Re: New java class

Hi, Jeff,

Actually, the targets in Xcode for WebObjects are fairly straightforward. Xcode is aiming for a split install in deployment where your static HTML files and images (basically, any files that can be served directly by the webserver) are put under the web server root and your code and other resources which can't be vended by the web server are put in the application directory.

A "Target" under Xcode is simply a set of files and the instructions for turning those files into some derived product (typically an executable through compilation and linking). Clearly, it makes sense for Xcode to have the two targets, "Application Server" and "Web Server" to represent the two products it intends to build.

The third target (the project target), named after your application, is an aggregate target simply comprising the other two. It's instructions are simply to depend on each of the other two, so if anything changes in one or both of the other two, it will trigger the building of the one or both other targets.

The project target itself has no content, so nothing should be added to it.

Regards,
Jerry

Thank you, thank you, thank you.  I actually did try adding it to both the Application Server and the Applicationname tagets, but didn't try Application Server only.  I never have quite gotten my arms around the different targets.  Actually I think I have understood them in the past, but by the time I have trouble with them again (like now) I've forgotten quite what the nuances are between them.

Thanks again,
Jeff

I simply want to add a new Java class to my webojbects project in xcode.  I choose File->New File and pick Webobjects Java Class as the type of file in the wizard.  I add it to my ApplicationName target and neither of the other ones.  The java file is created fine and looks like this:

import com.webobjects.foundation.*;
import com.webobjects.eocontrol.*;

public class temp {

}

Then, when I compile my build, making no  other changes to the file, I get a compiler error that the imported packages in the new class (temp) don't exist.  I have many other Java classes in this same project which import these same exact packages, and they compile fine.  How can this be???

Because JavaFoundation.framework and JavaEOControl.framework are not in the ApplicationName target (nor should they be).  I can't think of a reason why a Java source file would ever be in the ApplicationName target.  Try removing temp.java from the ApplicationName target and adding it to the Application Server target which should also contain JavaFoundation.framework and JavaEOControl.framework.

Aloha,
Art
