Lachlan,
Thanks. I created a webobjects framework and moved a single jar into
it as a test, adding it to the framework build path, ticking it for
export and adding the framework as a dependency to my application.
In development this worked a treat.
Great.
I then released the application and framework to a test server and
annoyingly it can't see packages that are in the jar. The framework
release looks fine with the jar inside it. The application
MacOSClassPath.txt appears to reference the jar within the framework
ok (the same way it successfully references jars in other frameworks).
I note you said to set an option to embed frameworks. In general we
release frameworks separately from applications so there is just one
version of any framework released and this is shared. Any thoughts
on tracking the problem down would be welcome.
Okay, so does your framework look like this?
*.framework/Contents/Resources/Java/yourframework.jar
*.framework/Contents/Resources/Java/liba.jar
*.framework/Contents/Resources/Java/libz.jar
And your app references all these jars in its classpath?
I mentioned embed as that's what I did (when using ant) but if you're
not embedding for deployment then your app build file should not have
embed as true as otherwise the classpath root will be wrong I suspect.
I'd better move to wo-admin.
:-)

(pain will persist this way)
I have found this guidance:
http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WOL/Add+a+Jar+Dependency
When creating an Eclipse project for jars, what is the best option
of project type? Two candidates seem to stand out within the
WOLips section:
Jar Project (is this documented? google didn't seem to turn much
up)
No not documented, but I just created one to see what it has. It
quite simply is a cut down version of a Framework project (it's
build file only builds your java classes as a jar).
Not what you're looking for I'd suggest.
WebObjects Framework (possibly adds other bells and whistles
that aren't needed?
Yep - create one of these, add your jars to the Library folder. In
eclipse select them and right click > Build Path > Add to build
path. Then go to project > Properties > Build Path > Order and
Export tick the checkbox next to each of them to export them to
other projects.
Then go to project properties for your app and in its build path >
Projects choose add... and choose your framework.
Normal rules apply for ant building for your framework when wanting
to deploy your app (i.e., install your framework then build your
app setting the option to embed frameworks)
