I have to respectfully disagree....
Web application server environments are by their nature complex and
made up a variety of different products. Web server, application
server, database server, directory server etc. The ultimate
responsibility of verifying compatibility clearly lies with the
solution provider(you) and not a product vendor. Components of a
solution should be assumed to be incompatible, until verified and
officially supported by the vendors (assuming your solution isn't an
ad hoc configuration) and then by the solution providers.
Apple never said WO 5.2 and Java 1.4.1 were compatible with one
another... And until they do, they aren't.

It would seem prudent that there are a couple of ways to inform WO
users of this issue of incompatibility.
The current list post from Webobject is a little too late.
I saw the update and allowed it be installed on my machine. I read
the
blurps noted in the update and saw no mention of issues with WO. It
would have been helpful to have at least a notice in the installer
update that WO and 1.4 are not yet ready to be married. Update at
your
own risk.....
Something along those lines would have been a responsible move. I
checked postings on this list and this is the first time in two days
of
an official position on compatibility.
Was someone asleep at the wheel? There is no logic in posting a
software update when it jeopardizes the integrity of a working
product
in the same family in which the update is derived. So my
installation
is potentially hosed. Could you please post the procedures to bring
my
system back into a stable product. I also downloaded the developer
tools update as well. How do I go back two days? If this is not
possible, could you please post reported troubled areas that are
currently reported as known issues? Water I should not tread on so
to
speak.
