Application Server
Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9 is the build and runtime
environment for the tutorial examples. To build, deploy, and run the examples,
you need a copy of the Application Server and the J2SE 5.0.
Building the Examples
Most of the examples are distributed with a build file for Ant, a portable build
tool contained in the Java WSDP. For information about Ant, visit
http://ant.apache.org/
. Directions for building the examples are provided in
each chapter. Most of the tutorial examples are distributed with a configuration
file for
asant
, a portable build tool contained in the Application Server. This tool
is an extension of the Ant tool developed by the Apache Software Foundation
(
http://ant.apache.org
). The
asant
utility contains additional tasks that
invoke the Application Server administration utility
asadmin
. Directions for
building the examples are provided in each chapter.
Build properties and targets common to all the examples are specified in the files
