Cannot deploy webapps-simple

Question

Hi,
I have installed sun system application server beta (j2eesdk-1_4_2004Q4-beta-windows.exe)
and I have started Samples Server.
First clarification
* we have to use 8090 as the port. where is this information??
Secondly, I was trying to undeploy webapps-simple present in the
C:\Sun\AppServer\samples\webapps\apps\simple>
I got the following messages when I did asant undeploy
setup_env:
keydel_common:
[echo] Deleting key for user j2ee in server server

nstead.

Hi,
I have installed sun system application server beta
(j2eesdk-1_4_2004Q4-beta-windows.exe)
and I have started Samples Server.
First clarification
* we have to use 8090 as the port. where is this
information??<install_dir>/samples/docs/installing.html talks about the values used in <install_dir>/samples/common.properties
The samples/common.properties file will already have the required settings.
Here is an example of samples/common.properties filled out for installed location of c:\Sun\appserver :
C:\Sun\appserver\samples>cat common.properties
com.sun.aas.pointbaseRoot=C:/Sun/appserver/pointbase
com.sun.aas.webServicesLib=C:/Sun/appserver/lib
com.sun.aas.imqLib=C:/Sun/appserver/imq/lib
com.sun.aas.installRoot=C:/Sun/appserver
com.sun.aas.javaRoot=c:/Sun/appserver/jdk
#admin password will not be saved as default. user can enter it and save it manually.
admin.password=admin
admin.host=localhost
appserver.instance=server
appserver.instance.port=8080
admin.user=admin
admin.port=4848
db.port=9092
db.driver=com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcUniversalDriver
db.classpath=${com.sun.aas.pointbaseRoot}/lib/pbclient.jar;${com.sun.aas.pointbaseRoot}/lib/pbembedded.jar;${com.sun.aas.pointbaseRoot}/lib/pbtools.jar
domain.name=domain1
You can change:
appserver.instance.port=8080
to
appserver.instance.port=8090
or whatever port value you specified for your http listener during installation.
<install_dir>/samples/docs/setupenv.html also talks about this appserver.instance.port and defines it usage:
appserver.instance.port The HTTP port number on which the application server instance is listening.
For this particular sample you should change the source codes references 8080 to 8090 and rebuild the application, and then deploy and use your rebuilt application which would now have the correct port information embedded within this application.
See svgexample.html files for this type of reference:
http://localhost:8080/webapps-simple/jsp/jsp2/jspx/textRotate.jspx?name=JSPX
and change appropriately to your specified port of 8090.
These samples are designed to work on the default port, and you'll need to update hard coded references to 8080 within any application that uses this port value directly.
Secondly, I was trying to undeploy webapps-simple
present in the
C:\Sun\AppServer\samples\webapps\apps\simple>
I got the following messages when I did asant
undeploy

Total time: 1 second It seems as it you either undeployed once already, or never had successfully deployed, because the user which is attempted to be deleted is not found. The undeploy target depends on "unsetup,undeploy_common" so if you have already performed unsetup successfully, then you can just perform asant undeploy_common to undeploy the application and not attempt to clean the environment of file users. Please look at the setup and unsetup targets to see what they are doing, and you can perform asant setup/asant unsetup as needed.. The application build.xml file is designed to just allow you to perform asant deploy and asant undeploy without having to worry about separate setup/unsetup steps.
Please let me know how you are doing after reading this post.
