Okay, that was just for checking. I had the weiredest errors sometimes
and later it turned out that a JARfile or something was missing.

You  mean,  without Monitor? I am not sure if this is possible at all.
There  is  a  startup  type  called  "webserver development" where you
specify  the  negative port number your application is using. Say your
application runs on port 3333, then the URL would look like:

  http://<name>/cgi-bin/WebObjects/HelloWorld.woa/-3333

This  can be used to check whether static resources (GIF, CSS etc) are
correctly  deployed on the webserver. However, you will not be able to
use  load  balancing  or  a  distributed deployment with more then one
machine.

When  you  have  set  up the application via Monitor, you also have to
setup  instances  of  the  application  that  will  then  run. When in
Monitor,  click  on the "Applications" tab right on top of the screen.
Then  select the application you want to run and click on its "Config"
button. This brings you to the application config page.

Now, on this page in the upper right corner, there is a button called
"Detail View", click on this button. This will list all instances you
have at the moment. Below, there is a line

"Add [ 1 ] instance(s) on host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

Click  on the "Add" button, to add one instance, then click on "Start"
to  start  the instance. After a while (you can click "Refresh Now" to
get  a  screen update), the instance should run and you should be able
to access it by clicking on its name (directly above the "Refresh Now"
hyperlink).

Maybe  that  was just the piece you were missing? If it does not work,
feel free to write again.
