I think there is a lot of this with many companies doing the same
thing. Without Apple support of windows, it does not have much of a
future and the unsupported WOLips does not help enough. I have been
on and off this list or others like it for years and I read this all
the time and the WebObjects knowledge base is very small now. Apple
has killed WebObjects and WOLips is just slowing the death. I have
been doing WO for over a decade and I have never seen it this weak.
I'm working and still doing WO (Yea!) but i'm in the process of
moving off WO even-though it was a great technology. WO rest in peace...
cheers

For some time now, my company has been set on leaving WebObjects.
We have been running WebObjects 5.2 on Windows servers. We haven't
moved 100% yet, but my next project will be using JavaServer
Faces. And another fairly new project will be using OpenLaszlo
with our existing J2E back-end.
Company's reasons for leaving:
1. WebObjects is proprietary
2. New versions of WebObjects is not supported on Windows
3. Perceived lack of knowledgeable WebObjects programmers (I'm in
the Chicago suburbs -- Northbrook, IL, to be precise)
We do NOT use:
1. Xcode/WebObjects tools [Xcode or WOBuilder or EOModeler] (except
for me on a MacBook Pro -- only because I requested it)
2. EOF
3. WONDER
4. Servlet container (which I do not prefer anyway)
I personally enjoy WebObjects development and wish that WebObjects
would be more palatable to companies such as mine.
Please excuse the ranting, but I want someone at Apple to know that
as great as WebObjects technology is [I personally think it is the
BEST I've seen anywhere], it is losing ground because if it's lack
in thet top 3 items mentioned. I wish so bad that Apple would do
something about it.
I'm guessing people's response will be: Don't hold your breath.
Pity. :(
