interface between a
web server and an application server
process. It enables developers to easily create dynamic
web-based applications.
WebObjects acts as an adaptor between the web server and a
process which needs to maintain state over multiple
HTTPrequest-response transactions (which are intrinsically
stateless). It exists in two forms - as a
CGI program and
scripting language for developing web applications. Special
WebObjects tags can be included in
HTML pages and these are
processed at the server to produce dynamic but standard HTML
to deliver to the client.
