Wow. You might want to look to hire a consultant, at least for a few hours to get you started. Way more than can be handled in an email.

Objective C has not been supported with webobjects for about 6 years. (That's a shame, but not within our control). You will need the WebObjects 4.5 development environment in order to develop/maintain the site. Did the original programmer leave anything useful lying around, such as a development machine?

Good luck. You might check out #9 from this list:

Hello,

I inherited a WebObjects based site. I could use some
hints and guidance. It looks like this community is
alive and thriving. So that's a positive sign. :)

I've been making modifications to the ".wo"
collections inside a WOApp. (i.e. the html file and
the .wod file). Sometimes my mods break the
functionality (such as when a Javascript menu is
generated from somewhere dynamically), but other times
I can make modes in the PageName.wo directory with
negative consequence.

Can anyone suggest what docs I should read, initially,
to get a handle on this web application?

I'd like to re-claim administrative and programmatic
control, as it is simply been hacked on here and
there. BTW, Is there a "main crank" to turn somewhere
in WebObjects (i.e. to produce a new build with new
binaries)?

If I slurp it all into a XCode (or Eclipse) project,
any tips on what to configure where? (and how?)

I'm guessing ObjC is not ported to C2D yet, which
means I need to use a Motorola-based workstation. Are
most ObjC WOApps being ported to Java, or not
necessarily?

Thank you,
M
