Steps for Java tutorial ================================================== 1) Make sure thrift is compiled, both the compiler and the Java library. You should be able to verify the following: thrift/tutorial/java$ file ../../lib/java/libthrift.jar ../../lib/java/libthrift.jar: Zip archive data, at least v1.0 to extract thrift/tutorial/java$ file ../../compiler/cpp/thrift ../../compiler/cpp/thrift: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, not stripped thrift/tutorial/java$ ls ../../lib/java/build/ivy/lib/ commons-lang-2.5.jar junit-4.4.jar servlet-api-2.5.jar slf4j-api-1.5.8.jar slf4j-simple-1.5.8.jar 2) Generate code for java: thrift/tutorial/java$ cd .. thrift/tutorial$ thrift -r -gen java tutorial.thrift 3) Compile example thrift/tutorial/java$ ant 4) Run example: thrift/tutorial/java$ ./JavaServer & thrift/tutorial/java$ ./JavaClient
