Ulrich Köster 20.1 7 {{code language="none"}}WOFramework{{/code}} is an Ant task to build WebObjects (5.1 or higher) frameworks from a set of files. It does not enforce any particular project structure and can be used to create frameworks without using the ProjectBuilder or X-Code tool.

68 == Nested Elements ==

70 === classes ===
71
Ulrich Köster 20.1 72 The nested classes element specifies a [[FileSet>>url:http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/CoreTypes/fileset.html||shape="rect"]]. All files included in this fileset will end up in the {{code language="none"}}Resources/Java/*.jar{{/code}} file of the framework.

74 === resources ===
75
Andrew Lindesay 22.1 76 The nested {{code language="none"}}resources{{/code}} element specifies a [[FileSet>>url:http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/CoreTypes/fileset.html||shape="rect"]]. All files included in this fileset will end up in the {{code language="none"}}Resources{{/code}} directory of the framework. For the discussion of resource localization issues follow [[this link>>doc:WOL.Home.WOProject-Ant.WOFramework.WOProject-Localization.WebHome]].

79
Andrew Lindesay 22.1 80 The nested {{code language="none"}}wsresources{{/code}} element specifies a [[FileSet>>url:http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/CoreTypes/fileset.html||shape="rect"]]. All files included in this fileset will end up in the {{code language="none"}}WebServerResources{{/code}} directory of the framework.

Andrew Lindesay 15.1 81
82 === lib ===
83
Ulrich Köster 20.1 84 The nested {{code language="none"}}lib{{/code}} element specifies a [[FileSet>>url:http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/CoreTypes/fileset.html||shape="rect"]]. This should be a fileset of jar libraries required by your framework. All files in this fileset will end up in the {{code language="none"}}Resources/Java{{/code}} folder of the framework, and will be included on the classpath for this framework.

114 Note that it can be useful to build a framework with only libraries - what you get is a framework that is just a wrapper around one or more existing jar files. For example this enables you to create a framework of a set of third party jar files that your other WOFrameworks and WOApplications can include.
