well, I don't know

but your entry point is a cgi-bin call to a direct action called "default", at least from what I recall -

I'm not sure I understood WebObjects mechanisms, so let's suppose that I deployed a simple WebObjects application as servlet using a war file.

What I obtain it's a directory, into my Tomcat's webroot named, for example, "Web-CAT". Into "Web-CAT" I have got two directories too:

- WEB-INF

- META-INF

(it is like this for every kind of servlet, i guess) and an html file index.html

This file uses HTTP headers to redirect navigation to this url:

http://localhost:8080/Web-CAT/WebObjects/Web-CAT.woa,

that actually doesn't exists "as is" into my webroot directory, I mean there's no directory

/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/Web-CAT/WebObjects/Web-CAT.coa into my file system.

so, one might ask if you can access this URL directly or if there is any obvious reason that you'd not be able to access that directory maybe?

doesn't sound like your app is being hit at all by what you describe.

So, if I well understood what you asked, the answer is no, i cannot reach directly that position. Now, my question is, generally for a WebObjects based application, what files are supposed to be into deployment directory? I mean, how a directory containing a generic WOApp is structured?

Thanks for answering
