Hello, Since this topic was unclear and some people wrongly quoted the FAQ entry, I updated that and hopefully made it clearer. In short:
Up to WO 5.2: Officially supported on other platforms, $ 699 WO 5.3: Free on all platforms but unsupported. As various people stated, using SSDD or other methods is probably easiest to get things working. The updated FAQ entry below in the Wiki, please update it if it's still unclear. I tried to link to the various posts from Apple Tech Support on the topic... ___________________ Q. How can I deploy WebObjects on other platforms (other than OS X Server) ? The ***current*** WO 5.3 version can be deployed for ***free*** on most Java platforms, eg. using Tomcat or JBoss, but only OS X Server is officially supported. You need a WebObjects license key for deployment. Once you have installed the 5.3 development tools bundled with Xcode, the license key can be found here: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaWebObjects.framework/Resources/License.key As documented by Cliff Tuel, Apple Technical Support at http://lists.apple.com/archives/webobjects-deploy/2006/Jul/msg00010.html and http://lists.apple.com/archives/webobjects-deploy/2006/Jul/msg00019.html If you do not want to install the tools, and simply want the license key, it can be obtained from the installer package by following these instructions: http://lists.apple.com/archives/webobjects-dev/2005/Dec/msg00191.html and http://lists.apple.com/archives/webobjects-dev/2005/Dec/msg00193.html Blog Quotes regarding this: http://www.friday.com/bbum/2005/11/11/webobjects-deployment-license-change/ The ***older*** WO 5.2 version is officially supported for development and deployment on other platforms and can be licensed here for volume deployments http://developer.apple.com/softwarelicensing/agreements/webobjects.html - or you can buy a boxed WO 5.2 software for $ 699 which contains a single deployment license. ______________ PS: This doesn't cover app distribution for WO 5.3, which is also unclear to me...anyway, should cover the other 95% ;-)) Marc _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
