Re. J2EE Tutorial - Setting

Question

Hi,
I am familiar to J2EE, but new to the new technlogies & working wth IDEs. I know this is not the right forum for my question, but i didn't find the best forum for my question. I have put the same question in J2EE SDK, so please ignore in that forum.
I am learning with J2EE Tutorial with NetBeans. I create the examples on myself as mentioned in the tutorial. Currently, i m working on savingsAccount EJB. My problem is, on creating DB.
I write
asant -buildfile create-db.xmlas mentioned in tutorial.
My root folder is D:\Trupti\Tutorials\J2EE-NB TUTORIAL\Projects
I copied the common.properties & database.properties in my root folder. I needed to change my appserv folder, i did. Now still what is missing, y does it give this error msg. Where am i going wrong. If anybody can help would be really appreciative.
On Dos prompt it gives as -
D:\Trupti\Tutorials\J2EE-NB TUTORIAL\Projects\savingsAccount>asant -buildfile cr
eate-db.xml
Buildfile: create-db.xml
startDB:

Answer 1

Well Lan, Yes I am using J2EE 1.4 Tutorial with Netbeans Version - the tutorial is specially designed to work with NetBeans & Sun AppSer.
The tutorial says to run this command on command line. Here is the
text from the tutorial that explains steps to create database:-
Running the SavingsAccount Example
Before you run this example, you have to create the database and deploy the
SavingsAccount.jar file.
Creating the Sample Database
The instructions that follow explain how to use the SavingsAccountBean example
with PointBase, the database software that is included in the Application
Server bundle.
1. In the IDE, choose Tools��PointBase Database��Start Local PointBase Database.
2. Create the database tables by running the create.sql script.
a. Make sure that the appsrv.root property in your
<INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/ file points to the location of
your local Application Server installation. ********* HERE MY FOLDER POINTS TO THE SERVER ************
b. In a terminal window, go to this directory:
<INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/ejb/savingsaccount/
c. Type the following command, which runs the create.sql script:
asant -buildfile create-db.xml
3. In the Runtime window, expand the Databases node, right-click the
jdbc:pointbase:server://localhost:9092/sun-appserv-samples
node, and choose Connect. Type pbpublic as the password and click OK.
Once the connection is established, expand the connection node�fs Tables node. There should be a node for the SAVINGSACCOUNT table.
iS THEIR ANY OTHER WAY to run the create.sql script directly.
Thanks
