When you create your project, make sure you tick the Deploy in a servlet container option, select "Deploy as a Servlet Single Directory Deployment option", also tick the "Copy all JAR files..." option. 2. At the XCode project window, change the active build configuration to deployment, for all three targets, your app, application server and web server, change the following build settings to DEPLOYMENT_LOCATION = "NO" DEPLOYMENT_POSTPROCESSING = "NO" (if you don't do this, the deployment build process will fail due to the script trying to cd into a symbolic link pointing back to itself.) 3. In deployment build configuration for your app, change INSTALL_PATH_FOR_STYLE to, INSTALL_PATH_FOR_STYLE = "$(TARGET_BUILD_DIR)" 4. Finally, add the following build settings to the deployment build configuration of your app. SERVLET_COPY_JARS = YES SERVLET_DEPLOY_LICENSE = [Your deployment licence] SERVLET_SINGLE_DIR_DEPLOY = YES SERVLET_SINGLE_DIR_DEPLOY_LICENSE = [Your deployment licence] SERVLET_TRUE_WAR = YES SERVLET_WEBAPPS_DIR = /opt/tomcat/webapps After completing these steps, build using the deployment configuration, you will find that the build process will create your webapp directory in /opt/tomcat/webapps. I am currently running my DirectToWeb application on my linux box (FC3/Tomcat 5.5/Apache/mod_jk). I couldn't believe how easy and quick it is to create a fully functional web app based on an existing data model using WebObjects. WebObjects rules!! You can deploy to platforms other than OSX in WebObjects 5.3, the process wasn’t exactly straight forward to me since I am new to WebObjects, this is what I figured out how to create a standalong web application that works under tomcat.

1. When you create your project, make sure you tick the Deploy in a servlet container option, select “Deploy as a Servlet Single Directory Deployment option”, also tick the “Copy all JAR files…” option.

2. At the XCode project window, change the active build configuration to deployment, for all three targets, your app, application server and web server, change the following build settings to

DEPLOYMENT_LOCATION = “NO”
DEPLOYMENT_POSTPROCESSING = “NO”

(if you don’t do this, the deployment build process will fail due to the script trying to cd into a symbolic link pointing back to itself.)

3. In deployment build configuration for your app, change INSTALL_PATH_FOR_STYLE to,

INSTALL_PATH_FOR_STYLE = “$(TARGET_BUILD_DIR)”

4. Finally, add the following build settings to the deployment build configuration of your app.

SERVLET_COPY_JARS = YES
SERVLET_DEPLOY_LICENSE = [Your deployment licence]
SERVLET_SINGLE_DIR_DEPLOY = YES
SERVLET_SINGLE_DIR_DEPLOY_LICENSE = [Your deployment licence]
SERVLET_TRUE_WAR = YES
SERVLET_WEBAPPS_DIR = /opt/tomcat/webapps

After completing these steps, build using the deployment configuration, you will find that the build process will create your webapp directory in /opt/tomcat/webapps.
