thing again. If you've read the mailing list
archives, you'll see plenty of criticism of Ironflare, most of it
deserved, and none of it censored that I'm aware of. And I've even sent
some of it. As far as Karl's statement... it seems like you've an agenda,
and you're using a National Enquirer-like ability to read between
lines. Hi, how are you doing is not I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! and
Orion-interest is a sharing area between users, not a channel to
communicate with us is not We hate everything you say that we don't
agree with, and will censor it.

 Don't you also find it odd that Ironflare did not make this announcement?
 Rather, it came from Bryan Young's discovery after trying oc4j.  My guess
 is that Ironflare, possibly under orders from Oracle, wanted to keep this
 quiet and is now attempting damage control.

Damage control? Why? What damage, exactly has been caused? Ironflare
hasn't been sold; neither has Orion. The only damage I see is possibly
between a few sets of ears. As far as I can tell, this is ALL good for
Ironflare; people who want real J2EE and want a real company backing it
can buy OC4J and get the best of both worlds - support and quality. (Oh
no, what a horrifying thought, eh?) and people who want to stick with
pure Orion (i.e., those of us who don't want to run Oracle, or don't
need Oracle's support layer) can stick with what we have.

What horror.

 If it's a list problem, okay, but how can we possibly know?  Time will
 tell, though it could also be that open discussions are not and have never
 been allowed in this interest group.

Man, you ARE paranoid.

Re: Oracle deal gag

 So, my conclusions are:

 - Ironflare/Evermind has not hired testers or other staff as promised 6
 months ago.  They don't have to, because the user community does all of
 that (and more) for them.

Hiring testers for the sake of hiring testers (not a knock on testers)is hit-and-miss 
anyway, but
suppose they did hire testers? I suspect that many folks on this list would still test 
orion just
as rigourously as they do now.  

I get paid regardless of whether I test Orion. I test Orion because I like it. If, by 
testing
Orion I can get a better product, then I will test Orion. I don't HAVE to use Orion. I 
WANT to use
it.

Do you like the product?





 - Ironflare is in it, at least in part, for big money; otherwise, they
 would have collected from the production license violator.


Every company is in it, to one degree or another, for the money. My consultancy is in 
it for the
money - but we started it because we wanted to do our work OUR way which we now do. 
The money just
happens to go along with it. Ironflare wanted to write an application server and that 
was only
possible, in their view, by starting their own company. They need money, too, as Karl 
explained.
If Oracle came to my company and said Hey, we'd like to license some of that software 
you've been
writing for a nice sum of cash - I would say You Bet!. What's wrong with that? 
Nothing!



 - Ironflare will leave you hanging if you report license violations.


When you reported the license violations, what was Ironflare supposed to do? I don't 
know the
nature of how you found the violations or who is doing the violating, but it seems to 
me that once
you report it, then you would be finished with your task. 


 - Ironflare may be censoring messages.


You lay out your facts above - but given other experiences with this list (I briefly 
mention mine
in a previous posting that quite frankly hasn't come through yet) I can't draw the same
conclusions. Sorry.




 I can't lay it out much better than that.

 So, attack one of these facts and quit challenging my mental condition.

RE: Oracle deal gag... but on a different note.

2001-06-11 Thread Ray Harrison

If I recall correctly, BEA did not challenge them (Ironflare/Evermind)with any numbers 
of their
own, they just wanted them to remove their BEA reference. That would have appeared to 
have been
just an action by BEA spin doctors and the legal department. So I will be interested 
when Oracle
runs its J2EE container (i.e. Orion) vs BEA. 

I suspect, by the way, that Oracle will handle its users concerns. They probably have 
a number of
developers who are up-to-snuff on Orion. It remains to be seen, but if a company wants 
a
name-brand, investor-friendly product, I would happily recomend they use Oracle over 
BEA or WAS -
or that they at least bring them in for the running.

I'm posting this as a favor to Jay Amstrong

Karl,

Thanks for responding.  This is already a long message, so I'll try to
keep it short.

I've been wrong before and, if that's the case now, then please forgive
me.  Lest anyone think I'm out to bash Orion, please refer to my vigorous
and lengthy defense of Orion (e.g., Subject: Re: SV: Not authorized to
view this page 16Feb2001).

There have been several threads on orion-interest about lack of response
from Evermind/Ironflare.  Topics like Anyone heard from evermind? didn't
appear without reason.  Your response to that particular thread explained
the transition from Evermind to Ironflare, which, in turn, spawned many
concerns about the future of Orion (pricing, etc).  Still, there were other
subsequent threads about lack of response, especially regarding bug fixes.

Several weeks ago, I notified you directly of an unauthorized production
user.  There was very little interest.  In fact, there has been no follow
up to let me know whether or not anyone even verified it.  I assumed that
there was so little interest in a few $1,500 production licenses because
Ironflare was too busy trying to sign with Oracle.  

I also recently requested comments from you and Magnus for a live web
presentation I am doing next week about J2EE on a budget.  Again, no response.

