Have a good look at /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache/ 
apache.conf , and possibly reread the deployment documentation.  When  
Apache receives an HTTP request intended for a WebObjects app, it  
needs to know something about what woapps are running.  It can get  
that information from wotaskd, and this is the default.  There are  
two other ways that Apache can find that information, and which of  
the three ways is chosen via the apache.conf file read by the  
WebObjects DSO.
