Hi,
Is anyone else put in a bind by this approach?
We have a large number of production WebObjects applications that are
all running under 5.2.4. We are using Tiger Server, but we do not have
the resources to upgrade the WO and JVM under that to 5.3.x and 1.5 for
the dozens of WO applications that we have in production.
These are business critical production applications. Due to our
development cycle and available resources, we have not been able to
wholesale make the jump to 5.3.
To only provide support for the most current version of WebObjects--when
there is clearly a patch available for the earlier versions, but only if
you if fork over $6000--seems draconian to me.
For example, we are still able to get Solaris 8 patches from Sun without
paying extra for them, and that is three versions of the OS earlier.
This approach does not appear to show a good understanding of the
enterprise market and software development lifecycles.
We are a higher education operation. We run on tight budgets, and do not
have $6,000 set aside for this. I am just trying to find out if there
are others in our same boat.
