The ultimate goal is to build a .war
that contains your OJB repository configuration files, as well as your classes and jar files.
build.properties
file. Please see the contents of that file to determine which properties
need modification. But, for example, you must point the build to your servlet engine's servlet.jar file containing the javax.servlet packages.
If you wish to keep a properties file in another location that takes precedence, the build looks for a objc_build.properties
in your $HOME directory
first. See the build.xml for more information.
.war
file, the build will pick up the files in the etc/ojb directory and place
them in the war for you. This facilitates packaging the .war
with your files.
You must replace the repository.xml files in the etc/ojb directory. The OJB console manages the objects in your repository.
Also, add your .class or .jar files to the etc/ojb/classes
and etc/ojb/lib
directory, respectively. The .class or .jar files you
place here should be the ones that represent the objects defined in your repository.xml. They are added ti the WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib
directory of the packaged .war
during the build.
If desired, modify the OJB.propertes file
If you are updating from cvs regularly, you may wish to override the property custom.ojb and place the properties file in your home
directory named ojbc_build.properties. Checkout the build.xml to see how this works.
ant build-warThis should complete successfully and leave a file
ojbc.war
in the build/wars
directory.
ant -projecthelpYou may see something similar to this:
$ ant -projecthelp Buildfile: build.xml Main targets: build-release Builds a sourceforge release. Probably not what you want build-war Build the classes, create the jars, and packages a war clean Cleans the build directory clean-codegen Removes code from the code generated packages codegen Generates the generated source code compile Compiles java classes dist Creates a distribution directory for a release docs Builds the javadocs jar Packages the jar from the compiled classes prepare Create for the build process release Creates release files from the distribution directory. war Packages the war Default target: build-warHere is some sample output from a successful build. (Note: this should be similar but probably not identical).
