Build Instructions

 

GWTSpringRPC has been built using Apache Ant, which can be downloaded from:

 

http://ant.apache.org

 

build.properties

 

The build file is configured with a build.properties file.  It defines:

 

• Where the source can be found
• Where the temporary build files will be placed
• Where the resulting jar file will be placed
• Where it can find required libraries, such as Google Web Toolkit, Spring Framework and Apache Commons Logging
• The resulting version number

 

The following is an example of a build.properties file, assuming that the GWTSpringRPC distribution has been extracted to the directory C:\GWTSpringRPC:

 

dir.src=C:/GWTSpringRPC/src dir.temp=C:/GWTSpringRPC/temp dir.dest=C:/GWTSpringRPC   dir.lib.gwt=C:/gwt-windows-1.4.60 dir.lib.spring=C:/spring-framework-2.0.6/dist/modules dir.lib.commons-logging=C:/commons-logging-1.1.1   version=1.0

 

In this example:

 

1. The source code is in C:\GWTSpringRPC\src
2. The directory C:\GWTSpringRPC\temp will be deleted, re-created and the .class files will be built there
3. GWTSpringRPC.jar will be placed in C:\GWTSpringRPC

 

Additionally, the build classpath will contain all jar files under the directories specified for Google Web Tooklit, Spring Framework, and Apache Commons Logging.
