File Location Changes

 WebObjects 4.0 is the first release of WebObjects that runs on Mac OS X Server and Yellow Box for Windows NT instead of OpenStep 4.2. Because of this change, the locations of WebObjects files have changed.

On Mac OS X Server, most WebObjects files are installed in the System folder (some can be found in /Local). On Windows NT, you still choose a folder in which to install the software, and the NEXT_ROOT environment variable points to that folder. The default has changed to C:\Apple.

The following table lists new directory names relative to the System folder or NEXT_ROOT and what each directory contains.
Location Contains
Developer/Applications Developer applications such as Interface Builder, EOModeler, Project Builder, and WebObjects Builder
Developer/Examples/EnterpriseObjects EOModels and database installation scripts needed to run the WebObjects examples
Developer/Examples/WebObjects WebObjects examples
Developer/Examples/WebObjects/Java/ConversionScripts Conversion scripts for Java APIs
Documentation/Developer Developer documentation for Mac OS X Server, Yellow Box, Enterprise Objects Framework, and WebObjects.
Library/Frameworks Public frameworks such as WebObjects.framework, EOAccess.framework, and so on
Library/Executables (Windows NT systems only) Framework DLLs
Library/Java Java packages for Yellow Box, WebObjects, and Enterprise Objects Framework
Library/WebObjects/Adaptors Executables for the various WebObjects adaptors
Library/WebObjects/Applications The Monitor application and PlaybackManager
Library/WebObjects/Configuration Configuration files
Library/WebObjects/Executables WODefaultApp and WOPlayBack

The following are new directories and files installed under the Local directory. On Mac OS X Server, the Local directory is at the root level. On Windows NT, it is under NEXT_ROOT.
Location Contains
Local/Library/Frameworks Location where you install custom frameworks
Local/Library/WebObjects/Applications Location where you install WebObjects applications (.woa directories)
Local/Library/Webserver/CGI-Executables The cgi-bin directory for the Apache web server (Mac OS X Server systems only). The WebObjects executable is installed here. On Windows NT, you specify your web server's cgi-bin directory at install time.
Local/Library/Webserver/Documents The document root for the Apache web server (Mac OS X Server systems only) On Windows NT, you specify your web server's document root directory at install time.
