Building, Packaging, Deploying, and Running the Web Client

You can build, package, deploy, and run the webclient application by using either NetBeans IDE or Ant. To build the client, you must first have deployed helloservice, as described in Building, Packaging, and Deploying the Service.

To Build, Package, Deploy, and Run the Web Client Using NetBeans IDE

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

2. In the Open Project dialog, navigate to:

   tut-install/examples/jaxws/

3. Select the webclient folder.

4. Select the Open as Main Project check box.

5. Click Open Project.

6. In the Projects tab, right-click the webclient project and select Deploy.

   This task runs the wsimport tasks, builds and packages the application into a WAR file, webclient.war, located in the dist directory, and deploys it to the server.

7. In a web browser, navigate to the following URL:

   http://localhost:8080/webclient/HelloServlet

   The output of the sayHello method appears in the window.

To Build, Package, Deploy, and Run the Web Client Using Ant

1. In a terminal window, go to:

   tut-install/examples/jaxws/webclient/

2. Type the following command:

   ant

   This command calls the default target, which runs the wsimport tasks, then builds and packages the application into a WAR file, webclient.war, located in the dist directory.

3. Type the following command:

   ant deploy

   This task deploys the WAR file to the server.

4. In a web browser, navigate to the following URL:
