Building, Deploying, and Running the simplemessage Application Using NetBeans IDE

To build, deploy, and run the application using NetBeans IDE, do the following:

1. In NetBeans IDE, choose Open Project from the File menu.

2. In the Open Project dialog, navigate to tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/ejb/.

3. Select the simplemessage folder.

4. Select the Open as Main Project check box and the Open Required Projects check box.

5. Click Open Project.

6. Right-click the simplemessage project and choose Build.

   This task packages the application client and the message-driven bean, then creates a file named simplemessage.ear in the dist directory.

7. Right-click the project and choose Undeploy and Deploy.

8. Right-click the project and choose Run.

   This command returns a JAR file named simplemessageClient.jar and then executes it.

The output of the application client in the Output pane looks like this:

Sending message: This is message 1
Sending message: This is message 2
Sending message: This is message 3
To see if the bean received the messages,
 check <install_dir>/domains/domain1/logs/server.log.

The output from the message-driven bean appears in the server log (domain-dir/logs/server.log), wrapped in logging information.

MESSAGE BEAN: Message received: This is message 1
MESSAGE BEAN: Message received: This is message 2
MESSAGE BEAN: Message received: This is message 3

The received messages often appear in a different order from the order in which they were sent.

Undeploy the application after you finish running the client. To undeploy the application, follow these steps:

1. Click the Services tab.

2. Expand the Servers node.

3. Expand the Sun Java System Application Server node.

4. Expand the Applications node.

5. Expand the Enterprise Applications node.

6. Right-click simplemessage and choose Undeploy.

To remove the generated files, right-click the simplemessage project and choose Clean.
