Pascal Robert 37.1 3 The [[WOAdaptor>>url:http://wocommunity.org/documents/javadoc/WebObjects/5.4.2/com/webobjects/appserver/WOAdaptor.html||shape="rect"]] layer of WebObjects can be thought of as a broker of requests and responses. Its role in the framework is to:
smmccraw 1.1 4
5 1. Receive incoming requests of some type (typically HTTP)
6 1. Package them into a WORequest
7 1. Dispatch the WORequest to the WOApplication
8 1. Receive the WOResponse back from the WOApplication

Pascal Robert 37.1 11 In most cases, you will be dealing with WODefaultAdaptor, which provides support for HTTP. However, adaptors could receive requests from any number of sources.
