WebObjects
     
         {NeXT}'s {framework} that provides an
        interface between a {web server} and an application server
        process.  It enables developers to easily create dynamic
        web-based applications.
     
        WebObjects acts as an adaptor between the web server and a
        process which needs to maintain state over multiple {HTTP}
        request-response transactions (which are intrinsically
        stateless).  It exists in two forms - as a {CGI} program and
        as an {Objective C} library.  It also includes a simple
        scripting language for developing web applications.  Special
        WebObjects tags can be included in {HTML} pages and these are
        processed at the server to produce dynamic but standard HTML
        to deliver to the client.
