The Direct to Web framework is a configurable system for creating WebObjects applications that access a database. All Direct to Web needs to create the application is a model for the database, which you can build using EOModeler.
This application is not a set of static web pages. Instead, Direct to Web uses information from the model at runtime to dynamically generate the pages. Consequently, you can modify your application's configuration at runtime using the Direct to Web Assistant (WebAssistant for short). You can hide entities, hide their properties, reorder the properties, and change the way they are displayed without recompiling or relaunching the application.
