The Application Wrapper

When you build your project, Project Builder creates an application wrapper , which is a folder whose name is the project name plus the extension .woa .

The application wrapper has a structure similar to that of a framework. It consists of the following:

The executable application.
The application's resources.
These include the application's components as well as other files that are needed by your application at run time.
The application's web server resources.

When you build and install your application, Project Builder copies all the files from your Web Server Resources suitcase to a folder called WebServerResources inside the application wrapper. If you have client-side Java components in your project, these are also copied to the WebServerResources folder.
