Hi, I'm not a developper but a deployer, so I can just reply on some point : >> --> I like strong typing, .... can i use java 5.0 with all the >> generic stuff and just >> avoid the buggy stuff (BigDecimal, ...) or is it too risky ?

When you deploy to a "Servlet > Single Directory Deploy" or as a "True WAR" all the WO frameworks (the > "runtime") are copied into the WEB-INF directory.

As long as you have put in the deployment license > key (see question 4 above) then it should work. You have the choice: _ tomcat (+apache with mod_jk)+WAR with WO framework inside _ Apache (with adaptor mod_webobjects)+ Webojects (wotaskd+framework+javamonitor) see http://developer.apple.com/documentation/WebObjects/Deployment/Deploying_Applications/Introduction/chapter_1_section_1.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000059-DontLinkElementID_43 for more informations. > >> >> --> the most important is that I want to be sure that soon I buy the >> mac I don't have to buy anything else >> just develop, then deploy on a target deploy machine (linux or >> windows) using this key ! > > That is my understanding.

Installing WO 5.3 under linux (or windows) is permited (see previous posts in this ML), but I don't know someone who succed (WO 5.3 only commes installed with tiger server) so chose WAR deployement with tomcat.
