Nice tip! :-)
Thanks Mike,
I've been wondering how to fix that for a while now.

maybe other people knew about it :) ).
If your CGI adaptor URL is http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/WebObjects, at
runtime, WOApplication converts that to http://
<application.hostAddress()>/cgi-bin/WebObjects.
If you CGI adaptor URL is http://localhost/cgi-bin/WebObjects, at
runtime, WOApplication converts that to http://<application.host()>/
cgi-bin/WebObjects.
application.host() considers your -WOHost setting, hostAddress uses
InetAddress.getByName(host()). So if you've ever been confused and
perplexed as to why your app keeps using your IP address even when
you set WOHost, this is why. This is especially a problem when
you're testing with cookies on your local machine, which is really
sensitive to host name changing.
Part of the confusing part here is that WOLips defaults to
127.0.0.1. I think this is wrong and I'm about to change it (unless
someone has a good reason behind it). In the meantime, you can to
several things:
1) Change the WOAdaptorURL in your launch config (to change this on
a per-app basis)
2) Change the WOAdaptorURL in Preferences=>WOLips=>Launch. This
will change the defaults globally. I don't recall if this cascades
to existing run configs or not.
So to be safe and make sure your app works in dev like it does in
deployment (which would have a consistent hostname), set
WOAdaptorURL to http://localhost/cgi-bin/WebObjects and add a -
WOHost yourhost.local (or whatever your fixed hostname is).
