technologies discussed in the tutorial.
Java Platform, Standard Edition
To build, deploy, and run the examples, you need a copy of Java Platform, Standard Edition 5.0

Application Server Installation Tips
During the installation of the Application Server:
Accept the default admin user name, and specify a password. The default user name is
admin
. Remember the password you specify (for example, adminadmin). You will need this
user name and password.
Select the Don't Prompt for Admin User Name and Password radio button.
Note the HTTP port at which the server is installed. This tutorial assumes that you are
accepting the default port of 8080. If 8080 is in use during installation and the installer
chooses another port or if you decide to change it yourself, you will need to update the
common build properties file (described in the next section) and the configuration files for
some of the tutorial examples to reflect the correct port.
