I have noticed that when I launch a WO app (.woa file) the browser
shows a port number that changes every time I launch the application.
(I am doing this from a development environment, not a deployment
environment.) Why does the port number change? More important, what is
the correct URL syntax to call a .woa file?
In deployment mode, the WO URL doesn't include a port number because
the Web server port number, 80, is implied. The WebObjects Web server
adaptor communicates with each WO instance over a port that's assigned
to each instance, usually by JavaMonitor.
Launching from Project Builder uses Direct Connect mode which does not
use a Web server. Because no Web server is involved, a Direct Connect
URL must include the number of the port to which the WO instance
listens. In Direct Connect mode, that's a randomly-assigned,
high-number port unless the WOPort launch argument is used to assign a
port.
