Re: Orion on Unix (again)
Yes we had this problem also. I wasn't able to figure out why in the short time frame we had, 1hr and it doesn't happen on our solaris boxes only the development box our client had set up. So my assumption is it's some kind of paranoid security setting on Solaris. We got around it by not exiting, just killing the terminal. Not the solution I'd prefer, but it seemed to work. -Lkb On Tue, 9 Jan 2001, Sach Jobb wrote: First of all, don't ever use telnet for anything. It's a clear text protocol and anyone snooping the line can easily snag your username and password. The suitable replacement for telnet (actually all rsh services) is SSH (secure shell) which uses encrypted sessions, and is thus difficult to monitor and crack. For moving files between machines you can use scp (secure copy) or sftp (secure ftp), because, ftp is also a clear text protocol. I use OpenSSH (http://www.openssh.com/) because it's opensource and made by paranoid BSD people. OpenSSH will require OpenSSL (http://www.openssl.org/) which is also open source. There _might_ be binaries out there for solaris but more likely you will have to compile them yourself. A usefull site is (http://www.sunfreeware.com/) as they have alot of binaries for solaris.

I tried to use "nohup java -jar orion.jar" but this doesn't help. I think the question above is the same as to keep the orion running even after the shell that you use to start up the orion process has terminated. Is it possible to run orion as a daemon process?

Re: Adding a site? - (2nd Post)
You are just running a web application not a full j2ee application, so you have to add an entry into config/application.xml which is the default application for orion. all you have to do is make an entry that looks like: web-module id="TestSite" path="../applications/TestSite" / *This is assuming that your testsite is in a directory in $ORION/applications called 'TestSite' you don't need the entry in default-web-app. or the web-app directive in TestSite.xml all you need to set in TestSite.xml is default-web-app application="default" name="TestSite" / Your server.xml setting looks ok.

That might be your problem, Verisign doesn't have a 128bit Javasoft key.

One of our developers also had several long talks with their tech support explaining the concept of DNS, hostnames, etc. They do have a 128bit Netscape key, so you might try that, we were able to get it to work.

RE: HARDWARE FOR J2EE apps
As far as DB redundancy, I have heard that it is possible to have two boxes using a shared RAID that holds the data.

Ah. Deja Vu. :-) I'm involved with a startup company here in Sweden, and considering Orion as app server we are also contemplating what non-arm-and-a-leg-spending ways there are to enable a database for failover and load-balancing functionality. We are looking at either PostgreSQL, InterBase, SAP-DB or MySQL (yeah, I know) as our database. We have not seen any currently freely available solutions for failover for either of those (anybody?). So, we are thinking about implementing something by ourselves. Nothing definite so far, but: - The synchronizing of data will be done on the application-level, not by the database servers themselves. See below. - We'll avoid numeric sequences for record keys to make this easier. We will implement some unique key-generation scheme based on whatever is needed to make keys unique but still not rely on strict monotone numeric sequences or similar ( md5(table_name+timestamp()), perhaps? ). - We'll code a DB-abstraction layer that takes care of executing all update queries against all configured database servers and all read queries against one of them known to be alive and lightly loaded (or not recently accessed, or some other scheme). - I guess that if we need database-specific stuff such as stored procedures or similar we need to use the same database software for all failover machines. - If we stay away from database-specifics we could possibly allow failover between different database products. Would be cool. Using straight, standard SQL, could make this feasible. These are very premature thoughts, we are getting closer to the planning and design stage, but we haven't actually started yet.

Re: CMP java.util.Date property on Postgres
I got this also, The problem is with the implementation of getDate() in the PostGres Drivers. It is a very big hassle to fix. It throws a parse exception when trying to do a SimpleDateFormat on the String coming from the Database. Once i fixed that, I also ran into a problem where it seems that orion already has a version of the postgres drivers internally somewhere, so my .jar file with the fix was not being picked up by orion. I ended up having to change the package name of all the classes in the Postgres drivers, and use a different one. I'll attach the one I am using, but my fix is not particularly robust. All i did was put in a couple of conditions on the string, and catch the parseFormat error. If you want to fix the problem yourself, it's on line 447 of the ResultSet.java file in jdbc2, of the postgres JDBC drivers that come with the database.

