Perhaps my english is difficult to understand. I'm sorry. I love WO! I
learned to use many other application servers like JSP/EJB, ASP, Zope,
4D, My conclusion is: WO is the best application server, and with a
big gap!
I just said that today, we have to not work with the last version of WO
because a web project takes long time and we haven't any visibility for
the futur of WO. So, we can only work with a one year old version of
WO. And the message of Apple is with Jaguar: use WO 5.1, and with
Panther: use WO 5.2, even if the 5.3 will be released soon.
So, if you want to use Panther, just buy WO 5.2, and wait MacOS X.4 to
buy the next release of WO.

Ok. So we've all heard the bitching about Apple not letting people
know about future products and whether or not WO will be around in 5
years... or next year for that matter.
But here's why I stopped worrying and learned to love the 'bomb'...
WO/EOF is the app server I know and enjoy using. It does it for me
right now. I will eventually learn something else, but right now I
don't need to. The current release of WO is mostly bug free and
works. If Apple just killed WO right now it wouldn't matter, my
license isn't going to suddenly stop working. But I really don't
think Apple is going to just kill it off. It's being used too much
in-house (iTMS, Apple Store, .mac, etc.)
If you're worried about price... Panther will ship with 5.2
deployment. It's most likely to stay that way until 10.4 or whatever.
10.2 kept the WO5.1 bundled deployment as far as I know. So buy
Panther and get the free deployment licenses. If another version of
WO comes out that costs you money you'll most likely still get the
free deployment license again. So all you'll need to buy is a copy of
WO for each developer. And unless you have more servers than
developers you shouldn't have a problem.
Of course if you don't already have 5.2, then that's a little
different. And I might suggest to wait until a new version is
announced. Do you really need to upgrade to 5.2 today?
