I am a beginner with WebObjects, so you may get better input, but the
cheapest way to do something like this would be with WebObjects.....
(assuming you already proficient at OO programming).
Probably there are plenty of developers on the WebObjects list that
would be happy to create such a project on a contract basis..... if you
are in a hurry and want to pay someone to do it.
If you plan to do it yourself, then the most inexpensive database
backend (which runs fine on the XServe) would probably be MySQL
(www.mysql.com), using BLOB types for your photos. You would also need
something like ImageMagick (FREE from www.imagemagick.org) for image
manipulation so that you can create JPEG thumbnails (reduction scaling)
of the images and conversion from one format such as TIFF to another
such as JPEG.
WebObjects has built-in classes for streaming files up or down to the
user which is important for big files, which can happen with high-res
TIFFs for example.
In conclusion, yes, WebObjects can do this, but remember that
WebObjects may be the central technology, but it is not the only
technology used in the final solution.

Really, other than the image manipulation programming

Brand new to the Xserve as we just bought one
(allready have a T1 line in place)
We are a photo studio, and one thing we would like to
do with our server is to have a database of images
that customers can access via a web browser.
This password protected database should be a visual
page of thumbnails in which they can download large
tiffs or small jpegs from the ones they like.
It should look like Extensis Portfolio or a contact
sheet.
We have found this company that sell server software
that does just this but they want a lot of $$$$$ for
it.

Is it possible to build something like this with
webobjects?
Thanks
