I'm migrating an old WebObjects application from XCode to WOLips
(version 3.3.4760). Using the WOLips wizard, I've created an empty
WebObjects application and copied all the Java code, components, and
EOModel into the appropriate directories, and configured the build
path as necessary. The application builds, launches, and fetches
from the database. But none of the images show up.
In other applications, we usually serve an image by storing it
externally, with a symbolic link to its directory from just under /
Library/WebServer/Documents/, and displaying it using the WOImage
"src" binding with the corresponding absolute URL. But the
application I'm porting keeps the images in its project, using the
WOImage "filename" binding and relying on WOResourceManager to find
them.
I have, for example, a WOImage on the front page, with a filename
binding: filename = "wombat.jpg".
If I put wombat.jpg into the top-level project directory, the image
appears when I run the application. If I put it in
WebServerResources, it does not. The project I'm porting has an
existing static resource directory structure, with subdirectories
such as "gif" and "jpg" and "css". When I put this jpg where I
*really* want it--at WebServerResources/jpg/wombat.jpg--it definitely
doesn't show up!
With the resources where I really want them, I have right-clicked on
WebServerResources, on jpg, and even on the individual .jpg (using
"add all files with extension") , and chosen WOLips Tools --> Include
As WebServerResource. My wsresources.include.patternset:
WebServerResources/**/*
**/WebServerResources
**/css
**/gif
**/gimp
**/html
**/jpg
**/js
**/xml
**/*.jpg
This file was not mentioned in the wsresources node of my build.xml,
so I hand-edited it. It looks like this now:
<wsresources dir="WebServerResources">
<patternset>
<includesfile name="woproject/wsresources.include.patternset" />
<include name="**/*" />
<exclude name="CVS" />
<exclude name=".svn" />
<excludesfile name="woproject/wsresources.exclude.patternset" />
</patternset>
</wsresources>
I also tried adding <include name="*.jpg"/>, <include name="jpg/
*.jpg"/>, <include name="**/*.jpg"/>, and <include
name="WebServerResources/jpg/*.jpg"/>.
But no matter what I do, the images just don't show up!
I right-clicked on WebServerResources and brought up Properties and
made sure that "Executable" was checked. I looked inside my built
copy of the application, and the resources are there, although I did
note a duplicate "WebServerResources" in the path--that is, my jpg is
at build/marsupials.woa/Contents/WebServerResources/
WebServerResources/jpg/wombat.jpg. I tried manually "correcting"
this error, so that this image was at build/marsupials.woa/Contents/
WebServerResources/jpg/wombat.jpg, and reran the application, but the
image still doesn't appear.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
