I think that maybe a more constructive use of our collective time would
be to write a tool that generated a Tapestry shell project from a
WebObjects project. I've only briefly looked at Tapestry but the
front-end code is very similar. The OR stuff would llkely be much
harder but if Cayenne or Hibernate generates a text or XML version of
the mapping, it may be that we could write some code to convert
WebObjects to Tapestry. I've thought about a starting a project
internally to develop a Tapestry version alongside of the WebObjects
version so that there is a fallback approach in case WO dies or doesn't
grow in the next few years. I don't think it will but all the FUD out
there on the subject can rattle anyones nerves when a big project is
being developed.
This sort of tool would greatly alleviate the concern that some
newcomers are going to be stuck with a sinking ship.
Also Tapestry just seems like a likely fit from my perspective because
I personally can't stand using EJB so I wouldn't consider "switching"
to that model but maybe others would want to work on something like
that (although I'm guessing that would be immensely complex).
just a thought...

I still think we might all be better served by a site that weaned us

14-step program with a strong support group that helps us all put this
thing out of its misery and move on.
