Thanks Chuck for the explanation.

I don't know why your binding is working in development.

I checked out where WOData= is looking and it goes to the Frameworks build directory - in there WebServerResources get flattened so 'filename=image.gif' works. On the other hand Installing a framework keeps the original directory structure unflattened. So kind of annoying that I have different behavior and looks like the simple answer without wasting too much time is to just not use subdirectories.

I think you just have your project setup incorrectly. When I try this, I get the directory structure under the build/ directory. When are these images? Under Resources? Elsewhere? What is in your woproject/resources.include/patternset.

That might depend on what path you are using. :-) It should not have Resources: "/English.lproj/Localized.strings"; There was also a problem at one point with something flattening the resources.

I haven't got round to looking at Localized.strings in Resources yet. The build and installed Resource folders are identical, no flattening there. Localized.strings are stored within appropriate .lproj folders that looks right to me? I'm using ERXLocalizer so I'm never explicitly constructing paths myself and just expecting the default behavior to work in deployment as it does in development. I'll do more investigation as to what's wrong.

Thanks

Paul

After a day I figured out why resources in embedded frameworks we're not working. The problem turned out to be that in my eagerness to keep things tidy I had all my resources in subfolders ie: /Graphics /Styles within WebServerResources. Looks like that doesn't work, but in development these work fine and I'm trying to understand why.

My guess is because the use of wodata=path/to/resources/ behaviour just happens to work although I'm not sure how ResourceManager resolves something called image.gif to /graphics/ image.gif if it doesn't understand nested resources. In deployment they don't work because I'm assuming that when asking say in a WOImage for a filename=image.gif the WODeployedBundle has everything internally named "graphics/ image.gif" and so the filename doesn't match up.

I think your filename binding is wrong. The docs say, "filename - Path to the image relative to the WebServerResources directory." Note the "path" part. The binding should be:

filename = "/Graphics/image.gif";
