Newbie question: I've designed and implemented version .5 of my new WO application. I'm running Eclipse and WOLips, due to extreme bugginess that I found in Apple's XCode tool. However, all the documentation I've found for how to build my application for deployment says I use xcodebuild (actually pbxbuild, but I figured that one out) to create separate web server resources and application builds. Of course, since I created my project in eclipse, xcode cant make heads or tails of it. The WOLips docs say that I should use the ant "woapplication" task to do the appropriate things, although in the "getting started" section, it says that my app should be ready to deploy when I build it locally. Is that true? How do I use ant to build for deployment? My app is running fine on my workstation (G4), but I want to move it to our staging server (xserve G4 running panther). I'm pretty sure that I have wotaskd and monitor running and configured properly. However, when I copy my app (I3PKB.woa) to "/Library/WebServer/Documents/" directory and point monitor at it, it cant start properly. The webserverresources directory is empty inside my .woa, so I'm getting the idea that it isnt in fact built ready for deployment. Can anyone shed some light on this issue? What I'd really love is a pedantic, step-by-step set of instructions to install WO deployment, build under eclipse and WOLips, and copy and start my application, but any subset of that would be wonderful.
