Issues with Jar deployment
Morning,
I have a moderately complex Pivot based app that for the time being is
running as a standalone desktop application. When I run from within
eclipse, everything works just fine.
However, when I try to export my project I consistently get a null
resource saying that it can't located the wtkx files.
I've tried changing the file locations to a static full path, i.e.
C:/project/filename.wtkx and placed the files in that path, but it still
claims to not be able to find the resources.
Has anyone else had difficulties building out an application like this?
Are certain things I need to be doing in my directory structure to make
sure that everything works correctly?
Currently I have wtkx files living in the same folders as the classes
that reference them directly, i.e.
Org.me.project.pkg.class.MyClass has both the java and wtkx file in
org/me/project/class/ That seemed, at least at the time, to be the
simplest organizational pattern..but I guess it is flawed?
Thanks for any thoughts.
David

Not sure what the problem might be there. I generally use Eclipse to build and debug, but I use Ant to package up an application for deployment. My build script includes everything except for *.java files from the src directory so the *.wtkx, *.json, etc. files are all included in the JAR.

And...now there is a new issue...though this is just more of a headache
than anything...
The deployment is working fine, however, now the include directives are
trying to point to the 'bin' folder in my pivot project, and it doesn't
move the wtkx files over there because javac presumably wouldn't pick
them up. (This is when I try to run the application from inside
Eclipse, i.o.w., clicking the pretty little green "play" button).
I realize this is likely more of an IDE question than a straight Pivot
question, but I figure someone has probably already been down this path
and might have a solution.
Or maybe I'm not making sense at the moment, in which case I'll try to
rephrase it later.

The wtkx files are included in the exported jar file.
I think that part of the root problem might have to do with my includes.
In my main wtkx file I am using the following include... <wtkx:include
src="foldername/file.wtkx"></wtkx:include>
So its getting the main class's wtkx file at this point, but when it
goes to pull in the next component, which exists in the jar file...
should I be referring to the include as:
<wtkx:include src="org/me/package/whatever/file.wtkx"? Or is there
something similar to Class#getResource() that can be added in to help it
find the correct file?
If I have the jarfile and the 'foldername/wtkx' residing in the same

That's how I have my WTKX files organized in my fairly large-scale Pivot
apps, and it works with JAR deployment. How are you looking the paths up?
Make sure you're using classpath lookups and not absolute lookups.
