Sample Applications in Web Server 7.0
Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 includes a set of sample applications, which can be found in the install-dir/samples directory. All the sample applications are arranged in a specific and well-defined directory structure. The sample application included as part of the Sun Java System Web Server are packaged into consistent directory structure as elaborated below:
- NSAPI — This directory contains examples of source code for Server Application Functions (SAFs) which helps you get started with programming your Sun Java System Web Server.
Directory path: install-dir/samples/nsapi - Java — This directory contains samples which help to create, deploy and run various java applications.
Directory path: install-dir/samples/java - FastCGI — This directory contains samples, which demonstrates the use of PHP Add-On and FastCGI plug-in on Web Server 7.0.
Directory path: install-dir/samples/fastcgi - Administration CLI — This directory contains scripts that one can run using the wadm command line utility. The utility can be found at <install-root>/bin/wadm. wadm is built on a Tcl engine and hence supports Tcl scripting. Some of these samples demonstrate how scripts can be used to perform common administrative tasks. They also demonstrate how new utilities can be built on top of existing commands.
Directory path: install-dir/samples/admin/ - NSACL — This directory contains access control samples which implement the Loadable Attribute Service (LAS) APIs.
Directory path: install-dir/samples/nsacl
Sample Directories
All of the sample applications are arranged in a specific and well-defined directory structure. In general, the top-level directory of a sample application includes the following:
- src: A directory containing all the Java source files, deployment descriptors, JSPs, and HTML files. Samples that use a database provide a script to populate data in the database.
- docs: A directory containing all documentation for the application.
- .WAR file: The deployable .WAR file for the sample application.
- build.xml: A file for the ANT system to build the sample application.
Java Samples
A complete index of Java sample applications provided as part of the Sun Java System Web Server product is listed below:
Table 2-1 Java Samples
| Directory | Contents |
|---|---|
| apis | This directory contains source code of the extensible session manager and session store API that was published in the previous release of Web Server (6.0). These APIs have been deprecated since Sun ONE Web Server 6.1 and are provided in this directory for the purpose of backward compatibility. Directory path: install-dir/samples/java/apis |
| simple | Basic JSP and servlet examples combined into a single web application (Tomcat samples). Directory path: install-dir/samples/java/webapps/simple |
| caching | JSP and servlet examples that demonstrate how to cache results of JSP and servlet execution. Directory path: install-dir/samples/java/webapps/caching |
| jstl | Basic examples that demonstrate usage of the JSP Standard Tag Library. Directory path: install-dir/samples/java/webapps/jstl |
| rmi-iiop | Basic example that demonstrates using a servlet to access a stateless EJB using RMI/IIOP running in Sun Java System Application Server 8.x. Directory path: install-dir/samples/java/webapps/rmi-iiop |
| javamail | A servlet that uses the Javamail API to send an email message. Directory path: install-dir/samples/java/webapps/javamail |
| i18n | A basic Java EE web application that demonstrates how to dynamically change the display language based on user preference. Directory path: install-dir/samples/java/webapps/i18n |
| JSF | Example showing how to use Java Server Faces (JSF) components to quickly build web application user interfaces. JSF examples are included in the following directories:
|
| jdbc | Java DataBase Connectivity examples are included in the following directories:
|
| jndi | Java Naming and Directory Interface examples are in the following directories:
|
| security | Examples demonstrating how to secure Java EE web applications through standard authentication mechanisms and access controls. Security examples are included in the following directories:
|
| webservices/security | Web services security examples are located in the following directory:
|
Building the Samples
An ANT-based build system is used to build the individual sample application. The build.xml file has target to compile the sources, to clean, and to build the war file. It also has targets to deploy and undeploy the application, using the corresponding CLI commands provided by the Web Server. Register application resources in the deployment target.
Documentation for the Samples
Documentation is installed along with the samples during the installation. The index.html in the document root of the default Web Server instance contains links to the samples documentation. In addition, you can access the documentation HTML files directly in the samples directory.
