Apple to Enterprise: One to beam up, and notify sickbay we have wounded
There was a time when WebObjects was really the only thing of its
kind, but time has passed and the space it served isn't a vacuum
anymore. To put it bluntly, is WebObjects still relevant?
When I picked up WO in 2000, I told pretty much anyone who listened
that while WebObjects is the most advanced application server out
there, that open source would catch up with it inside five years.
Yet here we are in 2005, and there's still nothing close. Believe me,
I've been looking. Read the WebObjects developer mailing list for a
recap of the treatment WebObjects developers got at WWDC 2004.
I would love to get off WebObjects and replace it with something open
source. It would make web application development pitches easier if I
never have to mention the dreaded "A" word. I have clients who will
simply shut the door if I mention Apple's name, even today.
So I keep an eye on projects like Hibernate, Cayenne, Tapestry and
Ruby on Rails. And yet, each time I start a new project, I do the math
and rediscover WebObjects will deliver better software in less time.
Lord, I wish it weren't true, but it is.
