Serving WebObjects

To a large extent, WebObjects needs little attention once it is installed. However, administrators of a WebObjects site still need to know how to accomplish certain tasks, such as installing applications, creating and running instances of them, and configuring HTTP adaptors. In addition, you'll probably be concerned about improving your site's performance. The tools and techniques described in this document help administrators complete the tasks required to deploy and maintain WebObjects applications. Because each deployment can be different, the document gives suggestions and options for making your deployment successful.

This document begins by providing essential background information on WebObjects HTTP adaptors and how they are used to distribute requests. Then it describes how to use an application called Monitor to monitor and administer your deployment. Finally, it describes the basic administrative tasks are and tells you how to perform them.
