Demo Application

I setup Broadleaf commerce with maven and built it with ant using these instructions.

I'm trying to view the demo store with the jetty-demo task but this is all I get:

Is this the expected behavior?

Thanks,

Adam,

What you are seeing looks correct. The instructions you followed are for the "Broadleaf Archetype". This is not the same as the Broadleaf Demo application.

The "Archetype" sets up a project with the structure that our team recommends for building your own custom site.

If you'd like to run the demo locally, you can check-out the code. It is available on GitHub at this address: https://github.com/BroadleafCommerce/Br ... ceDemoSite. Similar to the Archetype, you'll update your build.properties, run Maven install, and then use the Ant tasks to launch the server.

The demo site runs the Admin and Site together in a single distribution. We don't recommend this structure for production deployments; however,it may make sense for you to bring over specific demo pages and components into your own project to help you get started.
