Setting Up the Monitor Application

You can perform many essential administrative tasks using a WebObjects
application named Monitor. Monitor helps you create a public configuration file,
start and stop applications, perform load balancing, and set up applications for
optimal performance. Before you can use Monitor, you need to perform some
initial setup. After that, you can use it to easily administer your own WebObjects
applications.

Note:

Previous versions of WebObjects distributed Monitor as an example

application. To use Monitor, you had to recompile your applications using a
special version of WOApplication. This WOApplication class is incompatible

able to Monitor these existing applications, you’ll have to recompile them on
WebObjects 3.5.

The Monitor application launches in your default web browser and
