Nolan,

The beauty of WebObjects being implemented 100% in Java is you don't have to make that choice. You can leverage the power of WebObjects and EOF, and still use any other Java libraries you want.

Hello.

First off, let me say that I absolutely love what Apple has done with Cocoa.
(I owned a NeXTStation '040 back in the mid 1990s and now wish I had
done more software development with it instead of trading it for a Sun Sparc 5,
but hindsight is 20/20. )


I'm in the process of working up an idea for a client/server application that will
have a rich front end written in Cocoa as well as a web-based front end.
Most, if not all, of the server-based portion of the application will be
written in Java.


When Web Objects first appeared, the Java API was rather sparse.
There wasn't support for a number of classes that exist now, and using WOs
made a lot sense. Given that I am already familiar with Cocoa classes,
using WOs still makes some sense given that it implements many of the Cocoa
classes that I am familiar using and makes database access a little easier.


My question is this, given the rich API that Java offers today, why should I use
Web Objects on a new project?



Thanks in advance, Nolan Whitaker http://www.NolanWhitaker.com
