To a large extent, WebObjects needs little attention once it is installed.
However, there are certain basic administrative tasks that you’ll need to
know, such as how to install applications and start them up. In addition,
you’ll probably be concerned about your site’s performance somewhere
along the line, and you’ll need to know how to determine an application’s
response times and what you can do to improve the response times.
This document contains information that a WebObjects system
administrator needs to know. It begins by providing essential background
information on WebObjects HTTP adaptors and how they are used to start
WebObjects applications. Then it describes how to perform one-time setup
of an application called Monitor, which you use to perform many of the
necessary administrative tasks. After you read these first two sections, you
can learn what the basic administrative tasks are and how to perform them.
