WebObjects applications crashing on NT using IIS


Q: Why is my WebObjects application crashing on Windows NT? It worked fine before, but I just upgraded to patch 2, and now the applications crash consistently. I'm using IIS for my WebServer, and WebObjects 4.5.

A: There is a known bug that arises between IIS and patch 2 of WebObjects on Windows NT using IIS. The problem is the adaptor sends out empty headers. A patch (patch 3) is imminent, and a workaround is to subclass and extend the functionality of the adaptor to filter out (i.e., not send) empty packets across the wire.
