Hi Kenny,
The "source" generation is intended for not moving anything anyplace. It's
used when you want to test your application directly from its source tree.
It's really nice to test that way, because you don't need to keep running
the generator (except when you add the use of new classes).
If you're using a backend, that becomes a bit more complicated. My solution
was to map a web server "root" to the top of my source tree (actually to my
home directlry), and then access the url that takes me to that root and
proceed from there. I therefore have a section of my appache configuration
file that looks like this:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /home/derrell/
<Directory /home/derrell/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from All
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
ServerSignature On
</VirtualHost>
You'll have to work out how to do something similar with your web server,
but maybe that'll help you to create an easier development environment.
Cheers,
Derrell
