You should now have a working web server and WebObjects deployment environment. Try to open your browser and access http://<your-server-name>/cgi-bin/WebObjects/app.woa and you should see the error "The requested application was not found on this server." generated by the WebObjects adaptor.

Project Wonder

To install Project Wonder, assuming you performed all the previous steps and checked out Wonder from GitHub, do the following steps logged in as your username (not root!):

1. Install the port devel/apache-ant if not yet installed.

2. Run the following command:

mkdir -p "~/Library/Application Support/WOLips/"

3. On that directory, create a file named wolips.propertipes with the following content, adjusted to your paths:

#Wed Sep 17 01:33:31 WEST 2008
wo.system.root=/usr/local/apple
wo.user.frameworks=/home/<username>/Library/Frameworks
wo.system.frameworks=/usr/local/apple/Library/Frameworks
wo.bootstrapjar=/usr/local/apple/Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications/wotaskd.woa/WOBootstrap.jar
wo.network.frameworks=
wo.api.root=
wo.network.root=
wo.extensions=/usr/local/apple/Local/Library/WebObjects/Extensions
wo.user.root=/home/<username>
wo.local.frameworks=/usr/local/apple/Local/Library/Frameworks
wo.apps.root=/usr/local/apple/Local/Library/WebObjects/Applications
wo.local.root=/usr/local/apple/Local
wo.systemroot=/usr/local/apple
wo.wosystemroot=/usr/local/apple
wo.wolocalroot=/usr/local/apple/Local
wo.localroot=/usr/local/apple/Local
wo.server.root=/usr/local/www/apache22/data/WebObjects

4. Create /usr/local/www/apache22/data/WebObjects directory with write permission for group wheel (or whatever group you are on).

5. Run the following command:

chmod -R g+w /usr/local/apple/Local/Library

Note that you can use more restrict permissions than the ones showed here. This should be only considered as an example.

6. cd into the Wonder directory.

7. Run the commands:

ant frameworks
ant frameworks.install

This will compile and install Wonder in your system, including the web server resources of Wonder frameworks, like Ajax.
