After sending my mail I found this guide: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/LegacyTechnologies/WebObjects/WebObjects_4.5/System/Documentation/Developer/WebObjects/GettingStarted/GettingStarted.pdf Maybe it’s better suited for the purpose since WO 4.5 is closer to GNUstepWeb than 5.0 (which was ported to Java).
