Filemaker provides a JDBC driver compatible with both Windows and MacOS
X. I have never used this.
How well it will work without the use of the WebObjects plugin is
uncertain and you would have to try it. The existence of a 3rd party
plug-in would suggest that there are some issues or that it is
definitely sub-optimal without the plug-in.
WO is a large and complex product. Depending upon your requirements,
you may find that the standard features of Filemaker Pro Unlimited to
publish data 'instantly' on the web may be sufficient.

It is not free .... I don't know of anyone who is using it. I use
FileMaker for quick n dirty databases at work, but I would be cautious
about using it as a backend for WebObjects ......... it's like putting
a Toyota Corolla engine into a BMW 745i.
If you have to connect to legacy FileMaker Pro databases from a
WebObjects app to get some legacy data to complement your main WO app,
then I guess it might be a good solution, but as a backend SQL
enterprise database for WebObjects, I would try the free MySQL first
.... (www.mysql.com).
Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

Yes, this web publishing is all dynamic and it updates my database
from the web. Hundreds of records are there in most of the database
files, some of them have in thousands.
I don't think so that I have JDBC diver for the WebObjects !! how do
I get it???

Will you be updating your databases using the web or is it purely
static publishing? Approximately how many records are there in
these database files?
Do you have a JDBC driver for WebObjects? I have never used
FileMaker myself.

Thanks for the reply Karl,
Ok let's be more specific. I have around 45-50 FileMaker databases
related to each other, mostly just tables of data and some of them
have images also, but it's not like Tb or billion of records. I
hope, size of the database don't matter as far as connectivity
between the FileMaker and EOModeler is concerned.
Thanks again,

Hi Ankur,
I think that you would have to define 'huge' and give us a bit
more information about what you want to publish. Is it pictures,
video, etc? Or just tables of data?
Huge to me would be when you go past the 1Tb or billion record
mark...

was trying to connect my EOModeler to the FileMaker database, but
didn't get through it !! does anyone knows the answer??
Thanks for the help,
