Building, Packaging, and Deploying the Form-Based Authentication Example Using Ant

To build, package, and deploy this application using the Ant tool, follow these steps:

1. Follow the instructions in Building the Examples if you have not already done so. This step is necessary to provide the Ant targets with the location of your tutorial and Application Server installations.

2. Add users to the file realm of the Application Server as described in Adding Authorized Roles and Users if you have not already done so.

3. From a terminal window or command prompt, change to the tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/hello1_formauth/ directory.

4. Enter the following command at the terminal window or command prompt:

   ant

   This target will spawn any necessary compilations, copy files to the tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/hello1_formauth/build/ directory, create the WAR file, and copy it to the tut-installjavaeetutorial5/examples/web/hello1_formauth/dist/ directory.

5. Deploy the WAR named hello1_formauth.war onto the Application Server using Ant by entering the following command at the terminal window or command prompt:

   ant deploy

6. Follow the steps in Testing the Form-Based Authentication Web Client.
