Maven: The Definitive Guide

Running the Web Application

To run the web application, you’ll first need to build the database using the Hibernate3 plugin. To do this, run the following from the simple-webapp project directory:

$ mvn hibernate3:hbm2ddl
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'hibernate3'.
[INFO] org.codehaus.mojo: checking for updates from central
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Building Chapter 7 Simple Web Application
[INFO]    task-segment: [hibernate3:hbm2ddl]
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Preparing hibernate3:hbm2ddl
...
10:24:56,151  INFO org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport - schema\
          export complete
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESSFUL
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------

Once you’ve done this, there should be a ${basedir}/data directory that will contain the HSQLDB database. You can then start the web application with:

$ mvn jetty:run [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'jetty'.
