Chapter 3 Running the ICEfaces Sample Applications
ICEfaces is bundled with three sample applications: Auction Monitor, Address Form, and Component Showcase.
If you have downloaded the binary distribution of ICEfaces, these applications are available in prebuilt WARs located at:
[install_dir]/ICEfaces-1.5-bin/icefaces/samples/
If you downloaded the source code distribution of ICEfaces, it is necessary to build the samples. This is accomplished by running ant from the [install_dir]/ICEfaces-1.5-src/icefaces/ directory. This will build all of the sample bundles and place them in the distribution directory at:
[install_dir]/ICEfaces-1.5-src/icefaces/dist/samples/
The WARs can be deployed to any supported Java Application Servers. If you are working with Tomcat, the quickest and easiest way to deploy a WAR file is to copy the file into the webapps directory of the Tomcat installation. By default, Tomcat periodically checks this directory for updates and, if it finds a new WAR file, it automatically deploys the application. Once you've copied the WAR file into webapps and Tomcat has deployed the application, you can view and interact with it by opening a web browser and typing in the appropriate URL for the application that you want to browse.
The sample applications highlight the various features and capabilities that ICEfaces technology provides.
