Create a Working Directory
Introduction
In this step of the tutorial, a development working directory is created and populated with several template files. The template files help facilitate the development process. There is a WSRF-based WSDL template, an ANT build script, and a SOAP client. The templates are discussed in further detail throughout the tutorial. It is a good idea to start a WSRF development project by creating a working directory and using the templates.
Create and Populate a Working Directory
To create a working directory for the filesystem example:
- Create a directory on your computer (e.g., /filesystem). This directory will be referred to as WORK_DIR.
- Copy all the files in INSTALL_DIR/template to WORK_DIR.
- Using a text editor, open WORK_DIR/build.properties.
- Uncomment the wsrf.webapp.dir property and set it to the location where the WSRF Web application is installed. If you are using Tomcat and have the CATALINA_HOME environment variable set, you do not need to modify this property.
- Uncomment and modify the proxy settings if you require a proxy to connect to external Web sites.
- Save and close build.properties.
