Wish there were more documentation! There only seems to be the Apple
book coupled with their examples, which don't usually get as complex
as one would like. Try questions on the group because there are a few
of us JC developers around. Basically, you'll probably hit and have
to solve a lot of basic problems in the first few months. But after
that you start to know how to do things and what to avoid and
amazingly for a lot of flakiness that you hit in Apple's software
early on – which leads one to think it must all be flaky – the guts
of it is really very solid.
Now if, they'd just fix those EOModeler problems and a few other
things, people would not be dropping it early before finding the
rest of it is pretty solid.

Hi all,
Can anyone give me some pointers on good resources for Web-Objects
Java Client development?
I realize I'm in the minority here, but I recently began developing
using WebObjects and I am NOT creating a web application. I am
working on building a Java Client application. I believe I've
gotten a lot of the data & object model stuff worked out and am
VERY happy with the ready-made java client interface for
maintaining data in the database.
I'm ready to start adding the business logic, customizing the
screens and such but the only information really available for this
is the Apple book "Java Client Desktop Applications" that came with
WO. If I were trying to build web-based client app there would be
LOTS of really good books (most of which I own) but when developing
a java client, There just isn't much.
Direct to Java has worked wonders for me in making it insanely easy
to modify my data and object models as I iterate through prototypes
and the customer changes or qualifies the requirements. I want to
now build on this solid foundation but I am feeling a little out-on-
my-own-ish. Even Chuck's forthcoming book on Xcode and WO is aimed
at web development.
I'll be posting some specific questions soon, but if anyone can
point me to some good resources now, hopefully it will reduce my
dependance upon the list.
Thanks!
Dave
