In response to an email request, I’ve added a README.txt file to SimpleBean.zip to indicate how to use the build.xml file and what the output looks like.

Here it is for those who don’t want to grab the zip file for just one file:

How to Test the SimpleBean Class
--------------------------------
1. Edit build.xml file to customize the properties at the beginning of the file.

2. Create an environmental variable called JBOSS_HOME that points to the
installation directory of JBOSS.

	set JBOSS_HOME=D:\java\support\jboss-3.0.6_tomcat-4.1.18   # example
	set JBOSS_CONFIG=test

3. Create a clone of the %JBOSS_HOME%/server/default directory so that we don't
affect the standard installation.

	xcopy
	  %JBOSS_HOME%\server\default
	  %JBOSS_HOME%\server\%JBOSS_CONFIG%
	  /E /I /F

4. Start JBOSS from the DOS command-line.

	%JBOSS_HOME%/bin/run.bat -c test

5. Deploy the bean to JBoss using the "deploy" task. Note that I changed the
log4j options of JBoss so that the SQL statements that it executes are
displayed on the console as DEBUG messages.

6. Run the SimpleBeanClient program. I run it using the
Run->Run As->Java Application menu option of Eclipse. For some reason, I am
unable to run it from Ant because I get the following error:

     [java] java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class
     org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ExecuteJava can not access a member of
     class com.affy.client.SimpleBeanClient with modifiers "public static"

I don't want to take time to figure out what's wrong, so I'm content to run
the client from inside Eclipse. After all, the IDE should make my life easier, no?

Here is the output of the client program:

	ID: 446ced64c0a822650064160eae80b6fd
	ID: 446ced64c0a822650064160eae80b6fd
	Done.

The ID displayed by your execution of the program will, of course, be
different.

7. That's it. Have Fun!
