  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.