Since we don't know the details of the deal with Oracle, it's hard for me
to comment on the value of the deal.  What we do know is that other J2EE
products  (e.g., WebLogic, WebSphere, IPlanet, etc) sell for upwards of
$10,000 per CPU.

In the past, on this site, I have stated that I hope you an Magnus become
millionaires.  I'm not asking now, nor will I ever ask, how many licenses
Ironflare has sold or the specifics of the contract with Oracle.  That's
your business.  But I do know what Oracle's competitors charge, and
Ironflare's possible revenue from this is theoretically enormous.  Again,
I'm happy for you.

The reaction I've gotten on this agreement from other
Orion users is that they're very happy about it, and
You may wish to consider that many Orion users are trying to learn J2EE,
have absolutely no experience with big business, etc are fearful of being
banned from this and the Orion site.

In a sense, I'm happy, too.  Like many users, I am concerned about the
future of Orion.  I doubt Ironflare has an army of lawyers or a mountain of
cash -- Oracle does.  It may be increasingly difficult to allow Orion to be
free for development, because Oracle's long-term business strategy is
probably not to allow that.  There is no getting around the fact that
comments from users to this site have helped refine a product that is now
directly benefitting a Fortune 50 company.

I am definitely happy for you and Magnus.  I've gained a lot more from
Orion than I've given.  

I am somewhat encouraged by your comments, though still doubtful about the
future.  Maybe I'm just too cynical.  Maybe I've dealt with too many big
companies.

loadbalancer

2001-06-11 Thread elephantwalker

Group,


I am still trying to get a good loadbalancer  situation going. I have a
loadbalancer talking to a single cluster, and all is well. However, the
normal logging won't work for now, since the loadbalancer doesn't forward
the ip address of the requester. Karl also indicates that under a heavy
load, the loadbalancer may not respond well.

I would like to pursue another loadbalancer solution, but I want to use the
clustering solution from orion.

Has anybody used another loadbalancer with an orion cluster? If so, what are
you using? How did you get the orion clustering to work with an external
loadbalancer?

Joseph,

Generally, I agree, but...

 I am not applauding the support for WebLogic, WebsFear, IPlanit, etc, but
 if I report a problem with WebLogic to BEA, eventually it will filter to
 the gurus, who will respond (usually they ask for a reconfigure, restart,

And usually if people know your problem, they'll get to it here, too.

Agree.  But most major customers avoid semi-open products because of the
perception (right or wrong) that they can't purchase support, even if they
have money to burn.  

I have argued that the orion-interest response is generally more accurate
(than BEA, IBM  Sun) because the big players must hide their embarassing
flaws from the competition.  This is why I believe Oracle MAY (not for
sure! No flames please!) put pressure on Ironflare to be less forthcoming

No, BEA didn't challenge the claim. BEA refuses anyone (IBM, etc.) to
publish performance specs for comparison purposes. The result was that
Orion couldn't say We did this in X, and BEA did it in Y. Orion is
hardly unique in this.

 Also, one of the first questions I get asked when recommending software for

I've done well without it.

 if I report a problem with WebLogic to BEA, eventually it will filter to

 Karl,
 
 Thanks for responding.  This is already a long message, so I'll try to
 keep it short.
 
 I've been wrong before and, if that's the case now, then please forgive
 me.  Lest anyone think I'm out to bash Orion, please refer to my vigorous
 and lengthy defense of Orion (e.g., Subject: Re: SV: Not authorized to
 view this page 16Feb2001).
 
 There have been several threads on orion-interest about lack of response
 from Evermind/Ironflare.  Topics like Anyone heard from evermind? didn't
 appear without reason.  Your response to that particular thread explained
 the transition from Evermind to Ironflare, which, in turn, spawned many
 concerns about the future of Orion (pricing, etc).  Still, there were other
 subsequent threads about lack of response, especially regarding bug fixes.
 
 Several weeks ago, I notified you directly of an unauthorized production
 user.  There was very little interest.  In fact, there has been no follow
 up to let me know whether or not anyone even verified it.  I assumed that
 there was so little interest in a few $1,500 production licenses because
 Ironflare was too busy trying to sign with Oracle.  
 
 I also recently requested comments from you and Magnus for a live web
 presentation I am doing next week about J2EE on a budget.  Again, no
response.
 
 Since we don't know the details of the deal with Oracle, it's hard for me
 to comment on the value of the deal.  What we do know is that other J2EE
 products  (e.g., WebLogic, WebSphere, IPlanet, etc) sell for upwards of
 $10,000 per CPU.
 
 In the past, on this site, I have stated that I hope you an Magnus become
 millionaires.  I'm not asking now, nor will I ever ask, how many licenses
 Ironflare has sold or the specifics of the contract with Oracle.  That's
 your business.  But I do know what Oracle's competitors charge, and
 Ironflare's possible revenue from this is theoretically enormous.  Again,
 I'm happy for you.
 
