Sample ANT-generated project

Question

Anyone know where I can download source for a simple project that uses ANT/XDoclet and is built, verified and deployed to the Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8? Ideally, such a project would house CMP beans and an application client. I've been messing around with this off an on for ages but am constantly stymied by cryptic error messages and a glacial deployment process. For the record, I'll list ANT script that I'm using and the resultant problems. Perhaps someone will immediately recognize a rookie mistake. I'd be just as happy, though, if someone could simply direct me to a functional example that I can copy and tweak. I'd love to focus on actually learning J2EE rather than struggling with configuration issues.

There are quite a few sample apps and blueprint apps that Sun provides. Have you looked at any ofThanks for the response. I looked over the Sun examples and can get them to work. I'm just not interested in manually writing so much code. Every bean seems to require a zillion files and configuration settings. XDoclet was supposed to help me avoid all the typing. I'd also like to steer clear of the deploytool; being able to do a complete build in one step is very important to me. I suppose I could compare and contrast with the functional examples but it's such slow going...
