When a WebObjects adaptor receives a request from a web server, it checks to see if the requested WebObjects application is running. If the application is not running, the adaptor starts it automatically. Thus, if you don't start your application from the command prompt, WebObjects starts it for you.
When an adaptor receives a request for an application that isn't running, it looks in NextLibrary/WebObjects/Executables for the application executable. If it doesn't find an executable there, it looks in <DocumentRoot>/WebObjects. If the adaptor doesn't find an application in either location, it starts the default application executable instead. For more information, see the "Where Application Executables Go" section.
