Hi!

As other people said, that's a problem related to the hostname, not a WO problem.

From past experience in Tomcat (Struts, J2EE, etc) and a small almost-newbie experience on WO, I can say that WO is MUCH faster, specially on the first time you open a URL (no JSP on-the-fly compiling). Of course, you must know some stuff about how EO works, so that you don't drag your application to a crall by doing wrong things, like loading 100,000 faults to memory when you don't need them. Read Enterprise Objects Programming Guide (downloadable from Apple) and Chuck's book (Pratical Webobjects, downloadable from apress.com... if you pay!).

PS: Chuck, is it possible to obtain a free e-book if you have a hard copy? I like to read on paper, but when I'm on the road I would prefer to have the e-book, as the hard copy is more weight in my back, that is already suffering due to the powerbook and related mice and charger and other gizmos...

Hi,

I'm totally new to WO.

Just upgraded to the most recent XCode/WO release, compiled
the HelloWorld WO sample.

When I run the app, the browser opens this URL:

	http://x2.local:49763/cgi-bin/WebObjects/HelloWorld.woa

After 20 seconds, I get a web page, enter my name and the apps replies
immediately, once I press the Form button. OK.

If I try to submit the form again, nothing happens. After 30 seconds,
Safari still tries to retrieve the result page.

To make a long story short:

- I tried this stuff on a Mac mini ;-)
   What is the proposed CPU speed for reasonable testing?

- Once test system is equipped with 512 MByte RAM.
  Do I need more?

- I have a PC with a much faster CPU and much more memory.
  May I develop on Mac and test/deploy on a PC?

Or: Do we have a good starting point [tutorial/manual] how to set
up a reasonable development environment?

Or do I probably need to set up a clean new XCode/WO install on the system?

Additionally: Tomcat isn't that slow - even on the mini. Is this speed issue
typical for WO?

CU,

s
