Apache Ant

Ant is a Java technology-based build tool developed by the Apache Software Foundation
(

), and is used to build, package, and deploy the tutorial examples.

Ant is included with the Application Server. To use the ant command, add
as-install/lib/ant/bin to your PATH environment variable.

Starting and Stopping the Application Server

To start the Application Server, open a terminal window or command prompt and execute the
following:

asadmin start-domain --verbose domain1

A domain is a set of one or more Application Server instances managed by one administration
server. Associated with a domain are the following:

The Application Server's port number. The default is 8080.

The administration server's port number. The default is 4848.

An administration user name and password.

You specify these values when you install the Application Server. The examples in this tutorial
assume that you chose the default ports.

With no arguments, the start-domain command initiates the default domain, which is
domain1

. The --verbose flag causes all logging and debugging output to appear on the terminal

window or command prompt (it will also go into the server log, which is located in
domain-dir/logs/server.log).

Or, on Windows, you can choose:

To stop the Application Server, open a terminal window or command prompt and execute:
