Hi Andrew,
Yes it is and you can see a great example of that if you download our application http://www.spearcat.com/. We have a WebObjects application with an installer that does not depends on any version of WebObjects pre-existing on the machine. We use XCode and Apple supported packaging to do that it is just that the documentation is a but flaky -:)
It you have a deployment version of WebObjects you will see that there is a series of jars in the /Library/WebObjects/lib directory. These are not the same than the jar in the Framework but an archive of the frameworks. Now if you package you frameworks the same way and copy everything in you application package /Content/Extensions these will get loaded first before any other system jars therefore overriding any installed framework on the machine. Now you can have two WO application running two version of WO without any trouble and the nice thing is that it is a "supported" feature.
Cheers
Pierre

Hello;
I'd be interested in finding out if anybody has had any luck merging a framework into an application so that deployments can be done in one hit rather than having to deploy frameworks and then the application. Also, I imagine if this were possible, I might be able to deploy different versions of a framework into different applications.
Any hints appreciated.
cheers.
