ProcedureTo 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:

    http://localhost:8080/webclient/HelloServlet

    The output of the sayHello method appears in the window.
