WebObjects System Administration
To a large extent, WebObjects needs little attention once it is installed. For its essential purpose---the handling of HTTP requests---WebObjects should "just work." However, there are a few things a system administrator might have to do, especially when it comes to deploying WebObjects applications or porting deployment functionality to new platforms. This document describes the procedures for accomplishing these and related tasks. It also offers some background information on HTTP adaptors that system administrators might find useful.
