Simple Web Sample Application

 

Simple Web Sample Application
 

This document describes how to use the simple web sample application with Sun Java System Web Server.

This sample application document contains the following sections:


Overview

The simple web sample application is a collection of simple servlets and JSPs that demonstrate use of the Servlet and JSP specifications.

Compiling and Assembling the Application


To compile and assemble the sample application, complete the following steps:
  1. Compile and assemble the WAR file by changing to the source directory at install_root/samples/java/webapps/simple/src and running the ant command.  
    The default target default is executed to build the WAR file.
      Note - Make sure that the necessary parameters for running the samples are specified in install_root/samples/java/webapps/common.properties.

  2. Deploy the application.
    After you have re-created the sample application from scratch, you can proceed to Deploying the Sample Application.
     
  3. (Optional.) Clean the web application project area.
     
    # ant clean

    This removes the assemble and build directories for the sample application. The WAR file is now ready for deployment.
     
Deploying the Sample Application

To deploy the simple web sample application, complete the following steps:
  1. Change to the source directory at install_root/samples/java/webapps/simple/src

     
  2. Run the ant tool using the deploy task.
    # ant deploy
If you want to verify the registration of the application, proceed to Verifying Deployment. Otherwise, proceed to Running the Sample Application.
 

Verifying Deployment

As an optional step, you can verify that the application has been registered. Otherwise, proceed directly to Running the Sample Application.

To verify the registration and deployment of the application, complete the following steps:

  1. Change to the source directory at install_root/samples/java/webapps/simple/src.

  2. Run the ant tool using the list_apps task.

    # ant list_apps

    The webapps-simple module is listed as one of the components.

Running the Sample Application

You can run the application through the following URL:

http://Sun_Java_System_Web_Server_hostname:port/webapps-simple

Navigate through the JSP and servlet links to execute each simple web sample application.
 

    Undeploying the Sample Application

    After successfully deploying and running the application, you might decide to undeploy it and remove the files. To undeploy the application, complete the following steps:

    1. Change to the source directory at install_root/samples/java/webapps/simple/src.
    2. Run the ant tool using the undeploy task.
      # ant undeploy

    Troubleshooting

    If you encounter problems when running the application, review the log files at install_root/instance/logs/errors  to determine what went wrong.
