How to run javaee7 sdk samples?

Question

My teacher want me to run javaee7 sdk sample "annotation-war". Then I download the javaee7 sdk from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/downloads/index.html. But, I don't know how to run it.

I have tried the following steps:

First, I import code into Intelij IDEA, and run mvn cargo:run, but some error happen

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101\bin\java" -Dmaven.multiModuleProjectDirectory=C:\zjf\code\IDEA\javaee_samples\servlet\annotation-war -Dmaven.home=C:\zjf\soft\apache-maven-3.3.9 -Dclassworlds.conf=C:\zjf\soft\apache-maven-3.3.9\bin\m2.conf -Didea.launcher.port=7532 "-Didea.launcher.bin.path=C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 2016.3\bin" -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -classpath "C:\zjf\soft\apache-maven-3.3.9\boot\plexus-classworlds-2.5.2.jar;C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 2016.3\lib\idea_rt.jar" com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher -Didea.version=2016.3 -s C:\zjf\soft\apache-maven-3.3.9\conf\settings.xml -Dmaven.repo.local=C:\zjf\soft\apache-maven-3.3.9\repo org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-plugin:1.4.0:run

Then I think may be I have done the wrong thing, so I read the docs in "annotation-war". It's ok to run mvn clean and mvn verify. But when I run mvn cargo:run -Dglassfish.home=C:\zjf\soft\glassfish, I still encounter the same problem:

I really don't know how to run javaee SDK samples. Can anyone who know how to run it give me some help?

Answer 1

The simplest way to get it running is to first build the project with mvn install which will output a WAR file. The bottom of the log will tell you the full, absolute path to the WAR file. the install Maven goal will also put copy it to your local repository which is managed by Maven, so you will see two different paths to the same WAR file. Either of these works, e.g:

/path/to/my/app/target/annotation-war-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war

You can then use the asadmin tool in GlassFish to deploy the WAR file, first making sure GlassFish is running:

C:\zjf\soft\glassfish\glassfish4\bin\asadmin start-domain
C:\zjf\soft\glassfish\glassfish4\bin\asadmin deploy /path/to/my/app/target/annotation-war-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war

This isn't the only way to get it running (there are many) but you may find this is the easiest to undestand, with the fewest things that might go wrong, despite it being a bit long-winded.
