Framework Client-Side Classes

If you are using any frameworks other than the Apple-provided WebObjects frameworks that include client-side classes, you will need to manually copy the framework's client-side .jar files into your WebServerResources/Java directory and add an entry to the ClasspathClient.txt file for each one.

WebObjects seems to be able to find its own client-side classes from within the Library/Frameworks directory, but it cannot find any others.

For example, I have a framework named MyFoundation.framework that has a couple classes in it that are used by the client-side of my application. In order for WO to find these classes, they must be in a Jar located in the MyApp.woa/Contents/WebServerResources/Java/. You will then need to make sure that the ClasspathClient.txt classpath file has an entry pointing to it.

You can also modify the build.xml and javaclientbuild.xml files to go grab all the client-side jar files from the local frameworks directory (Usually /Library/Frameworks) using the following addition:

{{code|xml}}

<! the Java Client Client-Side Classes    >
<copy todir="${dest.dir}/${project.name}/WEB-INF/${project.name}.woa/Contents/WebServerResources/Java">
 <fileset dir="${wo.wolocalroot}/Library/Frameworks">
  <include name="/WebServerResources/Java/*.jar"/>
 </fileset>
 <mapper type="flatten"/>
</copy>

{{/code|xml}}
