So I assume your firewall is also on this system.
Thinking about it some more, this is what broke my setup, I upgraded
to DSL. Since I did that, the browser is trying to hit my IP address,
instead of going through localhost(at least I'm pretty sure that's
what it used to do.)
I think localhost (or 127.0.0.1) would be used for a standalone
system, but once the primary Ethernet interface has an IP address
assigned, WO seems to use that address. I guess I was lucky in that I
installed a Linksys Cable/DSL router with a firewall between my system
and my ISP so the router has the IP address assigned by my ISP and I
assign a private local IP address to my system. Thus everything WO
does is within my own private network on one side of the firewall.
Thank you for your help, do't waste too many cycles, I can just turn
the firewall off while I'm playing around with WebObjects.
I sure wouldn't want to turn off my firewall these days, particularly
in your case where your system will be exposed to the Internet. You
should be able to open up one port only, that which the app uses to
communicate with the browser in Direct Connect mode. Unfortunately,
that port is chosen apparently at random on each launch from Project
Builder. Fortunately, you can control which port is selected by adding
"-WOPort 51234" to the Launch Arguments in Project Builder. Then you'd
merely open port 51234 (TCP, I assume).
If you install your app and run it under Apache, you'd need to open
port 80 as well. If you use JavaMonitor to launch your installed app,
it will chose another port for communication between Apache and your
app, usually starting with port 2001, so that would probably have to be
opened as well.
I'm guessing on all of this never having tried it.
