12.1. Example Code

This chapter is example-driven. We will work with the crime portal application which stores information about imaginary criminal organizations. The data model we will be working with is shown in Figure 12.1, “The crime portal example classes”.

Figure 12.1. The crime portal example classes

The source code for the crime portal is available in the src/main/org/jboss/cmp2 directory of the example code. To build the example code, run Ant as shown below. This command builds and deploys the application to the JBoss server. Be sure the JBoss server dist locations are correctly defined or overridden using a local ant.properties file.

[examples]$ ant -Dchap=cmp2 config

When you start your JBoss server, or if it is already running, you should see the following deployment messages:

Since the beans in the examples are configured to have their tables removed on undeployment, anytime you restart the JBoss server you need to rerun the config target to reload the example data and re-deploy the application.
