Not sure if this helps...we are using ant do builds with and each time we build / deploy, Orion deploys the new files without failure. It appears to me that Orion is triggering a re-deploy based on the timestamp of the ear file changing. However, I don't think this on-the-fly deployment is a

I have also experienced the same problems, not yet with Orion but with Bluestone. The problem is the same no matter what application server you are using. You must understand that the Application Server is "open-ended". That means that the app server will continue to accept new session

You need to install the J2EE JDK 1.2.1 from the java.sun.com website. Since you are using javac to compile your classes, the j2ee.jar file needs to be in your classpath. here's the URL: http://java.sun.com/j2ee/download.html Hope this helps... Regards, Tom Pridham -Original

RE: application.log file size

2001-01-29 Thread Thomas Pridham
Very good question. When doing stress testing, our log files were getting to 200-300M each time. Of course Orion has the file open for "writing", so what is suppose to happen in a production environment? A solution to the Orion developers may be what IIS does, a new log file for each day.

Title: where should I place the image files This is how we placed our image files 1. We have an images sub-folder in our jsp directory. 2. We reference an image in the jsp with the following code: img src="images/logo3.jpg" 3. We use ant to build our ear file. Hope this helps.

I switched because: 1. Bluestone's Total-e-Server will cost you over $100,000.00. And that is an iteration based license.After so many app server iterations (oh yeah, they don't tell you what an iteration is...), it's time to buy more iterations (HP now owns this company). 2. Tomcat does

In our production environment (win2000), we are using JNT to run Orion as a service: http://www.eworksmart.com/jnt/ Works great. One bug is when you issue a stop command, the stop dialog hangs halfway through, but the service is stopped. Can't beat the price, free!!! -Original

RE: Error unpacking: IO Error: error in opening

We also see this problem alot. My opinion is that while ant is still copying over the file, Orion tries to open it, resulting in an I/O error. Sometimes Orion retries to open it and other times not. The EAR-auto deploy is quirky!! Regards, Tom Pridham Software Engineer http://www.Oakscape.com
