Problem deploying Duke's Bookstore JavaEE5 example

Question

Hello everyone,
I am having problems deploying the Duke's Bookstore example. I am trying to follow the tutorial.
I have already updated the information concerning AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD on the file "build.properties". It took me some times... by the way i am new in J2EE tecnology and i am trying to get the example working so i can see the example running.
Right now i am able to run ant to build the example so i get the .war file and the other files in the "build" and "dist" directory.
I am stock in the operation concerning the database. I get to the same error weather i try "ant deploy" or "ant create-tables"... this is the message that i get:
C:\javaeetutorial5\examples\web\bookstore1>ant deploy
Buildfile: build.xml
check:
tools:
-pre-deploy:
-pre-init:
init:
check:
tools:
start-db:
[exec] Database already started on host localhost, port 1527.
[exec] Command start-database executed successfully.
delete-tables:
[sql] Executing file: C:\javaeetutorial5\examples\web\bookstore1\${db.delete.src}
BUILD FAILED
C:\javaeetutorial5\examples\web\bookstore1\build.xml:25: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\javaeetutorial5\examples\bp-project\database-ant.xml:48: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\javaeetutorial5\examples\web\boo
kstore1\${db.delete.src} (El sistema no puede hallar el archivo especificado)
Total time: 7 seconds
By the way, i am spanish thats why the error message its in spanish! :)
Its saids something about a missing file, a file that it can not be found. I dont know which one is the missing file... so i dont know what to do.
I have looked both "build.xml" and "database-ant.xml" to see if i see something, but as i told you i am need in J2EE and this is getting very difficult.
It seems very easy in the tutorial, but in practice you have to do other things to make it works. I dont know why this information it is not in the tutorial.
I really hope that somebody can help me...
Thx in advances

Its saids something about a missing file, a file that
it can not be found. I dont know which one is the
missing file... so i dont know what to do.
I have looked both "build.xml" and "database-ant.xml"
to see if i see something, but as i told you i am
need in J2EE and this is getting very difficult.The property db.delete.src is set in:
.../javaeetutorial5/examples/bp-project/javadb.properties
Check to make sure that this file exists. It should. You don't have to create it or edit it, as it is shipped with the correct properties for the tutorial.
Also, have you followed the instructions on setting javaee.home in your build.properties, as described here:
