Tools Overview
Steps to build, deploy, and run the examples
1 Build. You can build all of the examples simultaneously or build each one
individually. To build them all simultaneously, navigate to the:
/examples/webservices/
directory and execute the Ant command. For example:
C:/BDP/examples/webservices>Ant
builds all the examples.
To build an individual example, navigate to its specific directory and execute the Ant
command.
For example:
C:/BDP/examples/webservices/java>Ant
builds only the Java Provider example.
2 Deploy. You deploy the examples to a running instance of BES. You can use the
ant deploy target, or any of the following to deploy your WAR and JAR:

iastool command-line utility, for more information go to “iastool command-line
utility” on page 293.
Deployment Wizard, for more information go to the Management Console User's
Guide.
3 Run. To run an example, navigate to its directory and use the ant run-client
command.
For example, to run the Java Provider client:
C:/BDP/examples/webservices/java>Ant run-client
Apache Axis Web Service samples
The Apache Axis web service samples are already deployed in the axis-samples.war
file present in the Borland Partition. Since these are already pre-deployed, you do not
need to use the Apache Axis deploy commands suggested in the Apache Axis User's
Guide.
The Apache Axis User's Guide is also provided with the BES installation and is located
in:
/doc/axis/user-guide.html
or refer to the Axis User Guide located in /doc/axis/user-guide.html.
These samples illustrate the capabilities of Axis. They are unmodified from the original
Apache Axis implementation and are not guaranteed to run.
This section describes the various tools used in examples.
Apache ANT tool
The Apache ANT utility is a platform-independent, java-based build tool used to build
the examples. The XML build script build.xml is used to drive the tool. This build.xml
file describes the various targets available for a project and the commands executed in
response to those targets. The Borland Enterprise Server conveniently provides all
necessary JARs and scripts to run the Apache Ant tool.
