Web Objects development options...

I am sure this question has been answered before but ....

We have been asked to convert a large WebObjects / Objective C app that was last modified in the year 2000 to a technology that is supportable today and, hopfully, for the next 10 years.  We are also looking for something simple and robust to use as WebObjects and would require minimial amount of effort to port.

The application has about 60 pages, 150 persistent objects and lots of logic in between.  It currently runs on Windows and Solaris with an Oracle back end.

We have explored JSF, Struts, Groovy, Rails, Python, Spring, Hybernate, JDO, J2EE, etc., etc.  In the end though, while most of these technologies score high on the current/future support criteria, some of them not as easy to develop in as WebObjects and each entails a complete rewrite of the application.

So, back to Apple as an option.  From what we have learned, the is still a Java version of the WebObjects frameworks available (and a facility to convert the old WebObjects/Objective C artifacts) that runs on Mac OS X.  Are there any other options or advice you can share or point us to (e.g. latest versions, support issues, successes?

Kindest regards,
-David
