WOAdaptor
Inherits from: NSObject
Package: com.apple.yellow.webobjects
Class Description
WOAdaptor is an abstract class that represents objects that can receive events from a WebObjects adaptor. A WebObjects adaptor is a process that handles communication between the server and a WebObjects application. The WebObjects application (a WOApplication instance) communicates with the adaptor using messages defined in the WOAdaptor class.
The purpose of the WOAdaptor class is to perform these tasks:
- Register with the application's run loop to begin receiving events.
- Receive incoming events from the run loop and package them as WORequest objects.
- Forward the WORequest to the WOApplication by sending it the message dispatchRequest.
- Receive the WOResponse object from the WOApplication and send it to the client using an RPC mechanism.

Constructors
WOAdaptor
public WOAdaptor(
String aName,
NSDictionary someArguments)
The WOApplication method adaptorWithName invokes this message when it encounters an WOAdaptor option on the command line. The WOApplication retains each of its WOAdaptors.

Instance Methods
dispatchesRequestsConcurrently
public boolean dispatchesRequestsConcurrently()
See Also: adaptorsDispatchRequestsConcurrently ( WOApplication class)
doesBusyRunOnce
public boolean doesBusyRunOnce()
port
public int port()
After the application's constructor has been called, port returns the port number on which this adaptor will listen. During execution of the application's constructor, this method returns the value of the WOPort user default (or the value of the -WOPort command-line option, of one was specified when the application was started).