 The reaction I've gotten on this agreement from other
 Orion users is that they're very happy about it, and
 You may wish to consider that many Orion users are trying to learn J2EE,
 have absolutely no experience with big business, etc are fearful of being
 banned from this and the Orion site.
 
 In a sense, I'm happy, too.  Like many users, I am concerned about the
 future of Orion.  I doubt Ironflare has an army of lawyers or a mountain of
 cash -- Oracle does.  It may be increasingly difficult to allow Orion to be
 free for development, because Oracle's long-term business strategy is
 probably not to allow that.  There is no getting around the fact that
 comments from users to this site have helped refine a product that is now
 directly benefitting a Fortune 50 company.
 
 I am definitely happy for you and Magnus.  I've gained a lot more from
 Orion than I've given.  
 
 I am somewhat encouraged by your comments, though still doubtful about the
 future.  Maybe I'm just too cynical.  Maybe I've dealt with too many big
 companies.

Orion Newbie Question about frontend with Apache and disabling the Orion listener

2001-06-11 Thread Don Gaul








Someone asked me the other day when were discussing
Orion and Oracle IAS9i/OC4J whether you could use an Apache front end and the
answer is well documented, on the Orion (and/or Orionserver) web site as well
as in the Oracle OC4J documentation, as YES.



Then I was asked 



Can I guarantee that all web traffic to the
web server is ONLY going through the Apache front-end and not doing an
end-around by using the Orion listener as a back door? Im assuming he wanted to disable the
Orion listener to force the Apache front end as the sole point of contact



Ive checked the Orion and Orionserver web
sites, as well as the Oracle OC4J doc, and I cant find how to do this 



Either I missed it (VERY probably the case)
or its not possible 



Any advice on how to do this would be
appreciated.









By the way 



Im very pleased that Oracle has identified
this outstanding product exists and managed to persuade the Ironflare developers
to let Oracle acquire the right to incorporate it into IAS9i. 



I missed Java One. Does anyone have a web site where this quote

Security bug with application clients?

2001-06-11 Thread Michael Jara



Hi,

I'm trying to get the security portion of a project 
working, in which a java client connects to a stateless session beanafter 
login. As far as I can tell, Orion doesn't seem to properly pass around 
principal objects in stateless session beans.

This is the sequence that my test client 
runs:

1. Prompt user for user ID  
password
2. Create an InitialContext containing the user ID 
and password (as "java.naming.security.principal" and 
"java.naming.security.credentials", respectively.)
3. Look up the stateless session bean's 
home
4. home.create() the stateless session 
bean

So far, so good. The stateless session bean 
correctly identifies the user ID within its session context's principal. 
Now I clean things up and repeat the process:

5. remove() the stateless session bean
6. close() the InitialContext (just in case... I 
even went so far as to remove all of its environment properties.)
7. Log on again: prompt for a different user ID 
 password
8. Create a newinitial context as in step 
2.
9. Look up the stateless session bean's 
home
10. home.create() the stateless session 
bean

This is where things go wrong. I get the 
principal out of the stateless session bean's session context, which indicates 
that I'm logged in as the first user! The problem is that the bean is 
never calling "setSessionContext" on the second creation. If I re-start 
the client however, it works correctly.

The only way I can think of to get around this is 
to use a stateful session bean instead... I don't like that, because I 
don't need to maintain state! Has anyone else encountered this 
problem? Found a solution?

Thanks,
Mike

RE: Security bug with application clients?

2001-06-11 Thread elephantwalker



its in 
the "clean things up" step that something went wrong. 

You 
need to do a session.invalidate(), and then create a new guest session with a 
session.create("true"). Here is the bit in the RequestProcessor of the 
BluePrint (petstore):

 if (event 
instanceof LogoutEvent) 
{ 
...whatever 
... 
session.invalidate();
  
whatever 
 
HttpSession validSession = req.getSession(true); 
  
...whatever ...
 }

This 
is usually done in a servlet. I would do the same thing here. Instead of using 
the client -  slsb - whatever ... use client - servlet - slsb 
- whatever bean. This way, you can abstract whatever login/logout and 
session control directly with the servlet, and you also abstract instancing the 
slsb - whatever bean. The servlet can also be loadbalanced (the slsb can't 
be) so if you want failover capability, you get it.

 I have just started to play around with the Orion server and am very

 and footprint are great.  I have, however, noticed one ideosyncracy that I
 hope somebody will be able to help me with.

 I have some text files on my site that are part of a knowledge base.
 These files contain only ASCII characters, the excute permissions are not
 set, and the files do not have an extension.  The Orion server delivers
 these files with an HTTP content type set to application/octet-stream.
 Apache delivers these same files with a content type of text/plain.  The
 latter is preferable to me as it allows browsers to render the files.  Is
 there any way to change the content type that Orion uses to deliver these
 files?

 Please note that changing the files (either by converting them to html or
 adding a file extension) is not really an option.
