Publisher review:JGUP is a code generation tool for getting a head start on a new Servlet/JSP web application project. You need to run it once and then customize the code further.
You need to supply a XML file describing the web application and JGUP outputs a project source tree.
The generated source tree includes:
- DDL for creating the db tables.
- Java classes for persisting the business objects to the database.
- JSP and Servlets for an web user interface.
- JUnit test cases.
- Ant build file for compiling the project and creating War files.
Installation with example
- First download jgup.zip and unzip it.
- CD to the jgup directory.
- Edit the bookstore.xml file, setting the , , and to a test database where that login has the authority to create tables.
- To generate the bookstore example project enter: ant -DprojectXmlFile=bookstore.xml .
- A source directory called ../bookstoreProject will be created (alongside jgup ). The bookstore's tables will be created on the test db given. Assuming a Oracle JDBC driver is available in the class path. By default the JGUP build.xml file adds C:eaweblogic81serverlibweblogic.jar, which contains an Oracle thin driver. If Weblogic is installed elsewhere change this setting in the tag of build.xml.
- CD to the project source tree. cd ../bookstoreProject
- Do: ant -deployExplodedWebApp
- By default the bookstore example assumes that your working on a Windows PC and have installed Weblogic 8 to C:ea and have set up a WebLogic domain called "mydomain". To change these assumptions you need to edit the bookstore.xml file and the change the and the lines.
- The generated code will look for a data source named "bookstoreDataSource". Set up a database connection pool, under WebLogic, to your development database. Point the "bookstoreDataSource" at this pool. This is the same test db that your , , and tags point to.
- To test your Web Application go to URL: http://localhost:7001/bookstore/ProjectOverview
Requirements: · Apache Ant build tool · Weblogic 8
