Re: Is this the Orion Team?

Interesting Tim,

I got a different TV reference, thinking Karl looked like the young actor
who played Damien. I guess you see what you want.

Re: ORION RISE FROM THE DEAD! - What we have here is a failure to communicate ...

2001-04-12 Thread Mike Sick

Hey Randy,

I think that most people who bothered to join this list want Orion to
succeed and I can see how you might have taken David's words badly. There's
no doubt that there are a significant number of Orion fans that are very
dedicated (me included). It's natural, however, to want resolution and
orionserver's lack of progress in the last few months should raise
significant concern. Add 'a failure to communicate' to the mix and concern
will turn to frustration, desperation, and worse.

Orion's strength as a product has allowed a small but significant developer
community to emerge around it. The activity on this list, the various
support sites, and the strong word of mouth growth of Orion are all signs
that developers care and will support the product. But it's impossible to
help if you don't know what's wrong.

 David:
   Most people on this list are fans of Orion and are rooting for them to
succeed.  Personally, I root for the small guys, like Orion, Jboss, and
Jonas, only because this technology should be available to everyone, and not
just companies with deep pockets.  Orion is the only commercial server under
$5000 that is any good, and able to go toe to toe with BEA on several
points.  I wouldn't want them to go out of business, and would much rather
Orion became an open source project before that happens.  It has too much
potential to fold.

 I've been watching Orion for awhile using/testing.  It so close to being
ideal for me and my clients and we are ready to buy.  But development seems
to have stopped lately.  Updates to the web site are virtually non-existant
(ie ORION 1.2 released on main site)...meanwhile we are up to 1.4.5 since
Jan 22.  I am happy with its current state.  I just sucessfully tested SSL
with it.  I haven't done much in terms of EJB yet, but my experiences with
orion still have been great.

 SO ORION - Please get your act together.  Or if you must go out of
businessdo it soonso I can look at enhydra/weblogic/websphere
again...I haven't looked at them in awhile because I have been happy with
orion.

 It's for your own good.  You obviously have some great programmers who
developed this product.  They should either keep working on it, or find
another product to work on.

 Best of luck
 David








Re: JBoss verses Orion

2001-04-02 Thread Mike Sick

When I was first introduced to Orion, Magnus was the one and only developer
on the job. Unless Karl gave him the boot and rewrote all the code, which
seems unlikely as at least on the phone Magnus sounds like one tough Swede,
Magnus wrote the foundation of Orion. From what I know, Karl came in for
both technology and business development (at which he's done nicely).
Someone should write A Short History Of Orionserver.

 Hello,
 I need to have my EJB perform some DB operation at midnight everyday.
 How do I do that?
 In PC, I could create a timer object to do that with VC++, but in Java
 it does not seem to have such a functionality. And I think it's ideal
 to handle it in the server side rather than play with Java.
 In other words, orion may have such a cron function built in to do
 something in a timely manner.
 If anyone has any experience with this, please tell me how.
 Thank you very much in advance.

Re: JMS implementation, is it for real?

2000-10-29 Thread Mike Sick

Hi Jason,

We are using FioranoMQ and it seems to be working well. see:

http://www.fiorano.com/

OrionTeam - If your JMS implementation is good - do speak up. I've read
several emails saying that it is not ready for prime-time and NOT A SINGLE
response from the Orion team saying that it is. I know if someone said these
things about your webserver/servlet/ejb implementations you'd be all over it
like white on rice.

So what's the deal?

Regards,

Mike

Subject: JMS implementation, is it for real?


 Is Orion's JMS implementation for real?  While it supports the
 simplistic behavior as demonstrated by the chat and coffeemaker demo it
 doesn't appear to support much else.
 JMS parts I can't get working:
 o Transactions.  Doesn't seem to matter what you call: commit,
rollback,
 etc.  Doesn't make a difference.
 o Persistence: Make the change in the jms.xml to define a queue's
 persistent-file, set the message delivery mode to persistent, watch it get
 ignored.

 Has anyone had much luck with this?  Perhaps SwiftMQ is the answer
here
 (even though I want to use the MessageDrivenBeans).

Re: Development tools

2000-09-14 Thread Mike Sick

Webgain is  more expensive and more trouble than it's worth. We use it for
builds and such on our team, but only because it's legacy and our project
files and such are in it. With a bit of spare time, we'd switch. Try
CodeGuilde - the developers here seem to like it lots.

 What development tools have you used with Orion?

 I heard about JBuilder. How easy was the integration?

 Any experience with WebGain (VisualCafe)? This would be nice if
 transplanting to WebLogic is a fail-over scenario (if Orion does not do
 as well as expected).

I thought it was in interesting question as well. 
Team Orion, how bout it?

  The one thing I haven't been able to test yet 
  is if I shut down one clustered server, then restart it, if the session data 
  gets replicated to it again automatically. It should, but I have yet to see if 
  that works.
