With a web
application project, I get 3 default targets; the app, the application
server, and the web server. What are the application server and web server
targets all about?

The Application Server target builds a product designed to run on the application server, the server where the application code will execute. The Web Server target builds a product designed to be installed on the Web server, the server running the Web server that users connect to. These can be the same or different physical servers, so it's important that the different products can be built.


Under what circumstances would you add items to the web
server target or the actual app target?

Resources to be vended by the Web server would be included in the Web Server target. Some examples would be images that the app uses, CSS or JavaScript files, or other resources typically found in the Web server document root.


The app target is an aggregate target whose dependencies are the Application Server and Web Server targets. So when you build the app target, any changes in either the Application Server or Web Server targets will result in either of them being rebuilt. This saves the developer from remembering to rebuild either the Application Server or Web Server targets manually when a change has been made.

I have rarely added a project resource to the app target. Maybe someone else will provide an example.

Aloha,
Art
