Tutorial: Run fgl demos

Demo applications are packaged with the FGLGWS product. You can create a war file to run these applications on your J2EE server.

1. Create a new directory, for example, called "demos".

   mkdir demos

2. With a text editor create a configuration file named gwc-demo.xcf. Add the following configuration and save the file to the "demos" directory:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <APPLICATION >
     <EXECUTION>
       <PATH>$(res.fgldir)/demo</PATH>
       <MODULE>demo</MODULE>
     </EXECUTION>
   </APPLICATION>
   

3. Create a second configuration file named simple-demo.xcf with the following and save to the "demos" directory:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <APPLICATION >
     <EXECUTION>
       <PATH>$(res.fgldir)/demo/Widgets</PATH>
       <MODULE>Edit.42m</MODULE>
     </EXECUTION>
   </APPLICATION>
   

4. Create the gar file by running the following command at the command line of the demos directory:

   fglgar gar --output demos.gar --application gwc-demo.xcf --application simple-demo.xcf

   The demos.gar file is created.
5. Create the war file by running the following command at the command line of the demos directory:

   fglgar war --input-gar demos.gar --output demos.war
   

   The demos.war files is created.
6. Run the application on your J2EE server.
   1. Deploy the war file using your J2EE server tool or deployment portal interface.
   2. Use the link or URL created to access the applications deployed in the war file.
      Tip:

      The base URL in the context of the J2EE server is http://server:port/war_file_name. If you type the base URL in a browser, you get the JGAS user interface home page where you can then access all applications and services published in your war file. For more information on the JGAS user interface, go to JGAS home page.

   3. Select the application to run.
