Building and running the BES examples
Building and running the BES examples
Note
Note
Many of the BES examples have their own readme.html files located in:
/examples
To build a BES example:
1 Open a command line window.
2 Set the current directory to an example directory. The “Hello World” example located
at /examples/j2ee/hello is a good place to start.
3 On the command line, enter “ant”.
The example should build automatically.
The server does not have to be running to build the example. However, deployment
and undeployment require that the server be operational. Executing an example
requires that the Partition be running.
Deploying the example
1 Make sure that a server is running.
2 On the command line, enter ant deploy.
This will deploy the example to the Hub, Configuration, and Partition set in the
\examples\deploy.properties file.
If you wish to deploy to a different combination of Hub/Configuration/Partition, you can
either edit the deploy.properties file to change the settings, or use -D options on the
command line to override the deploy.properties settings.
For example, to use a Hub named “myhub”, use the command:
ant -Dhub.name=myhub deploy
This will override the default Hub name in deploy.properties with the value myhub.
Running the example
1 Make sure that the Partition is running.
2 On the command line, enter ant execute.
The precise response depends on the particular example.
Undeploying the example
1 Make sure that a server is running.
2 On the command line, enter undeploy.
Troubleshooting
1 Make sure that the /bin directory is on your path and precedes the
path to any alternative Ant installations.
2 Before calling the ant execute command, make sure that the server and the Partition
are running.
