8. To run the application, open the bookstore URL http://localhost:8080/bookstore6.
To deploy and run the application using Ant, follow these steps:
1. In a terminal window, go to tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/bookstore6/.
2. Type ant. This target will spawn any necessary compilations, copy files to the
tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/bookstore6/build/ directory, and create a
WAR file and copy it to the
tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/bookstore6/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
