The Java EE 6 Tutorial, Volume I

Building and Running the order Application

This section describes how to build, package, deploy, and run the order application. To do this, you will create the database tables in the JavaDB server, then build, deploy, and run the example.

Building, Packaging, Deploying, and Running order In NetBeans IDE

    Follow these instructions to build, package, deploy, and run the order example to your Enterprise Server instance using NetBeans IDE.

  1. In NetBeans IDE, select File->Open Project.

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

  3. Select the order folder.

  4. Select the Open as Main Project check box.

  5. Click Open Project.

  6. In the Projects tab, right-click the order project and select Run.

NetBeans will open a web browser to http://localhost:8080/order/.

Building, Packaging, Deploying, and Running order Using Ant

To build the application components of order, enter the following command:


ant

This runs the default task, which compiles the source files and packages the application into an WAR file located at tut-install/examples/persistence/order/dist/order.war.

To deploy the WAR, make sure the Enterprise Server is started, then enter the following command:


ant deploy

Open a web browser to http://localhost:8080/order/ to create and update the order data.

The all Task

As a convenience, the all task will build, package, deploy, and run the application. To do this, enter the following command:


ant all

Undeploying order

To undeploy order.war, enter the following command:


ant undeploy
