JBoss Seam Sample Application: Open 18 - Phase 1 ================================================ This directory contains a maven project for building phase 1 of the Open 18 sample application. This demo application will run on a simple servlet container such as Tomcat or Jetty. There are no dependencies on EJB 3.0 at all, demonstrating that Seam can be leveraged to get more milage out of JSF without having to swallow the EJB 3.0 kool-aid. In order to use this application, you must have Maven 2.0.4 installed and available on your PATH. The maven binary is named "mvn". You will also need to be connected to the internet so that the dependency jar files can be fetched from the maven repository mirrors. How to Build and Deploy the Example on Jetty -------------------------------------------- 1. Build the application by executing "mvn package". 2. Start the application with Jetty by executing "mvn jetty:run". 3. Point your web browser to: http://localhost:9090/seam-open18-phase1/ How to Build and Deploy the Example on Tomcat --------------------------------------------- 1. Download and install Tomcat. 2. Build the application by executing "mvn package". 3. Copy the deployable "target/seam-open18-phase1.war" into the tomcat "webapps" directory. 4. Start Tomcat. 5. Point your web browser to: http://localhost:8080/seam-open18-phase1/ How to Build and Deploy the Example on JBoss --------------------------------------------- 1. Download and install JBoss. 2. Build the application by executing "mvn package". 3. Copy the deployable "target/seam-open18-phase1.war" into the "server/default/deploy" directory. 4. Start JBoss. 5. Point your web browser to: http://localhost:8080/seam-open18-phase1/ How to Setup in Eclipse ----------------------- 1. Download and install Eclipse 3.2.x with the Web Tools Plugin (WTP). 2. Define the classpath variable "M2_REPO" in Eclipse to point to your local maven repository, $HOME/.m2/respository Alternatively, you can assign this variable by using the maven eclipse plugin mvn -Declipse.workspace=<path-to-eclipse-workspace> eclipse:add-maven-repo 3. Build the application by executing "mvn package". 4. Generate the Eclipse project files by executing "mvn eclipse:eclipse". 5. Start Eclipse. 6. Select "Import..." followed by "Existing Projects into Workspace". 7. Choose this folder and click "Finish" to perform the import. 8. Right click on project and select "Run As" followed by "Run on Server". 9. It may be necessary to setup an application server in Eclipse.
