Amos,
| So must I create the servlet application myslef in
| TOMCAT. Is the build file provided in the interest
| example directory the one used for building the
| servlet with ant?
I have been trying to deploy the interest servlet example
also today. I just managed to get it working - realised
that there is a line in the ANT build.xml file in
examples\org\jboss\docs\interest\build.xml that is:
<exclude name="org/jboss/docs/interest/InterestServlet.java" />
that strangely precludes the servlet from being compiled into the
directory that the .war file is constructed from; I realised by inspecting
the contents of the EAR file, that the servlet was not contained.
I changed the line above to:
<!-- exclude name="org/jboss/docs/interest/InterestServlet.java"
/ -->
Next, in the main build.xml file in JBOSS_DIST/examples/build/build.xml, I
added the following target:
<target name="intro-interest-servlet" depends="init">
<ant antfile="org/jboss/docs/interest/build.xml" target="ear" />
</target>
I put this after the other targets for Chapter 1 - doing so ensures that the
init paramaters are correctly picked up.
Then; ant intro-interest-servlet built a correct .ear file, which I just
dropped into JBOSS_DIST/deploy, restarted JBoss (not sure if Tomcat requires
a restart or not, I did, just to be sure) and surfed to:
http://localhost:8080/interest/home.html
It worked a treat, and i'm doing interest calculations as we speak.
I think it would be useful if the above text was included in a better form,
in Chapter 11 of the JBoss manual...if this seems sensible, then I'm happy
to write it up a little more clearly, for submission.
Thoughts ?
Hope this helps,
Steven
