Application Executables

 Applications that don't contain compiled code use WODefaultApp (located in NextLibrary/Executables). This application uses the resources you provide to respond to user requests.

If you incorporate compiled code into your WebObjects application, you must also provide the application executable. You must write a main() function, compile the source code, and link it with the WebObjects framework. You place your executable in NextLibrary/WOApps. See "Creating a Compiled Application" in the book Getting Started With WebObjects for more information.

Note: If you place the application executable in NextLibrary/WOApps, you can also place the .woa there as well. For more information, see the description of WOApps in "Where Things Go."
