This is such a fun part of WOLips!
I think you are using the Fluffy Bunny layout. That flattens
resources automatically. If you want WebServerResources/jpg/
wombat.jpg (instead of WebServerResources/wombat.jpg) in the built
project, flattening is not what you want.

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
I _think_ you want to change all that to just
WebServerResources/**/*
This file was not mentioned in the wsresources node of my build.xml,
That is because Fluffy Bunnies don't like the aggravation of that
file. And everyone likes a fluffy bunny!
so I hand-edited it. It looks like this now:
<wsresources dir="WebServerResources">
dir="WebServerResources" triggers the flattening (IIRC) Change that to
<wsresources dir=".">
<patternset>
<includesfile name="woproject/wsresources.include.patternset" />
<include name="**/*" />
<exclude name="CVS" />
<exclude name=".svn" />
<excludesfile name="woproject/wsresources.exclude.patternset" />
</patternset>
</wsresources>
Or just dispense with that nutty pattern file and try this in the
build.xml:
<wsresources dir=".">
<patternset>
<include name="WebServerResources/**/*" />
<exclude name="CVS" />
<exclude name=".svn" />
</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?
I'm not 100% that any of that will work, but it should put you on the
right track.
