This document provides step-by-step instructions for building the GreenPages application with dm Server and the SpringSource Tools Suite. In addition, the complete application is available and can be built and installed into dm Server.
To get the completed GreenPages application and the starter projects to build GreenPages by steps:
download the latest ZIP file from
http://dist.springframework.org/release/DMSS/greenpages-2.0.0.RELEASE.zip
extract all the files from the ZIP file to a convenient directory (preserving the directory structure).
To extract the files on Windows:
prompt> mkdir c:\springsource\samples prompt> cd c:\springsource\samples prompt> jar xf c:\path\to\greenpages-2.0.0.RELEASE.zip prompt> set GREENPAGES_HOME=c:\springsource\samples\greenpages-2.0.0.RELEASE
To extract the files on Unix systems:
prompt$ mkdir -p /opt/springsource/samples prompt$ cd /opt/springsource/samples prompt$ unzip /path/to/greenpages-2.0.0.RELEASE.zip prompt$ export GREENPAGES_HOME=/opt/springsource/samples/greenpages-2.0.0.RELEASE
The environment variable GREENPAGES_HOME set here is not used by the projects, but is used as a shorthand
in the instructions that follow.
The GreenPages zip file contains two main directories called solution and start.
The solution directory contains the completed application which can be built and tested (as described in the next section).
The start directory contains the initial skeleton of the GreenPages application upon which the step-by-step
creation instructions build.
To follow the step-by-step instructions read Chapter 4, The Web Module.
