Sharing sessions among different applications?
Is it possible to share session objects among different applications? I've tried using the shared="true" attribute in web-site.xml, but with no success. Matt Krevs said that he got it to work when the "name" attribute was the same, but that only works if you're hosting the same application on multiple parts of the site. What if soemone wants to host multiple applications across multiple hosts and want to share session information that way? - Brian Chan
RE: EJB Clustering -- ANYONE? [Urgent!]
I've worked with all of the other EJB Servers (Enhydra, JBoss, Jonas, etc). I do find the OrionServer to be far better (nice complex O-R mapping, web and app server in one, etc). For documentation, I refer to www.orionsupport.com, which is doing a great job. - Brian Chan On Thu, 22 Feb 2001, Kemp Randy-W18971 wrote: The problem is that the Orion team is great at building a product, but need some lessons on marketing it. Very few people on the list -- myself included -- say anything really negative about the product. But I (and many others) have strong reservations about the documentation. Granted, if you have worked with another EJB server, or have the patience to use a trial and error approach with the existing documentation, you can get things to work. But it is not how to really market a product. Has anyone from Orion ever looked at the Jboss (www.jboss.org) or Jonas (www.evidian.com/jonas) documentation? While it does not compare to products like Oracle or Jrun, it is getting better with each new release. I am trying to implement some helpful suggestions to Orion to increase their marketing presence, and give them some leverage over other commercial class contenders, like Unify Ewave, and the open source products (Enhydra, Openejb, Jboss, Jonas). -Original Message- From: Ray Brown [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2001 6:53 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: RE: EJB Clustering -- ANYONE? [Urgent!] Dylan, I'm a new user so bear with me...Did you check http://www.orionsupport.com ? The last entry was 15 February 2001. Read the Tuesday 13th Dec "Into the Future" entry. It has some other notes and yes, I find it strange that a company is not responding about an offer of money. I've thought about going to Sybase for their products. The documentation I've seen is strange and does not conform to what I've become to believe is a normal application server (weird names for products like "Jaguar CTS" doesn't help either ; at least Oracle has 09iAS). I have not tried clustering using Orion or any other server.

[Urgent!] Importance: High Hello, all. My company is about to drop Orion. The documentation issues, the dead website, the documentation issues, the absence of company responses, the documentation issues... We've contacted them asking where to send our money. Nothing back. In one last futile attempt to keep Orion afloat in my company a little longer, can anyone provide me with the following information? How does one do EJB Clustering with Orion?

Re: No influence on CMP 2.0 getter setter methods - a feature or abug?
You don't want to put logic in Entity beans. Entity beans should only
serve as models for the database.
Put the logic in the Session beans that will call setBalance and any other
methods you have. You can make all those methods one atomic transaction by
declaring it in the descriptor as well.

I have been reading the CMP 2.0 specification and I think it is simply
great! Still, I am a bit surprised that the bean developer has no control
over what happens when a field is set. Imagine an AccountBean, for instance:
public abstract class AccountBean extends EntityBean {
//implemented by the persistence manager
public abstract Float getBalance();
//implemented by the persistence manager
public abstract void setBalance(Float balance);
}
What if I wanted to do something useful when the balance was set? Say, I
wanted to add the account to a list of surveilled accounts if a negative
balance was set... it seems I cannot do that because the container
implements the setBalance() method for me. And I cannot just declare a
setBalance() method myself because I need the container's implementation or
I will not be able to store the balance. H... it seems this is going to
leave me with something like
public abstract class AccountBean extends EntityBean {
public abstract Float getBalance();
public abstract void setBalance(Float balance);
public void setBalanceAndDoWhatHasToBeDoneWhenYouSetBalance(Float balance)
{
//check if balance is negative and take action
...
setBalance(balance);
}
}
Now I have _no_ guarantee that nobody will accidently call the original
setBalance() method, thereby circumventing my little security system, which
was supposed to check for a negative balance. But, hey, I thought, then I
will just declare the original setBalance() as protected - unfortunately
that is not allowed by the specification.
I would r e a l l y like to hear from anybody who knows a solution to this.
Any comments would be most welcomed.
