OK. I SO didn't even understand ANY of that. Can you translate to a lower beginner level? I am coming from using IntelliJ and the JSP/ Servlet world. I simply dropped the folder of images into my resources folder which contained all of my jsp files and it was deployed with the rest of the jsp files.

Trying to duplicate this, I first copied my images folder into the project root folder in the finder. In XCode, in the Groups and Files pane, I right click on the 'Web Components' folder and selected 'Add Existing Files', and selected the folder that I just copied over. I now see my images folder and I can drill down and see my individual images in the folder under the Web Components folder in the Groups and Files pane.

I'm not understanding.......

My question is a stupid one, but I don't seem to be able to find anything about it. I have an image I want to include on my page. In my old app, I have an images folder in my root folder that contain all of my images. I copied that folder into the root project folder of my webobject app. I used "file->add file" and selected the folder and added it to my web components folder. I then use a WOImage and converted it to a static object and selected the image file I wanted. In layout, it comes up fine, but when I build the project, it shows up as a broken link in the browser window.

So where am I going wrong?

WebServer Resources need to be installed in the doc root of your web server; I assume that by the above you meant that you added the images to the WebServer target? This is a separate build product. Your app will build to two parts: one containing the code, to be installed on your application server, and the other with the web server resource, to be installed in the doc root of your web server.


Other basic question:

I have a common header/footer across all pages using the include tag. Can I continue to use it or do I need to do something else?

If it is a server based include, then yes, you can continue to use it. Probably.

I would generally create a partial page component from the include (ie, a wo), and place that in all pages that needed it. Or almost. What I would really do is create a page wrapper component (one that contains the html/head/body parts), with a WOComponentContent where the page content would go, and use that on every page in my app. This approach can cut out a lot of repetitive layout html.
