Running Jboss examples

Question

Hi,
I've successfully installed jboss and ant.
I've downloaded and unpacked the examples.
Anyways when I tried to execute the Interest example by typing the ant command intro-interest-jar I had this problem:
Buildfile: build.xml
validate-servlet:
validate-jboss:
fail_if_not_valid:
init:
[echo] Using JBoss directory=/export/dbms/pub/cervel/JBoss-2.4.3
[echo] Using base
classpath=/export/dbms/pub/cervel/JBoss-2.4.3/client/jboss-j2ee.jar:/export/dbms/pub/cervel/JBoss-2.4.3/client/jaas.jar:/export/dbms/pub/cervel/JBoss-2.4.3/client/jbosssx-client.jar:/export/dbms/pub/cervel/JBoss-2.4.3/client/jboss-client.jar:/export/dbms/pub/cervel/JBoss-2.4.3/client/jnp-client.jar:/export/dbms/pub/cervel/examples/COULD_NOT_FIND_SERVLET_JAR
[echo] Using Source directory=/export/dbms/pub/cervel/examples
[echo] Using Build directory=/export/dbms/pub/cervel/examples/build-examples
intro-interest-jar:
compile:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file to /export/dbms/pub/cervel/examples/build-examples/interest/classes
[javac] /export/dbms/pub/cervel/examples/org/jboss/docs/interest/InterestClient.java:4: Class javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject not found in import.
[javac] import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;
[javac] ^
[javac] 1 error
BUILD FAILED
/export/dbms/pub/cervel/examples/org/jboss/docs/interest/build.xml:17: Compile failed, messages should have been provided.
Total time: 3 seconds
I have the jdk 1.3.0 installed and I tested the existance of the javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject with a simple class (had no compiling problems)
Can someone help me out?
Thanks in advance

point the 'servlet.jar' to right place.
Like in my situation:
<target name="validate-servlet">
<!-- Override with your web server servlet jar location.
The default assumes that JBOSS_DIST points to a
JBoss/Tomcat bundle distribution
-->
<!--
<available property="servlet.jar" value="${env.JBOSS_DIST}/../tomcat/lib/servlet.jar" file="${env.JBOSS_DIST}/../tomcat/lib/servlet.jar"/>
-->
<available property="servlet.jar" value="${env.JBOSS_DIST}/server/tomcat41/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat41.sar/servlet.jar" file="${env.JBOSS_DIST}/server/tomcat41/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat41.sar/servlet.jar"/>
<available property="servlet.jar" value="${env.JBOSS_DIST}/../jetty/lib/javax.servlet.jar" file="${env.JBOSS_DIST}/../jetty/lib/javax.servlet.jar"/>
<available property="servlet.jar" value="${env.JBOSS_DIST}/../catalina/common/lib/servlet.jar" file="${env.JBOSS_DIST}/../catalina/common/lib/servlet.jar"/>
<available property="servlet.jar" value="${env.JBOSS_DIST}/../catalina/common/lib/servlet.jar" file="${env.TOMCAT_HOME}/lib/servlet.jar"/>
<property name="servlet.jar" value="COULD_NOT_FIND_SERVLET_JAR"/>
<path id="base.path_22">
<pathelement location="${jboss.dist}/client/ejb.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${jboss.dist}/client/jaas.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${jboss.dist}/client/jbosssx-client.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${jboss.dist}/client/jboss-client.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${jboss.dist}/client/jnp-client.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${servlet.jar}"/>
</path>
<!-- commented out oroginal

-->
<path id="base.path_325">
<pathelement location="${jboss.dist}/client/jboss-j2ee.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${jboss.dist}/client/jboss-jaas.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${jboss.dist}/client/jbosssx-client.jar"/>
     <pathelement location="${jboss.dist}/client/jboss-client.jar"/>
     <pathelement location="${jboss.dist}/client/jnp-client.jar"/>
     <pathelement location="${jboss.dist}/client/jbossall-client.jar"/>
     <pathelement location="${jboss.dist}/client/log4j.jar"/>
     <pathelement location="${servlet.jar}"/>
</path>
So, that's all you need to change for the build.xml in examples/build/ directory.
And in the build.xml in the ''org/jboss/docs/interest" directory, you need to change the 'deploy' directory as well if you're using JBoss3.x, i.e., use: ${JBOSS_DIST}/server/default/deploy not ${JBOSS_DIST}/deploy
Last thing you need to change later, in the 'org/jboss/docs/interest/InterestClient.java' source code, you want to add such import:
import javax.naming.Context;
Then after these change, you should be able to run in this order in the examples/build/ directory:
ant intro-interest-jar
ant intro-interest-deploy
ant intr-interest-client
I got this solution by googling a lot. Hope you enjoy it.
