| Hi LON,
thanks for responding to my request.
Now I found the following information about my question regarding mixed deployment, in an old WO document from 2002:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deploying WebObjects 4.5.1 and WebObjects 5 Applications
If you want to deploy WebObjects 4.5.1 and WebObjects 5 or WebObjects 5.1applications on the same computer, you must ■ install WebObjects 4.5.1 Deployment and either WebObjects 5 or WebObjects 5.1Deployment on the computer ■ use either the WebObjects 5, or 5.1 versions of Monitor and wotaskd
Note that you cannot use the 4.5.1 version of wotaskd together with the 5 or 5.1version of Monitor. Furthermore, you cannot deploy 4.5.1, 5, and 5.1 applications onthe same computer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.. so the last sentence says: "no mixed deployment is possible" ;(
We still have deployed some of our WO apps, based on WO 4.5.1 on several OS platforms, like SUN OS, Windows 2003 Server and Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther). And they still do a good and stable job there. My main problem isn't the mixed deployment, but that we found no way to connect to our 4.5.1 apps through the WODefaultAdaptor, on Mac OS X versions higher than 10.3.9 (Panther). So we have this Mac Xserve based apps on really old OS, with no ongoing support. The only way for us is to deploy this on Windows and SUN OS, but not on current modern Mac OS X 10.5.x/10.6 and coming Mac OS. As far as I see is the problem here the WODefaultAdaptor and/or wotaskd are using an unavailable service or the configuration or naming etc. has changend somewhere after Panther. ;(

Yes, we are the ONE shop in the world with 4.01 apps still deployed (and developed). :P However, we do not do mixed deployment and don't use 4.5.x at all. We currently deploy on Solaris and develop on Windows (for 4.0.1 apps). (We also have some 5.4.3 apps deployed on Linux)
Sorry I wasn't any help!

... in a chat with Pascal Robert I just had, he was so friendly to let me know that he thinks you have some deployed WO 4.0.1 apps. So I would like to ask you if you have experience wit deployment of 4.x.x apps on current Mac OS versions: from Tiger, Leopard till now SnowLeopard ? And if yes, did you ever try a mixed deployment with Java based WO 5.x versions ?
My question comes from the info I found in the JavaMonitor.woa in the "Help/Deployment FAQ" - which states:
Q: Can I use 4.5.x and 5.x on the same machine?
A: The only supported mixed deployment is 4.5.1 Deployment + 5.x Deployment. No mixed developments are supported. In addition, in a mixed 4.5.1/5.x deployment, only the 5.x tools (wotaskd and Monitor) should be used.
---------
I got them run both (4.5.1 and 5.3.4) in parallel on my Leopard 10.5.8 MacBookPro, the 5.3.4 in correct Monitor/Apache environment through Standard WOAdaptor, but unfortunately my 4.5.1 apps only through the embedded socket addresses localhost:<port>.
.. so did you ever hear something about such kind of mixed deployment of 4.5.1 and 5.4.3 on the same machine ?
Best Regards from Berlin,
Herwart
