Oh I've got all that set and the deployment works fine, I'm more
concerned about the actual license, I don't want to deploy non
-compliant, but I'm not going to throw another $600 out if it's not
required, this is a small company, (very, I'm the programmer, sales
guy, network engineer & janitor, my wife keeps the books). I have the
Content Switch as a by product of another project, I'm using Fire 100's
because they are $999, rather than than $1999 for the cheapest XServe.
What I really want to know is the licensing, and from the initial
comments, I'm assuming that WO and I will be parting ways very very
soon. $600 in addition to my fees to develop something is going to be
a non-starter for my customers, who are for the most part SOHO
businesses.
Of course, if I'm faced with another $600 outlay, I'll probably rewrite
the WO app as an EJB/JSP app, despite the fact that WO is a better and
more complete technology today :-)
