Man, I really wish the problem were resources. I, myself, am a
supporter, a fan, a experienced developer of, an advocate of
WebObjects. I personally have some issues with the fact that the
native tools are gone (when and if I get to WO5.4). But as far as
the business's decisions to nix WebObjects are the first two items:
1. WebObjects is proprietary
2. New versions of WebObjects are not supported on Windows
If Apple would just take care of ONE of these two, the company would
be super happy! *I'D* be happy! And we could get on with our
lives. THEN, with the continued development with WebObjects I could
ask you, James, for help and whatnot, or even get the ok to get
another WebO guy in here! (Sorry, somehow people have been starting
to say "WebO" to the chagrin of many)
As for your response, Jeff, we have 3 developers (including me).
The main developer is the director of technology. She's big on
POJO, big on "standard" Java development, interested in RIA w/
OpenLaszlo, big on opensource stuff (I think her next plan is to use
Java Server Faces w/ Struts), and has inherited an app that uses
WebO for just session management and HTML rendering (UI). And she
has decided to go OpenLaszlo w/ Struts on top of the existing Java-
based core.
I think you've summed up the problem (for want of a better word). The
problem here is personal preference - nothing to do with whether or
not WebObjects is proprietory or worthwhile... i.e., you're
outnumbered in terms of 'familiar' technology... and people often just
go with what they know.
with regards,
