I am using WO 5.2 on Mac OS X 10.3 and XCode 1.5. I am developing on one machine, and deploying it on another. Both machines are running OS X 10.3 client.
This is identical to my development and deployment environment.
I previously deployed an earlier version of this site successfully. Yesterday, I made some changes, that worked on the development machine, but when I changed XCode to "Deployment" style this morning, I got an error stating that there was no executable. Even switching back to "Development" did not help. I needed to restart the computer to get "Development" to properly compile and run the site.
I can't explain your experience, but I have never had a similar experience. However, my development and deployment process differs somewhat from yours.
I develop using Xcode's GUI app. When an app or framework is ready to deploy, I delete any previous installations in /Library/WebObjects/Applications, /Library/WebServer/Documents, /Library/Frameworks, and /Library/WebServer/Documents/Frameworks. This is probably not necessary, but I'm not confident that a new installation will eliminate all traces of a previous installation.
To install Deployment and WebServer versions on my development system, I use Xcode's command-line interface in a shell script, xcodeinstall:
#! /bin/sh
sudo xcodebuild install -buildstyle Deployment DSTROOT=/
sudo xcodebuild install -buildstyle WebServer DSTROOT=/
I test this deployment on my development system using apache. If it works correctly, I create zip or tgz archives of each installed product, transfer them to my deployment system, and unarchive each archive.
This process has always worked for me.
I got this error on one of the subcomponents (Admin):
Error:
java.lang.NullPointerException
Reason:

I've seen this very uninformative error message during development occasionally. I have always been able to solve the problem, probably by running the app under the debugger. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the details.
Aloha,
Art
