HTTP Adaptors

WebObjects uses a variety of different HTTP adaptors to enable access to applications through the Web server. Depending on your deployment platform, particular HTTP adaptors are installed by default. Table 3-2 lists the supported adaptors that are installed on each platform.

Apache ISAPINSAPI CGI

Solarisversion 1.3.9 version 6.0 SP2x
Windows 2000 version 5.0 x

In Mac OS X Server and Solaris, the Apache adaptor is active by default. Requests in the form http://.../cgi-bin/WebObjects/ are handled by the Apache adaptor. If you disable the Apache module, then such requests are handled by the CGI adaptor. In Windows 2000 the ISAPI adaptor is the default.
