Example Directory Structure

Note 

On Windows, you must escape any backslashes in the javaee.home property with

another backslash or use forward slashes as a path separator. So, if your Application Server
installation is C:\Sun\AppServer, you must set javaee.home to javaee.home =
C:\\Sun\\AppServer

or javaee.home=C:/Sun/AppServer.

Set the javaee.tutorial.home property to the location of your tutorial. This property is
used for Ant deployment and undeployment.

For example, on UNIX:

javaee.tutorial.home=/home/username/javaeetutorial5

On Windows:

javaee.tutorial.home=C:/javaeetutorial5

Do not install the tutorial to a location with spaces in the path.

If you did not accept the default values for the admin user and password, set the admin.user
property to the value you specified when you installed the Application Server, and set the
admin user's password in the admin-password.txt file in the
tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/common/ directory to the value you specified when
you installed the Application Server.

If you did not use port 8080, set the domain.resources.port property to the value specified
when you installed the Application Server.

Tutorial Example Directory Structure

To facilitate iterative development and keep application source separate from compiled files,
the tutorial examples use the Java BluePrints application directory structure.

Each application module has the following structure:

build.xml

: Ant build file

src/java

: Java source files for the module

src/conf

: configuration files for the module, with the exception of web applications

web

: JSP and HTML pages, style sheets, tag files, and images

web/WEB-INF

: configuration files for web applications

nbproject

: NetBeans project files
