The Java EE 5 Tutorial

Running the timersession Application Client Using Ant

    To run the application client, perform the following steps.

  1. In a terminal window, go to the tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/ejb/timersession/ directory.

  2. Type the following command:


    ant run
    

    This task first retrieves the client JAR, timersessionClient.jar to the dist directory, and then runs the client. This is the equivalent of running:


    appclient -client TimerSessionAppClient.jar
    
  3. In the terminal window, the client displays these lines:


    Creating a timer with an interval duration of 30000 ms.

The output from the timer is sent to the server.log file located in the domain-dir/server/logs/ directory.

    View the output in the Admin Console:

  1. Open the Admin Console by opening the following URL in a web browser:


    http://localhost:4848/
  2. Enter the admin username and password to log in to the Admin Console.

  3. Click Application Server in the navigation pane.

  4. Click View Log Files.

  5. At the top of the page, you’ll see this line in the Message column:


    Timeout occurred

Alternatively, you can look at the log file directly. After about 30 seconds, open server.log in a text editor and you will see the following lines:


TimerSessionBean: Timeout occurred
