Usually this is desirable.
"outside" internet client requests come through the firewall on port 80
(http), to the "inside" web server. (Presentation Tier)
The WebObjects adapter does a lookup and forwards the request to the
WebObjects Application server at some port. (Application Tier -
"inside")
The Application usually opens a DB connection to oracle (port 1521) or
SQL (port 1433) server as the DB tier - "inside".
In order to prevent "outside" Internet access directly to the other
"inside" tiers (a bad thing), the firewall blocks all but port 80.
So, this is a desired condition. There should be no impact to your
applications because the firewall is blocking everything "outside" but
port 80.
The firewall "blocking" is occurring between the outside Internet and
the inside web server, not between the inside web server and WebObjects
nor WebObjects and the DB.

Hello -
It seems as though a client has ports other than 80 blocked. How can I
serve
up my WebObjects application if it is running on other ports?

Never be afraid to try something new.
