Building the Examples
The tutorial examples are distributed with a configuration file for either NetBeans IDE or
Ant. Either NetBeans IDE or Ant may be used to build, package, deploy, and run the ex-
amples. Directions for building the examples are provided in each chapter.
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 applic-
ations
•
web
: web pages, style sheets, tag files, and images (web applications only)
•
web/WEB-INF
: configuration files for web applications (web applications only)
•
nbproject
: NetBeans project files
When an example has multiple application modules packaged into an EAR file, its sub-
module directories use the following naming conventions:
