Note for Mac OS X users:
In order to get the code to compile on Mac OS X using the ant build scripts, the 
j2ee14_properties.properties and the tomcat_properties.properties need to have the property value for
(j2ee14 file) 
WSCOMPILE=${WSROOT}/bin/wscompile 
changed to
WSCOMPILE=${WSROOT}/bin/wscompile.sh 
and (tomcat file)
WSCOMPILE=${JAXRPC_HOME}/bin/wscompile 
changed to
WSCOMPILE=${JAXRPC_HOME}/bin/wscompile.sh

WSDEPLOY=${JAXRPC_HOME}/bin/wsdeploy
must be changed to
WSDEPLOY=${JAXRPC_HOME}/bin/wsdeploy.sh


Note: 8/8/03
Example ant build files are busted using J2EE 1.4 reference implementation beta 2
because of dependency upon lib/endorsed which no longer exists.

The problem can be fixed simply by changing the following lines in the
common\buildsetup.xml file:

<!-- Classpath uses the J2EE runtime -->
<path id="basic.classpath">
    <fileset dir="${J2EEROOT}/lib" includes="j2ee.jar"/>
    <fileset dir="${J2EEROOT}/lib/endorsed" includes="**/*.jar"/>
</path>

to this:

<!-- Classpath uses the J2EE runtime -->
<path id="basic.classpath">
    <fileset dir="${J2EEROOT}/lib" includes="j2ee.jar"/>
</path>


Note:
On both Windows XP and Mac OS X, I've not been able to get the build script for
chapter 1 running without adding catalina-ant.jar to the ANT_HOME/lib directory.  The
build script calls an ant task that is dependent upon the catalina-ant.jar file being
in the ant classpath.  The easiest way to resolve it is to copy it there as per
above.
