You can download all the book examples, including the Java source code
for the sample application and all custom JSF code, and install
them locally as described in Chapter 3. All you need is included in
this file:
jsfexamples.zip.
To run the examples on your own desktop or server, you need
a Servlet 2.4/JSP 2.0 compliant container, such as
Apache Tomcat 5.0.18
or later.
|
How to install the examples for Tomcat, or any other compliant
web container, is described in detail in the book.
Briefly, this is what you need to do to run the examples:
- Download the examples ZIP file and save it on your hard disk.
- Unpack the contents of the file with either a ZIP
utility program (such as WinZip) or the jar
command that's included in the standard Java environment.
The file contains two directories: jsfbook and src.
-
The jsfbook directory contains the book examples arranged
in the structure specified by the Servlet 2.2 specification
for web applications archives (WAR files), which is supported by
most containers also as an open file system structure.
For Tomcat, just copy the jsfbook directory and all its
subdirectories under Tomcat's webapps directory.
For other containers, see their documentation for how to
install a web application.
-
The main application uses container-based authentication, so
you need to define users for the roles
employee
and manager manager. If you're using Tomcat, the
easiest way to do so is in the Tomcat conf/tomcat-users.xml
file:
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="employee"/>
<role rolename="manager"/>
<user username="mike" password="boss" roles="manager"/>
<user username="hans" password="secret" roles="employee"/>
</tomcat-users>
-
Restart the container and access the main example page
with a URL like:
http://localhost:8080/jsfbook/
