We had to make our error page very simple.

Subject: Recursion error in error-page
DISCLAIMERI have extensively searched the list archives and the sun jsp
forum first/DISCLAIMER
Hi,
We have set up a number of Jsp error pages specific to each of the custom
exceptions that we throw.
I am unable to get the custom error pages to work.
When my error jsp pages try to access the implicit exception object, the
following error appears in the browser:
Recursive error in error-page calling for /error/JspException.jsp, see the
application log for details.
Even with the standard jspexception it doesnt work.
The tag handler throws this jspException
---
throw new JspException("" + thisTagName + "]The object X is null." );
---
In the web.xml, I have the following:
---
error-page
error-code500/error-code
exception-typejavax.servlet.jsp.JspException/exception-type
location/error/JspException.jsp/location
/error-page
---
The error page appears if I take out any reference to the implicit exception
object.
But as soon as I put any reference to it in, it breask with the error shown
above.
This is a basic version of the jsp. It fails beacuse of the
exception.toString()
---
HTML
HEAD
%@ page isErrorPage="true" %
%@ page import="ilaunch.exception.*", javax.servlet.jsp.*, javax.servlet.*
%/HEAD
BODY bgcolor="white"
H2JspException/H2
%= exception.toString() %
/BODY
/HTML
---
I have never been able to access the exception object from the jsp error
page.
Is it just me, or is it a feature of Orion. I am tempted to test my .ear
file on another app server, but I dont have the time.
The mapping within the web.xml file seems to work ok.
If I can't resolve this at all, I'll have to revert to inserting attributes
into the request object, which is hardly elegant.
Any assistance with this would be very gratefully appreciated.

RE: Controlling the Class path order for XALAN
One ugly way is to rename them to aXalan.jar, axerces.jar... therefore putting them alphabetically before jaxp.jar They would have to be in the same directory, though.

However i am having some problems. i get "Namespace not supported by SAXParser" error. Now i have found that this is because jaxp.jar is also on the classpath. However Orion requires this to work. So to solve this problem i need to have jaxp.jar come after xalan.jar on the class path for me running my application under orion. eg. xalan.jar;jaxp.jar This way the classes in xalan.jar are loaded first and are used instead of jaxp.jar as far as i know the avaiale classpath directories are, in this order i think 1. /orion root (currently contains jaxp.jar and orions versions of xalan.jar and xerces.jar) 2. /orion/lib for golbal files (currently does not contain any files related to me) 3. my-app-directory/web-inf/lib (currently contains the lastest versions of xalan.jar and xerces.jar) So my question is how do i get my version of Xalan.jar and xerces.jar to load before jaxp.jar cheers

The referer has two main problems a) it is not dependable. Not all browsers send it all the time. b) It is very easily spoofable.

RE: how to set environment properties for an app?
Have only one application per java instance. Each with their own
application.xml, and whatever other things they need.
Another option is to put the configuration items into the web.xml of each of
your apps, perhaps as initialization parameters to a startup servlet. That
startup servlet can then put those parameters into a configuration object
that is specific to your application.

To do this, we pass in environment variables on the command

to java that starts orion using the -D option
So

You can then access them using

RE: orion on unix
The best way to get around this, I think, is to use apache as a front end
and connect Orion to it.
There is excellent documentation on how to do this on
www.orionsupport.com... when it comes up. It think it is one of the
featured links on the right hand menu.
Apache runs anywhere, pretty much.
What you do is start up apache as root. Apache grabs whatever lower
numbered ports it needs (including 80) and then changes its user to
something else (usually 'nobody'). You change the configuration in
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (at least on linux) and then you can connect to
it using standard procedures supported by both apache and orion.
The main benefit of this is that you can run jrun as whomever you would like
('orion' is a good username) and you only have to worry about the file
permissions from that point on.
You DEFINITELY don't want to run orion, or any other Servlet Container as
root. The main reason is security. One of your developers could very
easily write a piece of code that would wipe out the entire hard drive, or
worse... and if anyone was able to hack in... all they would need to do is
write up a jsp file, and they have all the access they want.
Anyway. The apache thing works for us. We are able to do a lot of things
with this. One example is Virtual hosting. Each developer is able to have
their own instance of orion, running on their own virtual IP address, on
their own code base and starting and stopping it on their own running as
their own user. Apache allows for this.

Subject:orion on unix
Hi,
I used to run orion on NT machine and now I have to deploy
it on a Sun Sparc
Solaris machine.
Honestly, my knowledge on unix system admin is very limited.
Ok, now I have this problem:
I have untar the orion archieve to a folder called orion,
this folder and
all the files and subfolders under it are belongs to a user
name 'orion',
the group access permission for this folder (and all it's
files) are also
called 'orion'. When I log in to unix as user 'orion' and
try to start up
the app server by typing java -jar orion.jar, I get a
message "Error
starting HTTP-Server : Permission denied". I can only
startup orion if I
log in as root user. This is not acceptable because I can't
let everyone to
have root access just for starting up the orion server.(Our
project still in
the development phase so we need to start and stop the
server quite often)
I am puzzle with this error because I have already set the
owner of all the
files under orion folder to be 'orion', and orion app server
is using it's
own http-server internally so it shouldn't has any
permission problem.
I think that orion app server might try to access some of
the unix system
file which must have root access, if this is the case can
someone tell me
which file it it?
Or is there any alternative work around for this problem?
Thanks and best regards

You can override the 404 html error, sending that to a servlet or JSP.

Try putting the .properties file in the directory parent to your server.xml
file.
i.e. if your server.xml were in /opt/orion/config, put your .properties file
in /opt/orion
This can get ugly and confusing, if you get multiple '.properties'-like
files in that directory. I would suggest having your code look for files in
a 'myconfig' or 'files' directory, and making that directory appear where
you start orion.
I hope this was clear.

Subject:Where to put bean property files
I have a bean that I'm trying to use in a jsp page that
requires a
.properties file to initialize itself. It looks for the
properties file in
the current directory (new
FileInputStream("fileName.properties")). I've
tried putting the file in the lib directory, the WEB-INF
directory, the
META-INF directory, in the same directory as the .jsp file
and even in the
jar file of the bean, but I always get "FileNotFound"
exceptions. Where is
the proper place to put configuration files?
