I've been working on a project for the Federal Trade Commission, upgrading an enterprise Client/Server application. We're developing in WebObjects, with a services-oriented architecture. I am wondering if anyone else is doing something along the same lines -- we're writing a "best practices" guide and I would like to get others' input.

As far as the web services end of things is concerned, it is beneficial to consider the guidelines established by the Web Services Interoperability Organization (http://www.ws-i.org/). They have some interoperability evaluation tools available for download at http:// www.ws-i.org/Testing/Tools/2005/06/WSI_Test_Java_Final_1.1.zip. The "document-literal wrapped" style of WSDL is the order of the day when it comes to web service interoperability. There's a good summary of WSDL styles here: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/ library/ws-whichwsdl/


On the WO end of things, I would recommend doing as much as possible with standard-ish Java tools (i.e. use log4j/commons-logging instead of NSLog; use the Java Collections interfaces where possible instead of NSDictionary, NSArray, etc.) This is more for the purpose of having a larger pool of potential software developers to draw from as opposed to making the code "better." The less WO-specific stuff there is to learn to come up to speed on your software, the better.

For deployment, you may want to avoid WO's application server and go with standard J2EE packaging. This may make your applications more readily embraced/supported in non-WO environments. I haven't personally deployed WO apps in J2EE environments, so I can't speak to how much pain is lost/gained by doing so.

P.S. In spite of my statements above regarding doing things in a "standard" manner, I have seen nothing that surpasses WO in terms of productivity and pure enjoyment in development. Glad to see it being used for what sounds like a significant application!
