To deploy and run the application using Ant, follow these steps:
1. In a terminal window, go to tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/bookstore1/.
2. Type ant. This command will spawn any necessary compilations, copy files to the
tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/bookstore1/build/ directory, and create a
WAR file and copy it to the
tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/bookstore1/dist/ directory.
3. Start the Application Server.
4. Perform all the operations described in
5. To deploy the example, type ant deploy. The deploy target outputs a URL for running the

.
To learn how to configure the example, refer to the deployment descriptor (the web.xml file),
which includes the following configurations:
A display-name element that specifies the name that tools use to identify the application.
A set of filter elements that identify servlet filters contained in the application.
A set of filter-mapping elements that identify which servlets will have their requests or
responses filtered by the filters identified by the filter elements. A filter-mapping
element can define more than one servlet mapping and more than one URL pattern for a
particular filter.
A set of servlet elements that identify all the servlet instances of the application.
A set of servlet-mapping elements that map the servlets to URL patterns. More than one
URL pattern can be defined for a particular servlet.
A set of error-page mappings that map exception types to an HTML page, so that the HTML
page opens when an exception of that type is thrown by the application.
