To run the

asant

scripts, you must set common build properties in the file

<INSTALL>/javaeetutorial5/examples/common/build.properties

as fol-

lows:

· Set the

javaee.home

property to the location of your Application Server

installation. The build process uses the

javaee.home

property to include

the libraries in

<JAVAEE_HOME>/lib/

in the classpath. All examples that

run on the Application Server include the Java EE library archive--

<JAVAEE_HOME>/lib/javaee.jar

--in the build classpath. Some exam-

ples use additional libraries in

<JAVAEE_HOME>/lib/

; the required librar-

ies are enumerated in the individual technology chapters.

<JAVAEE_HOME>

refers to the directory where you have installed the Application Server.

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 Appli-
cation Server installation is

C:\Sun\AppServer

, you must set

javaee.home

as fol-

lows:

javaee.home = C:\\Sun\\AppServer

javaee.home=C:/Sun/AppServer

· Set the

javaee.tutorial.home

property to the location of your tutorial.

This property is used for

asant

deployment and undeployment.

For example, on UNIX:

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

On Windows:

javaee.tutorial.home=C:/javaeetutorial5
