WebObjects 5
Deployment tools
In addition to all of the developer applications listed above, WebObjects provides a rich suite
of deployment tools. The centerpiece of these tools is Monitor, itself a WebObjects application
that manages all the different WebObjects applications and the servers on which they are
running. You can use Monitor to start and stop instances, generate statistics, and configure
how applications are run. Other tools enable you to record and play back sessions for both
functional and stress testing.
The WebObjects runtime is written entirely in Java, allowing your applications to run on virtually any Java 2 platform. With the
low-cost licensing and smart load balancing of WebObjects, it’s easy to scale an application for as many users as necessary.