My problem: I've been reading the PostGres documentation, and apparently there is an 8k limit on row size. My site is made up of large articles, some of which are up to about 20k in size.

There is a very good Oreilly book on EJBs, and since Orion conforms very closely to the EJB and servlet specs by Sun they are also a very good source of information, and quite easy to read. I have found that a lot of questions on the list are answered pretty clearly in the Specifications. As for orion specific documentation, I have found the mailing archives and examples to be by far the best source. Here's the link for the book, http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/entjbeans2/ The specs can be downloaded as part of the Orion Documentation. research, experiment, ask questions. working so far for me :) good luck! -Lkb At 06:51 PM 7/27/00 -0700, Sach Jobb wrote: sadly, no. the best documentation for orion is, by far, this list. there is a searchable archive of it somewhere too that i have found to be quite useful. sach On Thu, 27 Jul 2000, Kevin Handley wrote: I am new to J2EE and Orion and am totally confusued.

Re: Multiple developers with Orion
Hey rick, We also have multiple developers working on the same box. We have given everyone an instance of Orion for their home directories, and use CVS to manage the applications. Our buildmaster/IS guy is in charge of managing the server.xml and default-web-site.xml files, and making they are all the same, and giving everyone unique ports. It's working very well so far, we initially tried a bunch of complicated setups with virtual hosts, and everyone having different applications, but it got very confusing very quickly, and we realized that separate instances were a lot better. -Lkb At 04:28 PM 7/28/00 +0200, Thomas Munro wrote: Rick, Each of our developers has a seperate Orion instance running on their own machine so they can bring it up and down whenever they want, and we are using CVS to manage the sources. This seems to work reasonably well. We share the same Oracle database, which occasionally causes problems when someone changes something too much there, but most of the time it works well. -- Thomas Munro [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gi-technology.com/ GI Technology (Paris) On Fri, 28 Jul 2000, Rick Bos wrote: We have several developers working with Orion at the same time. We currently have a single instance of Orion which must be restarted when changes are made. Each user has a separate application that points to their working directory. Each user has a separate web location: /server/user1/Intro.jsp /server/user2/Intro.jsp Would it be a good idea to have multiple instances or Orion ? What would be the best way to do this ?

Re: Nested tags in orion
Never mind, i figured it out. Sorry for the hassle.

Hey, I switched to Orion recently from tomcat, and I'm having a problem
with nested jsp tags.
test:TestBodyTag
trtdtest:TestEntityTag //td/tr
/test:TestBodyTag
doesn't seem to work in orion. the 'TestBodyTag' writes the bodyContent to
the page after the entity tag has been written, so i end up with
contents of TestEntityTag
trtd/td/tr
Is there a way to get the internal tags to write to the bodycontent of the
parent tag? In tomcat anything you write to 'out' inside the body is just
put into the bodycontent of the parent tag, and output in the doEndTag()
This is causing a big problem for me, and any help would be appreciated.
In my example, the body tag looks like:
public int doEndTag() throws JspException {
try{
out.println(bodyContent.getString());
}catch(java.io.IOException ioe) {
etc...
and the Entity tag looks like:
public int doStartTag() throws JspException {
try {
out.println("contents of the entity tagbr");
}catch(java.io.IOException ioe) {
etc...
I'm defining 'out' in a TagBase class that I extend:
out = pageContext.getOut();
thanks,

PS, I am totally impressed with Orion! It you guys rock.
PathInfo and servlet-mapping
Ok, I've determined that I don't always lose my pathInfo. It's only when i try to map my servlet as the default servlet. How do i do a getPathInfo() on my default servlet? Here is the entry in my web.xml file. what am i doing wrong? When I use: servlet-namePrintPathInfo/servlet-name url-pattern//url-pattern URL: /testing/the/pathInfo getPathInfo() returns null when I use: servlet-namePrintPathInfo/servlet-name url-pattern/path/url-pattern URL: /path/testing/the/pathInfo getPathInfo() returns /testing/the/pathInfo Thanks for your help. -Lkb
