## Building, Deploying, and Running the Application

Perform the following steps to build, deploy, and run the application:

1. Set up your build environment and configure the application server with which the build system has to work by following the common build instructions.
2. `app_dir` is the sample application base directory:`samples_install_dir/javaee6/web/jsf/basic-ajax/`.
3. ````Change directory to `app_dir.
   `
4. Build, deploy, and run the sample application using the `all` target.``

`app_dir> ant all`

You can replace the `ant all` command with the following set of commands:

`app_dir> ant default` compiles and packages the application

`app_dir> ant deploy` deploys it to application server

`app_dir> ant run` runs the test java client

5. Use the target clean to undeploy the sample application and to remove the temporary directories such as build and dist.

   `app_dir> ant clean`

## Building, Deploying, and Running the Application in NetBeans IDE

Perform the following steps to build, deploy, and run the application using NetBeans IDE:

1. Refer to the common build instructions for setting up NetBeans IDE and Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server.
2. In the NetBeans IDE, choose File → Open Project (Ctrl-Shift-O), navigate to the `samples_install_dir/javaee6/web/jsf/` directory, select `basic-ajax`, and click Open Project.
3. In the Projects tab, right click `basic-ajax` and select Run to build, deploy, and run the project.

## Troubleshooting

If you have problems when running the application, refer the troubleshooting document.
