That seems like a rather big drawback.
Deployment turns into a single war file that is easy to do. It is
much easier to deploy a war versus setting up a wo deployment.
With the full embedding now available in WOProject, I suspect that a
fully embedded .woa may now be easier to deploy. You do still need to
deploy the web server resources in a separate step.
The other big gain is support for non wo supported platforms like
Linux, solaris, and windows
The only thing not cross platfom is mod_webobjects and that is fairly
easy to build and mDimension kindly hosts several pre-built versions:

From what I have seen, the only real reasons to use servlet
deployment are:
- access to things like jsp tagging
- deployment on hosting services that don't support WO (which would be
most of them...)
- deployment in a mixed environment where servlet deployment has been
mandated as the standard
At least as of a couple years ago, ITMS was using standard WO
deployment. They need all the bang they can get, so if servlet was
better I expect they would have used that.

Hi all!
Quick question.
We're currently running a WO deployment architecture (wotaskd and
JavaMonitor). Some of our developers are adamant about switching to
using a servlet container for WO applications, specifically they
want to switch to Glassfish.
So, basically my questions are:
1) Is there anything gained by this change?
2) Is there anything lost by this change?
3) Does anyone here have experience running WO on Glassfish?
3) To sum it up: Should I care?
Cheers,
