Hallo,
a possible clients provider said, that they have fear that a WebObjects App on a LInux would be a security problem. As the port to Linux is really a hack it would pose problems with the possibility of teh server
being hacked because of that.

Can someone who deploys on Linux (in my case debian, but... I suppose the linux breed is not relevant here) please comment on that. Are there measures I can take to ensure, there is no security risk coming from this setup?

I was also told, they feared a performance problem if a WebObjects app would connect to the mysql database they build (which is used for other purposes as well). Has anyone experience with a App with higher traffic (about 240.000 hits per day, most of that read only. About 3000 concurrent users). Can a WebObjects app pose a problem
to database performace in such a case (or in any case)?

I was advised to let the website programm in php instead (preferably by the provider itself, I think, but that was not said, of course). Would php have any advantages in respect to the database performance (or to performance in general)? Or would it have a clear advantage in respect to security (what I really doubt, php can be as insecure as anything else, depending on the usage).

Any hints welcome.

Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Ute
