Choosing the Programming Language
WebObjects supports three languages: Java and Objective-C are compiled languages. They require you to build your application before running it. WebScript, which is based on Objective-C, is a scripted language. It allows you to make changes to your application while it is running. When you create a new project, Project Builder provides you with a component called Main. In WebObjects terminology, a component represents a page in your application (or possibly part of a page). In the wizard, you specify the language you'll use to program your Main component, as well as the application and session code files (which will be described later).-
For the primary language, select Java.
Later, you'll create an additional component for your application and write its code in WebScript.

Project Builder creates a new application directory called GuestBook. This directory contains the files you work with in both Project Builder and WebObjects Builder.
