Chuck,
Ooooh, nice! How wonderful to see a reply from you. You and Art were
two of the largest helps last year when we were dealing with another
project on WebObjects. I'm glad to see you are still around.
By "service-level development" I am referring to application-like
processes that launch and run, without any interaction, when the
computer starts. They must be able to handle port-specific requests
for SMTP and POP3. By "web development" I am referring to the
front-end work (web-based UI stuff). The overall project is a
cross-platform email system (custom, to meet certain client specs). In
short, the main components are:
1. A user accessible web-based UI
2. A back end service to move files and handle database transactions
(the MTA)
3. A custom POP3 service to interact with the database and file system
4. A custom SMTP service to process outgoing messages
I personally program in VB, VB.NET, C++, C#, and Java. Unfortunately,
the CURRENT project has a deadline that I must meet. So, under the
circumstances, obviously it would be less desirable to do two languages
instead of one.
ANY input is greatly appreciated.
Thanx,
Ryan

What do you mean by "service-level development"? Web services?
Operating system services? I'd think twice or more about tying your
cross platform web application to OS specific custom services.
Would these be better implemented as threads or in another (portable)
Java process?

Can I use Objective-C for development with WO? If not, is there one
language that I can learn/use for both service-level development as
well as web development?
I need to build a project from start to finish. This project has a
web front-end and several services that will need to run in the
background. I had planned on using WebObjects to build the front
end. However, someone on another list said that Objective-C is what
I will need to use to do the services. I would just hate to use
learn/use two separate languages to do this.
Thanx,
Ryan
