The Java EE 6 Tutorial

ProcedureTo Build, Deploy, and Run the simplemessage Application 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 simplemessage folder.

  4. Select the Open as Main Project check box and the Open Required Projects check box.

  5. Click Open Project.

  6. In the Projects tab, right-click the simplemessage project and choose Build.

    This task packages the application client and the message-driven bean, then creates a file named simplemessage.ear in the dist directory.

  7. Right-click the project and choose Run.

    This command deploys the project, returns a JAR file named simplemessageClient.jar, and then executes it.

    The output of the application client in the Output pane looks like this (preceded by application client container output):


    Sending message: This is message 1
    Sending message: This is message 2
    Sending message: This is message 3
    To see if the bean received the messages,
     check <install_dir>/domains/domain1/logs/server.log.

    The output from the message-driven bean appears in the server log (domain-dir/logs/server.log), wrapped in logging information.


    MESSAGE BEAN: Message received: This is message 1
    MESSAGE BEAN: Message received: This is message 2
    MESSAGE BEAN: Message received: This is message 3

    The received messages may appear in a different order from the order in which they were sent.
