WebObjects includes both a development environment and a deployment platform. Before installing WebObjects, you need to determine which to install. WebObjects Developer is supported on Windows 2000 Professional. WebObjects Deployment is supported on Windows 2000 Server and on Solaris. The deployment packages are included with WebObjects Developer so if you install WebObjects Developer, you do not need to install WebObjects Deployment.
WebObjects Developer provides the tools for you to build powerful and robust client-server applications for corporate intranets or the World Wide Web. The WebObjects development environment includes these applications:
Project Builder for managing and organizing your development projects, including code editing, compiling, and debugging in a variety of languages
Interface Builder for visual development of desktop and Java Client user interfaces
WebObjects Builder for viewing and editing HTML in either markup or preview mode
EOModeler for visual entity relationship mapping, forward and reverse engineering of database schemata, and integration of multiple data sources within a single model
WebObjects Deployment provides the architecture and tools to deploy your WebObjects applications on an intranet or the World Wide Web. It supplies the necessary Web server adaptors as well as WebObjects Monitor and wotaskd to allow you to remotely view server instances and generate statistical data on your deployed applications.
This guide describes how to install and remove both WebObjects Developer and WebObjects Deployment. The WebObjects 5.2 CD contains the software you need for both types of installation.
Additional WebObjects documentation is available online at http://developer.apple.com/tools/webobjects/. WebObjects Developer on Windows also provides the WebObjects Info Center for viewing WebObjects documentation.
