Orion does this, if you notice that when the user presses stop and your code is inside a custom tag, it throws an IOException : End of Pipe or something similar. Mike -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Duffey, Kevin Sent: Tuesday, October

RE: Orion w/ postgresql

2000-10-31 Thread Mike Cannon-Brookes
The first error is due to using an old postgres JDBC driver - get the latest source from CVS and compile it yourself (not too tricky to do, I figured it out!) That might clear up the second problem as well, I think it will. Mike -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

Has anyone used RUE to monitor Orion in a production environment?

2000-11-01 Thread Mike Cannon-Brookes
RUE - http://rue.nolimits.ro/ This looks like a very useful tool to monitor Orion in a production environment, has anyone done this? You could monitor things like: - memory usage - open connections - connections in use - status of connections (ie up down full) Has anyone used it?

As I said in my email, the driver provided with 7.0.2 is not the latest, you'll need to get the source from CVS and build your own driver to get rid of the errors. Mike -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Seung Bang Sent: Thursday,

Indeed - completely ignorable, it's an error in Datasource.getMetaData() I believe. It's fixed in the CVS version if you build the latest driver. Mike -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Tim Drury Sent: Friday, November 03, 2000 3:10 AM

RE: Placement of jars for JSP

You can place the JAR anywhere - orion will automatically detect it has changed when you recompile / rejar, and it will load the new driver. Just change the location with the taglib-location attribute in web.xml. Mike -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

There's no standard way to do this unfortunately. There is an Orion logger which I was told how to use once (involves a JNDI lookup at java:comp/env/logger or something like that) - I'll see if I can find the sample code. Mike -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

RE: adding EJBs to the default app

The application.xml that you're looking at is the 'Orion deployment file for the default web app' - ie it's an orion-application.xml file ;) Use the correct syntax for that (ie ejb-module I think) and it will work. In general I try not to put anything in the default web app or in the global

Someone was asking a while back about how to get the name of the current application, here's how. (please bear in mind this stuff is all completely proprietary to Orion and will probably change just as often as they refactor the internals) Try this as a JSP: %@ page import="javax.naming.*,
