Seasar - DI Container with AOP -

Getting Ready to Use Seasar by H.Ozawa

This tutorial uses Java version of Seasar. Follow this steps to install JDK if you have not installed JDK in your computer yet.

Seasar download package comes with Seasar source files. In most most cases including in these tutorial they are not necessary. To setup Seasar to just use it in your application developement, follow the steps below:

Download Seasar from here. To just get started, only file "S2Container xxx", where "xxx" is the current available version number, is necessary
To just use Seasar, only the following files are necessary. Just extract these files. Examples in this tutorial assume these files were extracted to C:\seasar2\lib folder. If they were extracted to a different folder, you'll need to change some codes in the example. Caution: Version number included in the file may differ depending of version of Seasar you're using.
```
javassist-3.0.jar
commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
geronimo-j2ee_1.4_spec-1.0.jar
log4j-1.2.8.jar
ognl-2.6.5.jar
aopalliance-1.0.jar
servlet-api.jar
s2-framework-2.3.0.jar
```
Also, extract the file below to some directory such as C:\seasar2\resources.
```
log4j.properties
aop.dicon
```
Additionally, extract the following files because they are required to use default Seasar aspect like logging. Extract the files with the jar files in the same folder as where the required "jar" files were extracted and extract files with extension "dicon" to the folder where "log4j.properties" where extracted.
```
junit-3.8.1.jar
poi-2.5-final-20040804.jar
s2-extension-2.x.x.jar
geronimo-jta_1.0.1B_spec-1.0.jar
geronimo-ejb_2.1_spec-1.0.jar
```
Also, extract the file below to some directory such as C:\seasar2\resources.
```
jdbc.dicon
```
Set CLASSPATH to these files in your environment or in your execution script file (e.g. .bat or .sh file).
We are all set to start the tutorial. Let's start.
