Adding folders to a WAR FIle in JBuilder 82003-11-04 02:04:31 PM jbuilder14 Hi Folks, I thought I had{*word*180}ed this one but for something that is simple the IDE does not seem to make it so. What I wanted to do was add a folder full of pdf files under the root directory of a web application . I have actually done this by using Windows Explorer. When I start the jsp application I can access the pdf files from a browser ok. What I wanted to do was add this pdf folder and its contents to a WAR file. So I have done the following via the IDE menu. First Create a new folder under the root directory by doing : Project|Add Files/Packages|New Folder icon Then add pdf files via Windows Explorer. I have tried to add the files from within the IDE but it will not let me put them in the required folder- instead it chooses a default. Second Tools|IDE Options|File Types| Add Associated extensions I have added the pdf extension so that the JBuilder editor recoginses this file type. Third Right click on the 'war file node' under '<Default Web App>' node and look at properties dialogue box. I have added pdf file extensions to be copied under the list title, 'Project Wide defaults by extension'. Also I changed the radio button from 'use the extension defaults' to 'copy' When I build the project to create a new war file there is no directory or associated pdf files. When I look at the above mentioned radio button it has gone back to 'Project Wide defaults by extension'. So the question is how do you include a directory of files in a jpx project in the WAR file when the project is being built ? any help much appreciated regards David |
