Dear List,

Years ago I ran into a similar problem that I never resolved. Was wondering if anyone had a suggestion or if this simply is not possible. First, the environment:

Server is OS X Server 10.4.6 (I know time to upgrade but 431 days uptime is hard to abandon). It is running the Apple stock Apache with WO. I am one of the dinosaurs so I am still using Xcode, WOBuilder, EOModeler, etc under 10.4.11 to develop the applications. Please don't chastise me :)

But, but I enjoy that!  :-)

Chuck, I know. You've set me straight numerous times in the past :) Thank you.


I have a component that I stripped the html, head, and body tags from and then deployed it. I can hit it by doing http://server/Apps/WebObjects/Classes . Everything works fine.

However, if I want to include that WO snippet into a standard .shtml page, I get one of the two results:

If I do:
        <!--#include virtual="/Apps/WebObjects/Classes" -->

I get, "No Instance Available." So at least I know that the WO engine was hit. It is just not finding my deployed application.

Have you tried a more complete URL?
<!--#include virtual="/Apps/WebObjects/Classes.woa/wa/default" -->

I have done this years ago, and it works.

James Cicenia reminded me of this but that did not work either. I still get the No Instance found or The requested application was not found errors.


If that does not work:

sudo touch /tmp/logWebObjects

Then load that page a couple of times and look in

/tmp/WebObjects.log

You will then see what the woadaptor is attempting to dispatch. That may show the source of "No Instance Available."

Also great advice. I created the file, stopped both Apache and WO and then started them all backup again. On the first load, I got "No Instance Available" as seen here:

Then with Option key down and forcing a reload, I got the "The requested application was not found on the server" error as seen here.

As mentioned, I can hit this application with both the fqdn/Apps/ WebObjects/Classes and with fqdn/Apps/WebObjects/Classes.woa/wa/ default. Also, I have only one instance of the app currently running and there are no deaths. From WOMonitor this is the start argument for the app. I am not doing anything special other than defining the path to the app and then letting it rip.

-WOPort 2010 -WOCachingEnabled YES -WODebuggingEnabled NO - WOOutputPath /dev/null -WOAutoOpenInBrowser NO - WOAutoOpenClientApplication NO -WOLifebeatInterval 30 - WOLifebeatEnabled YES -WOLifebeatDestinationPort 1085 -WOAdaptor WODefaultAdaptor -WOWorkerThreadCount 8 -WOListenQueueSize 128 - WOWorkerThreadCountMin 16 -WOWorkerThreadCountMax 256 - NSProjectSearchPath () -WOSessionTimeOut 3600 -WOApplicationName Classes -WOMonitorEnabled YES -WONoPause YES

When hosting under 10.3 I recall doing the includes. Then a few years ago I upgraded the hosting environment to 10.4 and then never resolved it but also no longer needed it. This server is hosting 3 other WO apps that are full projects and never need any attention.

The includes module is loaded in Apache as I am a heavy user of includes. CGI execution and SSI are on for the virtual host and the evil web performance cache is turned off.

Does the log show anything that I am missing? In both cases it is marking the instance dead and the server unresponsive. But meanwhile all other apps are running fine.

Thanks again for helping. Chuck, are you going to do a "Dealing with Separation Anxiety - Moving Stubborn WO Developers Away from XCode" session at WWDC this year?
