    Hello Pierre,

    First of all to be honest, i have smart knowledge about ant framework and scripts.

    I tried your changes as the following
    1. replaced the <woapplication in build.xml as you added
    2. created the Web.xml file // changed the value in build.properties file webXML = true
    3. replaced the SSDD task in build.xml as you added.
    4. I didnt understand the point with the following part: // but cos i use windows, i thought this could work for me.
    75c75,77
    < WEBINFROOT/Resources/Java/ 

    ---
> 
> WEBINFROOT/HelloWorld.woa/Contents/Resources/Java/helloworld.jar
> 
84d85
< WEBINFROOT/Resources/Java/helloworld.jar

    5.Then changed the WAR task in build.xml also as you added  // Copy data from SSDD.

    I got the following error
----------------------------------------------------

    Buildfile: H:\workspace\WOWar\build.xml

    could you help here please?

  Subject: JBoss WAR deployment

      Hi!

      I just slaved days over getting Eclipse/WOLips to generate a WAR to JBoss' liking.

      Somehow the out-of-the-box WAR support in WOLips seems very broken. I ended up rewriting much of the involved Ant targets. Furthermore I had to patch the generated web.xml to get a classpath that NSBundle can work with.

      First, I had to add additional arguments to the WOApplication task:

      <woapplication name="${project.name}" stdFrameworks="false"
  destDir="${dest.dir}"
  customInfoPListContent="${customInfoPListContent}"
  principalClass="${principalClass}"
  webXML="${webXML}"
  webXML_CustomContent="${webXML_CustomContent}"
  webXML_WOAINSTALLROOT="/tmp/${project.name}.dst/Library/WebObjects/Applications/"
  webXML_WOtaglib="WOtaglib_1_0.tld"
  webXML_WOAppMode="Development">

      ...

      <frameworks root="${wo.wosystemroot}" embed="true">
        <patternset>
    <includesfile name="woproject/ant.frameworks.wo.wosystemroot"/> 
  </patternset>
     </frameworks>
     <frameworks root="${wo.wolocalroot}" embed="true">
        <patternset>
    <includesfile name="woproject/ant.frameworks.wo.wolocalroot"/> 
  </patternset>
     </frameworks>
  <frameworks root="${user.home}" embed="true">
        <patternset>
    <includesfile name="woproject/ant.frameworks.user.home"/> 
  </patternset>
     </frameworks>

      ...

      </woapplication>

      I modified the ssdd target as follows:

          <target name="ssdd">
      <mkdir dir="${dest.dir}/${project.name}/WEB-INF/tlds"/>
      <copy todir="${dest.dir}/${project.name}/WEB-INF/">
              <fileset dir="${dest.dir}/${project.name}.woa/Contents/"> 
                  <include name="web.xml"/> 
              </fileset> 
          </copy>
      <copy todir="${dest.dir}/${project.name}/WEB-INF/">
              <fileset dir="."> 
                  <include name="LICENSE"/> 
              </fileset> 
          </copy>
          <copy todir="${dest.dir}/${project.name}/WEB-INF/">
              <fileset dir="${dest.dir}"> 
                  <include name="${project.name}.woa/**"/> 
              </fileset> 
          </copy>    
  <copy todir="${dest.dir}/${project.name}/WEB-INF">
           <fileset dir="${dest.dir}/${project.name}.woa/Contents">
                  <include name="Frameworks/**"/> 
                  <include name="Resources/**"/> 
              </fileset> 
           </copy>
  <copy todir="${dest.dir}/${project.name}/WEB-INF/lib">
  <fileset dir="${dest.dir}/${project.name}/WEB-INF">
  <include name="**/Resources/**/*.jar"/> 
  </fileset>
  <flattenmapper />
  </copy> 
  <copy todir="${dest.dir}/${project.name}/WEB-INF/lib">
  <fileset dir="/Library/WebObjects/Extensions">
  <include name="*.jar"/> 
  <exclude name="servlet.jar"/> 
  </fileset>
  <flattenmapper />
  </copy> 
     <copy todir="${dest.dir}/${project.name}/WEB-INF/tlds">
              <fileset dir="${wo.wosystemroot}/Library/Frameworks/JavaWOJSPServlet.framework/Resources/"> 
                  <include name="WOtaglib_1_0.tld"/> 
              </fileset> 
  </copy>    
  <fixcrlf srcdir="${dest.dir}/${project.name}/WEB-INF/" eol="unix" includes="web.xml" />
  <patch originalfile="${dest.dir}/${project.name}/WEB-INF/web.xml" patchfile="web.diff" ignorewhitespace="true"/>
      </target> 

      The last two steps patch the classpath. First we neet to strip Mac line endings for the patch task to work. The patch file looks like this:

      75c75,77
  <     WEBINFROOT/Resources/Java/
  ---
  > 
  > WEBINFROOT/HelloWorld.woa/Contents/Resources/Java/helloworld.jar
  > 
  84d85
  < WEBINFROOT/Resources/Java/helloworld.jar

      BTW, having to work with a patch file is UGLY. I guess WOLips should be updated to generate a valid classpath.

      This changes the way we refer to the main JAR in a way that allows NSBundle to recognize it as a bundle.

      The WAR target could be greatly simplified by basing the WAR off the SSDD:

      <target name="war" depends="ssdd"> 
  <war destfile="${dest.dir}/${project.name}.war" webxml="${dest.dir}/${project.name}/WEB-INF/web.xml" basedir="${dest.dir}/${project.name}"> 
  <lib dir="${wo.wosystemroot}/Library/Frameworks/JavaWOJSPServlet.framework/WebServerResources/Java/"> 
  <include name="JavaWOJSPServlet_client.jar"/> 
  </lib> 
  </war>
     <copy todir="/tmp/${project.name}.dst/Library/WebObjects/Applications/">
  <fileset dir="${dest.dir}"> 
  <include name="${project.name}.woa/**"/> 
  </fileset> 
  </copy>
      </target> 

      All this buys me a self-contained WAR file with all frameworks embedded. This WAR works fine on JBoss 4.

      Pierre.
