Introduction
Below is outlined "simple embedding" concepts, however full embedding and split-installing are really recommended. This provides fully versioned self-contained bundles of both the application deployment bundle and the webserver deployment bundle. Read the docs on that technique for more advantages. This technique fully explained along with a ready-to-use ant build script is available at:
Alternative Ant Build Script for Fully Embedded and Split Install Bundles
The Simple Way
One simple change to your build.xml: Simply add the wsDestDir property to the woapplication (or woframework in the case of a framework project) task in your project's build.xml as shown below. As stated by the documentation, presence of that parameter triggers a split install and thus creates an additional woa bundle for the webserver resources.
<woapplication name="${project.name}" stdFrameworks="false"
destDir="${dest.dir}"
customInfoPListContent="${customInfoPListContent}"
principalClass="${principalClass}"
webXML="${webXML}"
webXML_CustomContent="${webXML_CustomContent}"
wsDestDir="/Library/WebServer/Documents">
<woframework name="${framework.name}"
destDir="${dest.dir}"
customInfoPListContent="${customInfoPListContent}"
principalClass="${principalClass}"
eoAdaptorClassName="${eoAdaptorClassName}"
wsDestDir="/Library/WebServer/Documents">
A Better Way
So that both Install works and ant build into project dist (right-click build.xml -> Run As/Ant Build) provides a split install, make the following 4 1-line changes to your Application build.xml file as shown in snippet below:
setProps target : add wsinstall.dir property
init.install target : add wsdest.dir property
init.build target : add wsdest.dir property
woapplication task : add wsDestDir property
<!-- property determination -->
<target name="setProps">
<property file="${user.home}${file.separator}build.properties"/>
<property file="build.properties"/>
<property file="${user.home}${file.separator}Library${file.separator}wobuild.properties"/>
<condition property="wo.properties.check.failed">
<not>
<and>
<isset property="wo.wosystemroot"/>
<isset property="wo.wolocalroot"/>
</and>
</not>
</condition>
<fail message="Could not find ${user.home}${file.separator}Library${file.separator}wobuild.properties." if="wo.properties.check.failed"/>
<property name="install.dir" value="${wo.wolocalroot}/Library/WebObjects/Applications"/>
<property name="wsinstall.dir" value="${wo.wolocalroot}/Library/WebServer/Documents"/>
</target>
<!-- basic initializations -->
<target name="init.install">
<tstamp/>
<property name="dest.dir" value="${install.dir}"/>
<property name="wsdest.dir" value="${wsinstall.dir}"/>
</target>
<target name="init.build">
<tstamp/>
<property name="dest.dir" value="dist"/>
<property name="wsdest.dir" value="dist/wsdocroot"/>
</target>
<!-- woproject tasks -->
<target name="build.woapp">
<taskdef name="woapplication" classname="org.objectstyle.woproject.ant.WOApplication">
</taskdef>
<!-- add webXML="true" to generate a web.xml file -->
<woapplication name="${project.name}" stdFrameworks="false"
destDir="${dest.dir}"
customInfoPListContent="${customInfoPListContent}"
principalClass="${principalClass}"
webXML="${webXML}"
webXML_CustomContent="${webXML_CustomContent}"
wsDestDir="${wsdest.dir}">
