Autostarting

Autostarting a WebObjects application is a feature of the WebObjects Adaptor that is available only on the computer hosting your Web server host and only if WebObjects is installed on it.

If a WebObjects application is not started yet, the WebObjects Adaptor will autostart it and then connect to it. There is nothing the user should do to ask for this behavior; it occurs automatically after all other attempts to contact the application have failed.

Autostarting uses the DefaultApp executable (located in /NextLibrary/WebObjects/Executables) with the following arguments

	
    DefaultApp -d  Examples/HelloWorld
The argument passed by the WebObjects Adaptor is received from the Web server following the cgi-bin specification.
