Well, I have thought of a solution. Once again my experience with
WebObjects is very limited. What I want to do is create a
web-application from which one can upload the daily transactions from
the bank, (a delimited text file). Users can then log in, "buy" the
deposits and receipt them again the debtors. This is pretty much like
an e-commerce website. Would WebObjects be a quick way to set
something up like this. How difficult will it be? This is currently
captured on a spreadsheet and I think above application will be a great
audit trail and will cut out the middle man and ease up reconciling at
month end.
Regards
Andre

off. Can I develop something like that with WebObjects?
Sure you can. You've got all of the Java libraries at your disposal.
I frequently build simple little apps that have a single Web page
that supports input (e.g., paths to the files to be reconciled) and a
submit button that starts the processing with possibly a WOString that
displays output.
One problem with such apps is that WO is a server technology, so it
is designed to run continuously. That means that killing the process
when it's finished isn't so convenient which is why I typically run
these processes from within Project Builder.
But I find writing such apps to be generally easier using Cocoa.
Reading a file using the Java API is much more clunky than using
Cocoa. Cocoa provides the NSOpenPanel which is much nicer than
manually entering file paths. And it's much easier to launch and quit
a Cocoa app.
