should be as simple as:
1) under tomcat/webapps create a folder called test
2) extract the samples.war contents to the test folder you just created
3) start tomcat
4) goto http://localhost:8080/test and u should see the sample page and start
using the demo apps

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex Data Services installation
I am evaluating this software for purchase for our UI Development
teams, 50+ people. I'm posting this question here because the FLEX
forum is continually undergoing maintenance which is making it
temporarily unavailable until 1:00pm PST. I'm on the east coast,
and although I tried over several days to connect to this forum (all
after 4pm EST), the FLEX forum is always unavailable.
The question I am trying to get answered is regarding Flex Data
Services. I've downloaded the files according to the instructions
at:
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/2/install.html#fle
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/2/install.html#fle
xj2ee .
I placed the files in my webapps directory running on
tomcat.
However, according to the instructions at:

cat,
It appears I need to download additional applications in order to
correctly use FDS (Java Transaction API (JTA), Java Management
Extensions (JMX)). I have tried to download the JOTM 2.0.10.tgz
from
http://forge.objectweb.org/project/download.php?
http://forge.objectweb.org/project/download.php?
group_id=19file_id=3926
without success. Once I try to unzip the
file (I am running Windows XP Professional). I get the following
error:
Error reading header after processing 0 entries.
I've tried to download three different versions of JOTM, and also
tried saving the tar as a zip file. However, trying to open the
WinZip file returns this error:
Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive. If you
downloaded this file, try downloading the file again.
Has anyone been successful in downloading and opening the all
important JOTM? If so, could you tell me where you got it, how you
were able to open the files?
Also, while I was reading the installation instructions for Tomcat
at:

it is pretty complicated for a non-Java programmer to
understand. I asked one of our 6-year Veteran Java developers to
help me with this and he said it was a pretty complicated process
for someone w/o Java programming experience. But he did say that if
I can't download the JOTM, I won't be able to do whatever it is that
Flex Data Services is supposed to do. I say the latter because I am
still in the Getting Started manual going through the last of the
tutorials before I start reading Using Flex, so I'm not really
sure what lessons I will be doing that require FDS to work correctly
on my box.
Was I wrong to think that Flex was supposed to be geared at Front-
End Developers?
