Re: WO4: Application URL without port number doesn't work.

Note that in ProjectBuilder's run options panel you can type in any
command linar args you'd like to pass such as -WOPort 4532 or whatever
port number you like, and PB will remember it next time you run.

Also if you use the default write I mentioned in a previous message then
unless you specifically override the -WOPort in the default with the
command line arg, any time you start the app, it'll use the default port
number. No need for a WebObjects.conf file or startup in the Monitor.
