This is a simple JSF 2.0, Servlet 3.0 and Java EE JAXP example. Its purpose is to demonstrate how you can use Servlet and JSF to upload an XML file to JBoss AS7 and parse it using DOM or SAX, both of which are built in to Java.
It also shows how to use modules available in JBoss AS.
All you need to build this project is Java 6.0 (Java SDK 1.6) or better, Maven 3.0 or better.
The application this project produces is designed to be run on a JBoss AS 7 or EAP 6. The following instructions target JBoss AS 7, but they also apply to JBoss EAP 6.
With the prerequisites out of the way, you're ready to build and deploy.
First you need to start JBoss AS 7 (or EAP 6). To do this, run
$JBOSS_HOME/bin/standalone.sh
or if you are using windows
$JBOSS_HOME/bin/standalone.bat
To deploy the application, you first need to produce the archive to deploy using the following Maven goal:
mvn package
You can now deploy the artifact to JBoss AS by executing the following command:
mvn jboss-as:deploy
This will deploy target/jboss-as-xml-jaxp.war.
The application will be running at the following URL http://localhost:8080/jboss-as-xml-jaxp/.
To undeploy from JBoss AS, run this command:
mvn jboss-as:undeploy
You can also start JBoss AS 7 and deploy the project using Eclipse. See the JBoss AS 7 Getting Started Guide for Developers for more information.
If you want to be able to debug into the source code or look at the Javadocs of any library in the project, you can run either of the following two commands to pull them into your local repository. The IDE should then detect them.
mvn dependency:sources
mvn dependency:resolve -Dclassifier=javadoc
