Sun[tm] ONE Web Server
Sample Applications

Samples Index

A complete index of sample applications is provided as part of the Sun ONE Web Server product.

Before Working with the Samples

It is recommended that you review the following sections prior to working with the sample applications.

1. Set Up Your Environment
This product does not include the Ant Java[tm]-based build tool (http://ant.apache.org). You must download and install Ant version 1.4.1. For more information, see Using Ant with the Samples. Before deploying sample applications to Sun ONE Web Server, make sure your web server environment is functioning properly. A key requirement prior to working with the samples is to ensure that the following directory is added to your PATH environment variable:

<ANT_HOME>/bin

2. Review the Samples Directory Structure
The sample applications included in the web server installation are packaged according to a consistent structure. Each sample's directory structure represents a typical source code directory structure layout. For more information on the manner in which the samples are organized, see the section Samples Directory Structure.

3. Review Using Ant with the Samples 
All of the samples include build.xml files that enable you to use the Java[tm]-based Ant build facility to easily recompile, reassemble, and redeploy the sample applications. For more information on using Ant with the samples, see the section Using Ant with the Samples.

4. Deploying Samples and Creating the Resources Using the Administration GUI 
All of the samples include a pre-built WAR file. You can deploy the WAR file using the Administration GUI. For more information, see the section Deploying Samples and Creating the Resources using Admin GUI.

5. Review Using PointBase with the Samples
See the section Using PointBase with the Samples. This section addresses how to download, install, and configure the PointBase server when you are using the web server.

6. Review Using Oracle with the Samples
The samples that require database connections can also work with an Oracle RDBMS. For more information about using an Oracle RDBMS with the samples, see the section Using Oracle with the Samples.
