- Thread-topic: WO JavaClient apps security
Hi!
I am using WO JavaClient with WebObjects 5.2.3. I have no problems with runtime stability.
Things to consider:
1. Performance, both download time and runtime performance
2. Complexity of the technology
3. => Learning cure
4. => Documentation can't possibly cover it all
5. => May produce very obscure error messages or symptoms depending on where and when things go wrong
5. ==> Hard to debug
That said if you need that kind of complex and dynamic application the technology has impressive power. Despite using crappy Swing it has an huge edge over home brewed Swing applications.
I don't use XCode. I got a fine setup with Eclipse/WOLips on Windows. The Windows version of InterfaceBuilder is buggy as hell though.

No, its not a good idea, even Apple doesnt suggest that.

not much. i asked around for couple of days weather JavaClient is good.
the result in general not only for online use :
1. dont used it cos its too much buggey.
2. use it ONLY if you have no other choise.
3. u must have XCode.
tell me weather you learnt something more, i am interested in the scope too.
peaSe,
Sako.
