That is called Direct Connect. Whether it makes sense for development is a
matter of debate. Personally, I prefer to develop as I deploy. I like to
get my surprises sooner, rather than later.

You can, but you should not. The web server should be running on port 80.
For deployment, Direct Connect should be disabled, and the woadaptor should
be handling communication between the webserver and your app.

Regular OS X should work OK, but OS X Server is preferred for a real server
deployment. Hence the 'Server' in OS X Server. :-) Your choice.

I don't think that the demo will allow load balancing and it may not allow
JavaMonitor. It also has a fairly low limit on transactions per minute.
The limit is fine for development, it probably won't do for deployment. It
is, after all, a demo. :-) If you are deploying a real site, buy a license.
That is what they are for.
