Welcome to the NetUI/JSF Sample
===============================
Requirements
============
The following software is required to build and deploy this sample:
- Java 5
- Ant 1.6.2
- Servlet or J2EE Container
- A JavaServer Faces implementation; either MyFaces or the JavaServer Faces
Reference Implementation.
Installing Dependencies
=======================
1) Java 5
Download: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
Install Java 5 and set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to
refernce the JDK install directory. Ensure that $JAVA_HOME/bin is
available in your $PATH.
2) Ant 1.6.2
Download: http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi
Ant 1.6.2 is the minimum version required by the Beehive build infrastructure.
Install Ant 1.6.2 and set the ANT_HOME environment variable to reference the
Ant install directory. Ensure that $ANT_HOME/bin is available in your $PATH.
3) J2EE Container
A Servlet or J2EE container is required. The NetUI/JSF sample will run well
on Tomcat 5.x. If you are using Tomcat, make sure that the CATALINA_HOME
environment variable is set to the root of the Tomcat installation.
4) JavaServer Faces
Download one of the following:
- MyFaces 1.0.9 or later, at http://myfaces.apache.org
- JavaServer Faces v1.1.01 Reference Implementation, at
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/javaserverfaces/download.html
Once a JSF implementation has been downloaded, set the "myfaces.dir" or
"jsf-ri.dir" property as appropriate in WEB-INF/src/build.properties.
Building
========
The application is set up to create an exploded web application directory in
build/ by copying the web/ directory, building Beehive source artifacts, and
compiling the source files in the src/ directory.
The first time you build the web application, the Beehive runtime libraries will
need to be copied into the webapp with:
$> ant deploy-beehive
Then, the webapp can be built with:
$> ant build-myfaces
-or-
$> ant build-jsf-ri
To clean the webapp, run:
$> ant clean
To build a .war file for the webapp, run:
$> ant war
Deploying and Running
=====================
Use your container's standard deployment practice to deploy the Web
application found in samples/netui-jsf.
The default context path for the webapp is "netui-jsf". When deployed to the
server, the web appliciation should be available at the URL:
http://<host>:<port>/netui-jsf/
If you are using Tomcat 5.0.x for you J2EE container, you can deploy using the
following *after you have built using 'build-myfaces' or 'build-jsf-ri'*:
$> ant build war
$> cp netui-jsf.war $CATALINA_HOME/webapps
Check the Beehive Wiki or your application container's documentation for
information about deploying to other application containers.
