Kieran Kelleher 14.1 3 Below is outlined "simple embedding" concepts, however (% style="text-decoration: underline;" %)full embedding(%%) **and** (% style="text-decoration: underline;" %)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:

Kieran Kelleher 3.1 7 == The Simple Way ==

Paul Hoadley 17.1 9 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>>doc:WOL.Home.WOProject-Ant.WOApplication.WebHome]], presence of that parameter triggers a split install and thus creates an additional woa bundle for the webserver resources.

Kieran Kelleher 9.1 30 == A Better Way ==
31
Kieran Kelleher 14.1 32 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:
Kieran Kelleher 9.1 33
34 setProps target : add wsinstall.dir property
Kieran Kelleher 14.1 35 init.install target : add wsdest.dir property
36 init.build target : add wsdest.dir property
37 woapplication task : add wsDestDir property
