Building, Deploying, and Running the clientsessionmdb Example Using Ant

To build the application using Ant, do the following:

1. Start the Application Server, if it is not already running.

2. Go to the following directory:

   tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/jms/clientsessionmdb/
   

3. To compile the source files and package the application, use the following command:

   ant

The ant command creates the following:

• An application client JAR file that contains the client class file and the session bean’s remote interface, along with a manifest file that specifies the main class

• An EJB JAR file that contains both the session bean and the message-driven bean

• An application EAR file that contains the two JAR files

The clientsessionmdb.ear file is created in the clientsessionmdb/dist directory.

To deploy the application and run the client, use the following command:

ant run

Ignore the message that states that the application is deployed at a URL.

The client displays these lines:

running application client container.
To view the bean output,
 check <install_dir>/domains/domain1/logs/server.log.

The output from the enterprise beans appears in the server log (domain-dir/logs/server.log), wrapped in logging information. The Publisher session bean sends two sets of 18 messages numbered 0 through 17. Because of the message selector, the message-driven bean receives only the messages whose NewsType property is Sports or Opinion.

Undeploy the application after you finish running the client. Use the following command:

ant undeploy

To remove the generated files, use the following command in the clientsessionmdb, clientsessionmdb-app-client, and clientsessionmdb-ejb directories:

ant clean
