Demo At A GlanceThe early access 3 version of the Adventure Builder demo consists of the following high level components:
Using the Adventure Builder Web SiteAccessing the Adventure Builder Web SiteUsing a browser, access the following URL:Click the "Start an adventure" link. Note that if the J2EE server is not running on localhost, you need to replace "localhost" in the URL listed above with the name of server where J2EE is running. And also if you had chosen a different port for the server, you need to replace "1024" in the URL listed above with the port of your choice. Browsing the Adventure Builder Web Site And Choosing an AdventureThe home page of the Adventure Builder Web site gives an array of choices for different categories of available adventures. Clicking these major categories of adventures displays the specific adventure packages available for the chosen category. Each adventure is pre-packaged--that is, each has a default set of lodging and activities. Click the adventure package of interest to display the details of the adventure along with the default lodging and activities available with the package.Click the link "Purchase Package" to go to a Web page where you are asked to enter package details such as the number of people, number of days, start date, and number of rooms. Once you choose these details and click "Continue" a subsequent page lets you specify the city of origin and choose the mode of transport to the adventure locale. If you plan to arrange your own transportation, you may do so in this same page. You may also choose from a set of available flights. Changing Cart ContentsWhen you complete the above steps, you see a summary of the package you have chosen. You can either make more changes (using the links provided) or choose to confirm the purchase of the adventure package. The Web site allows you to change the number of nights lodging, the number of people per activity, and the type of lodging, activity, and transportation mode. If you want to change the number of people or number of days, choose the appropriate fields in the "Summary" screen and click the "update" button. If you want to change the Lodging / Activities / Transportation details, you may do so using the appropriate links provided.Booking Your VacationOnce you have finalized the contents of your adventure package, book your vacation by clicking the "Checkout" link. Clicking this link places your reservation for confirmation with the Order Processing (OPC) component. If you have not yet signed in, you will first have to sign in (and possibly create a new account) before placing your reservation for confirmation with the OPC. When you place your reservation, you get an order id for your reference. Remember that the OPC will try its best to satisfy your order. If even one of the choices of your order cannot be confirmed, your order will not go through, and you will be notifed via email.Tracking Order StatusTrack the status of your order by clicking the "Track Order" Link on the top left of the page and entering the order ID.Sign in or Create New AccountTo sign in as an existing user or create a new user account, click the "Account" link available at the top left corner of your browser window.
