To Build, Package, Deploy, and Run roster Using Ant

1. In a terminal window, go to:

   tut-install/examples/persistence/roster/

2. Type the following command:

   ant

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

3. To deploy the EAR, make sure that the GlassFish Server is started; then type the following command:

   ant deploy

   The build system will check whether the Java DB database server is running and start it if it is not running, then deploy roster.ear. The GlassFish Server will then drop and create the database tables during deployment, as specified in persistence.xml.

   After roster.ear is deployed, a client JAR, rosterClient.jar, is retrieved. This contains the application client.

4. To run the application client, type the following command:

   ant run

   You will see the output, which begins:

   [echo] running application client container.
