I am not a beginner in WebObjects, nor media asset management. So you can take my word for something when I say that the cheapest way to have something like that is to buy it from a software company.

Integrating WO and IM, having a sound way to handle media files in a database (something you're not going to throw after 2 months), managing the performance of such an app is definitely not an easy task. If I remember well, it should take you as much as 20 man months to have something really usable... ;-) Let's say you have the salary of a northern VA wo developer, that would make something around 100 000$. And I won't talk about The Learning Curve.

Unfortunately, I don't know well enough solutions to recommend you any one of them. Netxposure's Image Portal for X might be cheaper than the others, I don't know http://www.netx.net/.
Webware mambo used to work on WO platforms (the CTO is a Nextstep freak), but seems to be reluctant to do so now.
Maybe also Canto Cumulus web thingy is what you might consider: it fits exactly your needs. Out of my mind, I'd recommend you to spend money on this, not time on WO.


On the other side, if you're having the time and energy and will to do something like that, the solution you should built it on is WO, with Jmagick and QT for java (and some others too). But wait! We happen to have an app that does media asset management using webobjects (though old and badly working on 4.5). So I don't want you to become another competitor ;-)

Have a nice day though,
Cyril
