In that case, create 1 action object, and create 2 targets, passing the same action object to both, something like:

        local a = [ new action $(sources[1])
                   : common.copy : $(property-set) ] ;
         local t = [ new file-target $(name) : CPP : $(project)
                   : $(a) ] ;
         local t2 = [ new file-target $(name)_server : CPP : $(project)
                       : $(a) ] ;
         return [ virtual-target.register $(t) ] [ virtual-target.register $(t2) ] ;

Just replace 'common.copy' with something that actually produces two outputs.
