Building, Packaging, Deploying, and Running the timersession Example

You can build, package, deploy, and run the timersession example by using either NetBeans IDE or Ant.

To Build, Package, Deploy, and Run the timersession Example Using NetBeans IDE

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

2. In the Open Project dialog, navigate to:

   tut-install/examples/ejb/

3. Select the timersession folder.

4. Select the Open as Main Project check box.

5. Click Open Project.

6. Select Run->Run Main Project.

   This builds and packages the application into timersession.war, located in tut-install/examples/ejb/timersession/dist/, deploys this WAR file to your GlassFish Server instance, and then runs the web client.

To Build, Package, and Deploy the timersession Example Using Ant

1. In a terminal window, go to:

   tut-install/examples/ejb/timersession/

2. Type the following command:

   ant build

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

3. To deploy the application, type the following command:

   ant deploy

To Run the Web Client

1. Open a web browser to http://localhost:8080/timersession.

2. Click the Set Timer button to set a programmatic timer.

3. Wait for a while and click the browser’s Refresh button.

   You will see the date and time of the last programmatic and automatic timeouts.

   To see the messages that are logged when a timeout occurs, open the server.log file located in domain-dir/server/logs/.
