Thanks everyone.
What about Windows compatibility? I have a project in mind, parts of
which will need to run as Java client applications on Windows machines.
Are there any major headaches in the compatibility department for Java
applications?
I'm new to java (I'm primarily a C/Objective C/AppleScript programmer)
and never use Windows but the clients I have in mind will definitely
be more enthusiastic if my app will run on both Macs an PCs

I don't see any prospect of Apple dropping WO. It is behind so much of
what they do. It isn't a priority for them to promote it but they are
definitely making commitments to major clients with WO being a core
feature of their enterprise sell.
As to selling it to clients, we may or may not even mention that its
WO, depending upon the client. If it is a WebSphere shop, then its
just our Java frameworks deployed as a WAR file...who needs to mention
WO at all?
If the Java shop is smart then you can usually blow them away with an
overview of the WO API.

I'm just dipping my toes into WebObjects (looks really cool so far)
but I'm VERY nervous about Apple's commitment to it. I got really
burned when they dropped OpenDoc in the 90's, lost almost a year's
work and I don't want to go down that road again.
How busy are you WebObject pros?
Do you get the sense that it's something Apple plans to stick with
for the next five years or so?
Have WebObjects projects been a hard sell to clients?
Thanks for any info
