Chapter 6. Running the Examples

In the directory examples there are 2 sets of examples, these are

All the examples are run using ant. You will need ant installed on your system and the ant bin directory on your path.

6.1. The JMS examples

The JMS Examples all follow the same format. Each examples is contained in its own directory which contains the following.

  • build.xml

    This is the ant build file used to run the example

  • src directory

    This contains the source code for the example

  • server0 configuration directory

    This contains the configuration files needed to run the server for the example. There may be multiple configuration directories server0, server1 etc for clustered examples etc.

Each example will start one or more stand-alone servers and stop them after the example has completed.

As a quick start we'll run the queue example. For all other examples refer to the main user manual.

Firstly open a Shell or a Command prompt and navigate to the examples/jms/queue directory.

Type the command ant and you should see the following output:

Buildfile: build.xml

run:

init:

compile:
     [echo] src.example.dir=/home/andy/projects/JBMTrunk/examples/jms/queue/src

Congratulations! You have succesfully run your first Jboss Messaging example. Try some of the others.

6.2. The Java EE Examples

The Java EE Examples are examples that require an Application Server to run. They include MDB, Servlet, EJB examples etc. For this you will need The JBoss Application Server installed. How to do this is explained in the previous chapters.

We'll use the MDB example for the purposes of this guide. For the other examples refer to the user guide. Before going any further ensure that the Jboss Application Server is running.

Like the other Java EE examples the MDB example is a J2EE Application which first needs deploying in the JBoss Application Server. The first thing we need to do is set the JBOSS_HOME environment property to the location of the JBoss Application Server, in a Linux shell this would be something like:

export JBOSS_HOME=/home/jbossas5.1/build/output/jboss-5.1.0.GA

Once set we can then deploy the application, from inside the examples/javaee/mdb directory run the command:

ant deploy

This will make a copy of the messaging profile in the JBoss Application server and start the server.

In the shell window you should see something like the following output:

Buildfile: build.xml

validate-jboss:

deploy:

deploy-resources:
     [copy] Copying 1 file to /home/andy/projects/jbossas5.1/build/output/jboss-5.1.0.GA

We can now run the example, do this by running the following command from within the mdb directory.

ant

You should see some output similar to the following:

Buildfile: build.xml

run:

init:

compile:

runExample:
     [java] Sent message: This is a text message

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 7 seconds

You may also see some output from the JBoss Application Server, in this instance it is:

16:27:54,703 INFO  [STDOUT] message This is a text message received

The application can then be undeployed by running the following command from within the mdb directory.

ant undeploy

This should so some output similar to the following:

Buildfile: build.xml

validate-jboss:

undeploy:

undeploy-misc:
   [delete] Deleting: /home/andy/projects/jbossas5.1/build/output/jboss-5.1.0.GA

   /server/default-with-jbm2/deploy/messaging.sar/jbm-jms.xml

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 1 second

You can verify that the application has been undeployed by checking the output from the JBoss Application Server, in this isntance it will be something like:

16:36:45,277 INFO  [EJBContainer] STOPPED EJB: org.jboss.javaee.example.server.MDBExample 
         ejbName: MessageMDBExample

Congratulations! you have sucessfully deployed and run a Java EE example.
