The Example JSP Document

This chapter uses the Duke's Bookstore and books applications to demonstrate how to write JSP pages in XML syntax. The JSP pages of the bookstore5 application use the JSTL XML tags (see XML Tag Library) to manipulate the book data from an XML stream. The books application contains the JSP document books.jspx, which accesses the book data from the database and converts it into the XML stream. The bookstore5 application accesses this XML stream to get the book data.

These applications show how easy it is to generate XML data and stream it between web applications. The books application can be considered the application hosted by the book warehouse's server. The bookstore5 application can be considered the application hosted by the book retailer's server. In this way, the customer of the bookstore web site sees the list of books currently available, according to the warehouse's database.

The source for the Duke's Bookstore application is located in the <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/bookstore5/ directory, which is created when you unzip the tutorial bundle (see About the Examples). Sample bookstore5.war and books.war files are provided in <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/provided-wars/.

To build the Duke's Bookstore application, follow these steps:

  1. Build and package the bookstore common files as described in Duke's Bookstore Examples.
  2. In a terminal window, go to <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/bookstore5/.

  1. Run asant create-bookstore-war.
  2. Run asant deploy-war.
