WebObjects

operating system NeXT's framework that provides an

interface between a web server and an application server

process. It enables developers to easily create dynamic

web-based applications.

WebObjects acts as an adaptor between the web server and a

process which needs to maintain state over multiple HTTP

request-response transactions (which are intrinsically

stateless). It exists in two forms - as a CGI program and

as an Objective C library. It also includes a simple

scripting language for developing web applications. Special

WebObjects tags can be included in HTML pages and these are

processed at the server to produce dynamic but standard HTML

to deliver to the client.
