This  directory contains the  example code  for Java  Programming with
CORBA,  3rd  ed.  All code  has  been  run  on  either JacORB  1.2  or
VisiBroker 4,  most of it has been  tested on both ORBs.  

To build the examples, each directory contains a "build.xml" file that
is required by the platform-independent  build tools "Ant".  Ant is an
XML-based    build    utility    and    is   freely    available    at
http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/.   To build the  examples, you  need to
install Ant 1.2 on your platform and to edit the file "ant-properties"
in this  directory to reflect  your local installations.  

The build  files usually  also provide a  simple, platform-independent
way  of starting  clients and  servers.  In most  cases, "ant  server"
starts   a  server,   and  "ant   client"  starts   the  corresponding
client. Please have a look at the build files.

Example HTML  pages for applets  are written to run  with appletviewer
and JacORB.  In their current  form, no IIOP gateway  configuration is
required if your JacORB properties file has set 
jacorb.use_appligator_for_applets=off.

The examples in  chapter 3 include a servlet  example.  To compile the
Servlet  example,   you  need  Sun's  JSDK,  which   is  available  at
http://java.sun.com.  To run it, you  need to install the Servlet in a
servlet-enabled  web server  like Jigsaw.  Alternatively, you  can use
Sun's servletrunner, which comes with the JSDK.
