Why not?

If you checked Apple's website there's a WebObjects State of the Union on 24 June - 9:00 am - 10:30 am (check WWDV timetables under the 'IT Enterprise' section). My guess is that this is where WO stuff would be really discussed. It'd be surprised if we got anyone here writing about it today.

And even if there's not much news... So what? Why would Apple build its great and big online music store with a technology bound for the scrap heap???

Personally, I think you should look at the API differences between WO5.1 and WO5.2. There's a lot of work going on. My guess Apple will release big changes in the next release of WO. Maybe the delay is due to the fact that this time they're actually testing it before it is released. :)

I am not at the developer conference and am attempting to figure how WO fits into the future of Panther Server..... In all the literature I see no mention of WO. This includes Xcode.

Most of the the Xcode features discussed apply mostly to ObjC/C++/C (i.e., Cocoa) rather than Java development. The Java compilers supported by PBX are from Sun and IBM, so Apple doesn't seem to have as much control over them as they do over the ObjC/C++/C compiler, gcc. So while Xcode does claim to support Java, I suspect that Java development won't be much different behind the scenes than it is with PBX, although the Xcode GUI seems to be quite different.


My question is that the fact that there is little mention of WO with OSX Panther Server. Will WO be supported under Panther Server?

I would be VERY surprised if it didn't.
