IBM Workplace Client Technology Micro Edition Version 5.7.1: Application Development and Case Study

226 WCTME: Application Development and Case Study

We updated the imports section of the Web application’s manifest file to record

our dependencies on those bundles and Java classes.

After updating the servlet logic to connect to the bundles, the same code from

our tester bundle, to see the init() method, and to access the other bundles

appropriately when the application’s buttons are selected, see doGet(), and then

adding the login and configure panels, we have a completed sample application

in stand-alone mode.

7.5 Running the completed Web application

You can now run the completed sample application. Navigate into the

ITSORentalsWebApplicationBundle project and select the

CheckInAndSync.java file, right-click and select Run on Server....

See section 2.2, “Running the sample application” on page 25 on steps for

running the sample application.

Note: The steps to synchronize the application’s local database tables with the

sync server will be added in Chapter 10, “DB2e synchronization” on page 271.

The implementation of the device management service will not be covered until

Chapter 11, “Device management” on page 317.

7.6 Troubleshooting

This section covers various tips on how to handle some problems you might run

into, as well as ways to extend the testing of the application.

If when you start the sample application the Web paged does display, make sure

you select the Java servlet file CheckInAndSync when you select Run on

Server. The web application URL is:

http://localhost:(port)/ITSORentals/CheckInAndSync

For a PocketPC, use this Web address:

http://127.0.0.1/ITSORentals/CheckInAndSync

To avoid conflicts, make sure to stop any other Web servers, bundle servers and

runtimes that might be competing for the same ports.

When running the application, the console will display any exception that the

application might throw. For example; before the first sync or creation of sample

data, the getPendingCustomers() and getArrivedCustomers() calls will throw

exceptions because the database tables do not exist yet.
