Check out the WO wiki's; there's loads of great stuff there and
answers to many common questions.

Dear Bill,
Thank you for your great suggestions. A couple of quick questions
for you:
1. I'm actually not sure what the appropriate web.xml definitions
for WOServletAdaptor should be. Can you provide some guidance
here? Perhaps even a sample healthy web.xml file?
http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WONDER/Creating+a+wonder+app+to+deploy+as+a+servlet
2. If Tomcat has the weird error described below, do you suggest
moving to, perhaps, Jboss instead?
I'm not sure it matters, really. Last I knew, Jboss used tomcat for
servlets and really only provided EJB support, but that was more than
a few years ago.
Any further guidance you can provide on this would be greatly
appreciated.
Learn Hibernate, Struts, Spring, or use WOMonitor. Just kidding; I
only say that because I feel that the WO support for container deploys
should be much better than it is, and, that's unlikely to happen as
engineering support for WO needs to keep supporting the actual
application server portion of WebObjects that .010% of the world uses.
And that's a shame, because the real value in WO is as a development
framework, and I fear our insistence on clinging to all things WO will
likely end up killing what I feel is most important. If you're lucky
enough to be able to control your entire deployment environment, and
can make whatever changes you need to on the hosts, it's not really a
big deal. If, on the other hand, you have to cooperate with other IT
factions, you'd be wise to anticipate some flack about deploying WO.
You can customize the default way things are done using the stock
Wonder and WOLips stuff to a more sane approach (and I'm referring to
war deploys, not standard), but it's some work. And compared to
setting up a typical app using those other evil technologies, it's a
pain in the a**. There, I've said it.
Many thanks in advance,
Saker Ghani

You shouldn't need to worry about the license anymore; make sure
you've got the appropriate definitions set up for the servlet
adaptor in your resulting web.xml. Even when you have that correct,
there's a seriously annoying, persistent issue with tomcat not being
able to find the WOServletAdaptor, which you have to repeatedly sudo
touch the war (thereby redeploying and adding more to your permgen
size which in itself will ultimately bring down tomcat eventually)
to get it started properly. I wish I could figure out what really
causes this random behavior; it's completely frustrating. Good luck.

Hello WebDeploy Masters:
I have a situation where I need to port a OSX/WO application to
Windows. On OSX, I have the following environment:
OSX: 10.4.11
WO: 5.3.3
Tomcat: 5.5
XCode: 2.3
Instead of Monitor, I have my application deployed on Tomcat
presently, and all is well. Till now, I've never needed to deal
with Windows deployment, but this is no longer avoidable. So, I
tried doing a .war deployment of my application on Win/Tomcat, but I
get the error, Servlet WOServletAdaptor is not available error. My
reading through this mailing list and others suggest that I don't
have an appropriate deployment license, but that seems odd since my
understanding is that WO 5.3.1+ comes with deployment licenses
across all supported platforms, including Windows. Any ideas on
what may be the issue?
Advance apologies if these questions are too rudimentary for this
mailing list. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
SGhani
