Java Client-WebStart Distribution Building

Your deployed WebStart-distributed application must have a jar of all the client-side classes (and any subclasses of EOGenericRecord that your client-classes extend) in the Project.woa/Contents/WebServerResources/Java/ directory. If you don't include a jar of your client-side classes in this directory, WebObjects silently uses EOGenericRecord instead. This is made obvious by things like default values, client-side validation and other client-side logic not working in the deployed application.

When using Ant to build:

1. Add the following "javaclient" target to your build.xml file. 
2. <target name="javaclient">
   <mkdir dir="${dest.dir}/${project.name}.woa/Contents/WebServerResources/Java" />
   <!-- project client-side classes -->
   <jar basedir="${classes.dir}" includes="**/client/**/*.class,**/common/**/*.class" jarfile="${dest.dir}/${project.name}.woa/Contents/WebServerResources/Java/${project.name}.jar">
   </jar>
   <!-- project user.d2wmodel file (D2JC only) -->
   <copy file="user.d2wmodel" tofile="${dest.dir}/${project.name}.woa/Contents/Resources/user.d2wmodel" />
   </target>Make the "build" and "install" targets depend upon "javaclient" just prior to the "ssdd" target.
