DWR is primarily built using ant. The important ant targets are:
- clean: Removes target files and .DS_Store files left around by OSX
- jar: Create a new dwr.jar file
- war: Create a clean unpacked demo war file for tomcat/jetty/etc
- package: Build a set of output .zip files for distribution
The DWR build system can be adapted to create outputs containing different modules (see Terminology) so it is simple to create a dwr.jar file that contains exactly the modules that you need. See the 'modules' property and the execution of the 'build' macrodef.
The ant outputs are stored in dwr/target/ant.
Module: DWR is made up of a number of modules. The idea is that these modules are as independent as possible. Spring integration is an example of a module. The modules are grouped into four areas: core, protocol, serverside, ui
- core: The heart of DWR
- api: All the important interfaces and classes for users and integrators
- impl: Implementations of the interface points, of use most to DWR developers
- legacy: For backwards compatibility
- protocol: A set of ways of talking to the network
- serverside: Integrations with various server-side technologies
- ui: Integrations with various user interface technologies
Each module may contain a number of source trees. One for test, one for demos, one for the main sources and maybe one for generated code. The module may also contain a web directory to be merged into an output war file.
