WEB CLIENT in Duke�s Bank Application

Question

Hi, I have a problem with running the WEB CLIENT in Duke�s Bank Application.
First about the VERSIONs:
I downloaded
"The Java EE 5 Tutorial" For Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9, dated: June 16 2006
The source for the tutorial examples is obtained from the above mentioned "The Java EE 5 Tutorial" online, when on that page click on "Download". The downloaded file is
javaee-5-doc-tutorial-1[1].0_01.
I am running Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9.0 (build b48).
I am referring to what happens when I follow the instructions on pages 1209-1213 of the manual
After you have read the description of the problem, please see below for output from running:
ant create-tables
ant
ant deploy
which I did according to the tutorial. Also I created the users according to the tutorial.
As you can see below,
ant reported �dukesbank-war\src\conf\persistence.xml� missing
Could someone please explain why (and whether that is the reason for my problems).
This seems significant (though I am an absolute beginner in J2EE and may be wrong). Would it be possible that the file �dukesbank-war\src\conf\persistence.xml� mistakenly was not included in the zipped source code file?
APPLICATION CLIENT it would seem runs okay. I could log on as bankadmin, create a new customer.
WEB CLIENT
First of all the manual says the url is
http://localhost:1189/dukesbank/main.faces
but the url that works is
http://localhost:1189/dukesbank-war/main.faces
Is that just a small inaccuracy in the manual, or there is more to it?
Now for the problem:
I do get the page �Please enter your customer ID and password and click Submit�
If I enter the user 200 (the one created as per the tutorial), I get:
HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied
type Status report
message Access to the requested resource has been denied
description Access to the specified resource (Access to the requested resource has been denied) has been forbidden.
Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9.0
However, if I enter a non-existing user I get the page �dukesbank-war/j_security_check � which tells me:
�Please check your customer ID and password.�
�. Which is of course a correct response. (I would get the same response with the correct user 200 but incorrect password, which also makes sense)
So, what is the problem when I use a correct user name and password, why can't I proceed?

So please do try this all and respond. If you have ever got Duke's Bank WEB CLIENT going on any other version of j2EE tutorial or application server please let me know too, I am happy to go to a previous version!

Answer 1

As you can see below,
ant reported �dukesbank-war\src\conf\persistence.xml�
missing
Could someone please explain why (and whether that is
the reason for my problems).
This seems significant (though I am an absolute
beginner in J2EE and may be wrong). Would it be
possible that the file
�dukesbank-war\src\conf\persistence.xml� mistakenly
was not included in the zipped source code file?You can ignore that warning message. It's part of the BluePrints build system, which checks to see if you have persistence.xml in your WAR so it can package it. The persistence unit is in in the EJB JAR for Duke's Bank:
javaeetutorial5/examples/dukesbank/dukesbank-ejb/src/conf/persistence.xml
First of all the manual says the url is
http://localhost:1189/dukesbank/main.faces
but the url that works is
http://localhost:1189/dukesbank-war/main.faces
Is that just a small inaccuracy in the manual, or
there is more to it? Actually, in "Running the Web Client" the page is:
http://localhost:8080/bank/main.faces
So in your case it should be:
http://localhost:1189/bank/main.faces
Try that URL instead, and see if you get the same error.
