Well, I am just using build & run to test and debug my app on my
local machine and that's just what it does. It runs the app on a
random port. Is there a way to configure Xcode so it will not do
that and I can still just build/run and debug like normal? I know
that once I deploy this doesn't matter, but I am a way off from
deployment and I would like to make the build/debug cycle as
close to painless as possible, because I am sure I will need to
do a lot of debugging between now and deployment. ;-)

Thanks Chuck.
For the record, I uncommented the wotaskd line in the WebObjects
startup item, and then ran the item from the command line. I set -
DWODirectConnectEnabled=false under Project -> Edit active
executable in XCode. It looks like the developer tools installation
took care of setting up the local apache installation for me. So I
didn't have to change any config there.
Then I put my images inside the /Library/WebServer/Documents/images
folder
You can make it even more convenient than that:
cd /Library/WebServer/Documents
ln -s /path/to/your/images
This has the same effect, but lets your images etc remain where they
were checked out from source control. Any changes are automatically
reflected in the browser; you don't need to remember to update the
copy.
and set a base URL (http://powerbook.local/images/) in the HTML
file so I didn't have to change all the image links generated by
the HTML design program used by my designer.
If powerbook.local starts to give you problems (it always does for
me), launch the app with -DWOHost=localhost and add
WOHost=localhost
to /System/Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications/wotaskd.woa/Contents/
Resources/Properties
You will need to restart wotaksd and Apache after that, or just
reboot to be really, really sure. ;-)
Now I can simply cut and paste the html into a component, set the
base, copy the images, and continue working.
And happiness prevails.
