Batch Files and Shell Scripts for Building and Running Samples in the Web Services SDK
The vSphere Web Services SDK includes several batch files for Windows and shell scripts for Linux that facilitate building and running the sample applications.
Some of the batch files are used by other batch files. For example, build.bat calls the lcp.bat and clean.bat scripts. If you modify the batch files for any reason, be aware of the dependencies among them.
| Filename | Description | Usage note |
|---|---|---|
| build.bat
build.sh |
Checks for environment variable JAVAHOME and sets PATH, using the JAVAHOME variable. Cleans up existing Java files (by calling clean.bat or clean.sh). build.bat sets the local classpath (by calling lcp.bat). Creates the vim25.jar, and samples.jar files. | Use this script to generate client stubs and rebuild all sample applications. Use the -w flag to recompile without regenerating stubs. |
| lcp.bat | Sets the local classpath on the workstation. Called by build.bat and by run.bat. | Optional. Use to set local classpath. |
| run.bat
run.sh |
Batch file that enables running any of the sample applications. Sets the Java trustStore property to the local trust store and invokes the Java runtime with the name of the application passed as a parameter. | Use this script to run any Java sample applications. |
| clean.bat | Removes any existing artifacts before building the samples, deleting Java class files in the samples packages and samples.jar file. Called by build script. | Optional. Deletes all generated source code files. |
