==Production Deployment==

===Compiling Java to Javascript===

Add the following target to the ''build.xml'' file to compile the Java files into <nowiki>JavaScript</nowiki>...

<pre>
<target name="-compile-to-javascript">
<echo message="Compiling Java to JavaScript"/>
<java classpath="${run.classpath}:${basedir}/src"
classname="com.google.gwt.dev.GWTCompiler"
fork="true">
<arg value="-out"/>
<arg path="${build.dir}/www/"/>
<arg value="${application.args}"/>
<arg value="edu.umiacs.gwt.hello.HelloWorld"/>
</java>
</target>
</pre>

...replacing the last argument with the root package name and module name.

Add the following target to call the target just created:

<pre>
<target name="-post-jar" depends="-compile-to-javascript"/>
</pre>

===Web distribution directory===

Build the project and look in the ''build/www'' directory to see what has been created. Now create a target to make a distribution copy of what was built. The distribution copy will be identical to the build copy except for the following changes: The parent directory ''edu.umiacs.gwt.hello.HelloWorld'' will also be renamed to ''hello-world'' and the ''HelloWorld.html'' file will be renamed to ''index.html''. Add the following target and put in any additional cleanup tasks here:

<pre>
<target name="-www-dist">
<copy todir="${basedir}/dist/hello-world">
<fileset dir="${basedir}/build/www/edu.umiacs.gwt.hello.HelloWorld"/>
</copy>
<move file="${basedir}/dist/hello-world/HelloWorld.html"
toFile="${basedir}/dist/hello-world/index.html"/>
</target>
</pre>

Modify the ''-post-jar'' target to depend on this new target:

<pre>
<target name="-post-jar" depends="-compile-to-javascript,-www-dist"/>
</pre>

Build the project, and using your web browser of choice, open up the ''index.html'' file in ''dist/hello-world''.

===Creating a WAR file===

In the root package, create a ''web.xml'' file that contains the following:

<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app>
</web-app>
</pre>

Create a new target to build the WAR file:

<pre>
<target name="-war-dist">
<war destfile="dist/hello-world.war" webxml="src/edu/umiacs/gwt/hello/web.xml">
<fileset dir="dist/hello-world"/>
</war>
</target>
</pre>

Modify the ''-post-jar'' target to depend on this new target:

<pre>
<target name="-post-jar" depends="-compile-to-javascript,-www-dist,-war-dist"/>
</pre>

Build the project, copy the generated WAR file in ''dist'' to a ''webapps'' directory and meow like a tomcat.
