BTW, Here is the URL that the Monitor app gives:

Yes (unzipped and untarred).
and NewApp.wowebserverresources goes into the
/opt/WOWebServerResources folder
/opt/WOWebServerResources/*WebObjects*
I chowned the untared directories to appserver:appserveradm
Perfect.
But me app will not run.
What did you do? What did you expect to happen, and what did you
actually observe? Was there any log output? Could you run the app from
the command line?
$ /opt/WOApplications/NewApp.woa/NewApp
I have attached the product of mvn package. Could you take a look at
this. maybe you can see that there is something missing.
In NewApp.woa/Contents/UNIX/UNIXClassPath.txt (and
MacOS/MacOSClassPath.txt if you're trying to launch this from the
command line on a Mac), this cannot possibly be correct:
# ApplicationClass == Application
This value comes from build.properties in your project. It needs the
fully qualified name of the application class, so (after poking around
in your application's JAR) in this case you need:
# ApplicationClass == com.abc.Application
And so that it's correct next time you build, update build.properties
in your project:
principalClass=com.abc.Application
Then, looks like you're using Java 21, so at launch time you'll see this:
Jan 03 08:13:09 NewApp[54507] WARN NSLog - A fatal exception
occurred: class com.webobjects.foundation.NSTimeZone (in unnamed
module @0x24c1b2d2) cannot access class
sun.security.action.GetPropertyAction (in module java.base) because
module java.base does not export sun.security.action to unnamed module
@0x24c1b2d2
Which is fixed by this in ...ClassPath.txt:
# JVMOptions == --add-opens
java.base/sun.security.action=ALL-UNNAMED
and again, this is coming from build.properties where you need this:
jvmOptions=--add-exports java.base/sun.security.action=ALL-UNNAMED
After correcting these, ignore the missing graphic resources (I'm just
launching this from the command line):
