The Java(TM) Web Services Tutorial

The Java^TM Web Services Tutorial

Setting Up

Before you start developing the example application, you should follow the instructions in this section and in About the Examples.

Getting the Example Code

The source code for the example is in <JWDSP_HOME>/docs/tutorial/examples/gs/, a directory that is created when you unzip the tutorial bundle. If you are viewing this tutorial online, you can download the tutorial bundle from:
http://java.sun.com/webservices/downloads/webservicestutorial.html
 
The example application at <JWDSP_HOME>/docs/tutorial/examples/gs/ consists of the following files.

Converter.java - The Java class that contains the methods dollarToYen and yenToEuro. These methods are used to convert U.S. dollars to Yen, then convert Yen to Euros.
index.jsp - The Web client, which is a JavaServer Pages page that accepts the value to be converted, the buttons to submit the value, and the result of the conversion.
build.xml - The build file that uses the ant tool to build and deploy the Web application.

The rest of this document shows how this example application was created, built, deployed, and run. If you would like to skip the information on creating the example application, you can go directly to the sections describing how to build, deploy, and run the example application, starting with Building and Deploying the Getting Started Application Using Ant.
