This document describes the examples available in Wink distribution =============================================================================== 1. Available examples: "app" module contains simple applications that use both JAX-RS and Wink extension features (ordered by the level of complexity) - HelloWorld - Bookmarks - QADefect - SimpleDefects "core" module contains JAX-RS core features - CustomContext - CustomExceptionMapper - Jaxb - Preconditions "client" module contains Wink client examples - ReadRSS-client - QADefects-client - GoogleDocs-client "ext" module contains examples that demonstrate Wink additional features - Asset - DynamicResource - History - LinkBuilders - MultiPart - RuntimeRegistration - Spring - Scope - WebDAV For more details regarding each example, please refer to the readme.txt file located in each example directory. 2. Installation Prerequisites Before building examples make sure the following products, with the specified versions, are installed on your system: * Java 5(or newer) Development Kit * Apache ant 1.6 (or newer) * Maven 2.0.9 or later 3.Build examples 3.1 Build examples using Ant Each example directory contains a build.xml for use with Ant. In order to build a file for the example go to the specific example directory and run "ant". The WAR file is created in the same example directory. Examples were tested with Ant 1.6.5. Apache Ant project: http://ant.apache.org/ Ant targets (run e.g. "ant compile"): - dist - the default target (to build WAR) - init - preparation before compile target - compile - compilation of source codes into directory "build" before dist - clean - the clean-up target Note: Each example results in its own WAR file, meaning there is no common WAR file for all examples. 3.2 Build examples using Maven 2 Each example directory contains a pom.xml for use with Maven. Before using Maven, you must: 1) Install and configure Maven 2.0.9 or later (http://maven.apache.org/) a) Download and install Maven 2.0.9 or later b) Put "%MAVEN_HOME%/bin" into your path (for MS Windows) 2) Set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to the location where JDK 1.5 is installed. Maven targets (to build use "mvn package"): - compile - compilation of source codes into directory "target". - package - builds the WAR file in the example directory "target". - install - creates a package and uploads it to the local Maven repository. - clean - deletes the directory "target". - idea:idea - create IntelliJ Idea project files. - eclipse:eclipse - create Eclipse project files. 4. Java IDE support IntelliJ Idea and Eclipse project files can be created in the example directories by using Maven. The project files were tested with IntelliJ Idea 6.0 and Eclipse 3.3. Note: Run "mvn install" before creating project files with Maven Create IntelliJ Idea project files by running "mvn idea:idea" in the example directory. Open the created *.ipr file in IntelliJ Idea. Create Eclipse project files by running "mvn eclipse:eclipse" in the example directory. Create an Eclipse workspace and use the workspace path when running: mvn -Declipse.workspace= eclipse:add-maven-repo This command sets the project variable M2_REPO, which is used in library paths. In Eclipse, select "File->Import->General->Existing Projects into Workspace", click Next, select the example directory, and click Finish. Note: Eclipse project files for plugin WTP are also created. 5. Deploy and run the examples Use the command "mvn jetty:run-war" in order to run the example with jetty web server. From the distribution zip file extract the required example and run the "mvn jetty:run-war" command from the command line. This will start the jetty web server and will enable access to the example application through 8080 port. e.g.: C:\QADefect> mvn jetty:run-war after the server has started, access the application through: http://localhost:8080/QADefect/rest Alternatively, example WAR files can be deployed to any servlet container. Use e.g. hot-deployment: copy a created WAR file into the deployment directory e.g. "JBOSS/server/default/deploy". --- readme.txt EOF ---
