Hi all,
Hey, I've added my Java Client Veogen templates to the Wiki, so it's
getting easier and easier to build a WO JC app again.
Flor, Paolo, if you can send me any EOGenerator templates you might
have that are custom to your new JC frameworks, I'll try to convert
them and post them also. Maybe if we're lucky, there'll be more JC
templates available than Web ones. Bwa ha ha ha ha!
Oh, the irony!
Next hurdle for me is to make a JC WebStart project template for
WOLips, and get the Ant build.xml file updated to split out the
common/client-side classes automatically into the WebServerResources
directory. As you may have seen, I've gotten lots of feature
requests into JIRA to make JC development a first-class WOLips
citizen.
Does anyone have specific requests or needs relating to WO Java
Client development?
My goal is that the next edition of Practical WebObjects will have a
nice Java Client section in there. :D Right, Chuck?!
Yes, unless you or Flor or Paolo write Practical JavaClient first! I
can't consider it a "Best Ignored" technology any more, thanks
entirely to the community's work on keeping it very much alive.

On a side note, Even though it is officially deprecated (for
now ;-), I've found that pure D2JC applications _do_ work with WO
5.4.1 and Leopard. By "pure" I mean absolutely no NIB files. Just
classes, an .eomodel and user.d2wmodel files. It's still deprecated
and I've only tested one application, but it is a relatively complex
one with lots of entities and rules.

PS, if you are receiving this directly its because I have noticed
that you previously have posted comments about doing WO Java Client
development to the Web Objects lists and I thought you might be
interested in its resurgence.
