Jeremy,
Apple was VERY clear. From WO 5.3 forward, WO is only supported on OS X
for development AND deployment. If you want to deploy on another platform,
you need to do so using WO 5.2.4 or earlier. This is what Apple is
supporting.
One might consider using 5.3 to create a .war file, buying a copy of OS X
Server, then locate the WO deployment license key file, use it in your
.war deployment and then deploy on any compliant 1.4.2 or 1.5 JRE. If you
do this, however, Apple will not support you. Doing this would seem to be
"legal," but it is clearly not supported.
This is a problem for us because we have WO applications that run
executables on our Solaris boxes that require DCE/DFS. Since there is no
native DCE/DFS client for OS X, we cannot run these on our Xserves--and we
have lots of them and love them--but we still need Solaris boxes to meet
some of our requirements.
