If wotaskd runs as root, then I believe it will spawn your app as
root -- This is one of the possible fixes if you get that AWT error
that it can't talk to the window server (there are other better fixes
for this, just an example). If you're running the old startup script
way, there is explicitly a section of /System/Library/Startup Items/
WebObjects/WebObjects that shows how to do this. If you're running
the launchd way, then you should just be able to set the launching
user (I don't recall the tag name offhand, but it should be pretty
easy to lookup).

I have not had to do what you want to do, but I would think the
womonitor/wotaskd launchd items is what determines that the wo
installation runs as appserver.... so changing appserver to root in
those places might be all that is needed. Of course this will
probably make all apps run as root.
If you want just one app run as root, then this unusual requirement
might be achievable as follows ....
wotaskd launches apps in spawnofwotaskd.sh script inside its own
woa bundle ..... maybe customizing this script might be a basis for
launching different apps as different users but I would think
wotaskd itself would have to be root to be able to launch another
app as root and the rest as appserver.
In any case, if I was doing this I would experiment on a dev
server, not a live production one.

Hi list
I know that this is unusual and I'm fully aware of any security
problems this might bear. But for one deployment of a webobjects
app we need the webobject app to start as root instead of
appserver. Where do I have to set this up?
