ADC accounts don't qualify, because they include DTS incidents,
and DTS only
supports WebObjects 5.3, not 5.2. The least-expensive support
program that
would get you the DST patch for 5.2 is OS X Server Select (which
is not the
same as "ADC Select").
Hi,
Is anyone else put in a bind by this approach?
We have a large number of production WebObjects applications that
are all running under 5.2.4. We are using Tiger Server, but we do
not have
the resources to upgrade the WO and JVM under that to 5.3.x and 1.5
for the dozens of WO applications that we have in production.
What exactly do you need to do? Why do you need to upgrade?
If it is only for the time zone problems, I have instructions on one
of my blog posts about how to fix it. One does not even need WO
skills to execute the fix. It is a purely java-level operation.

time-and-space.html
Is there something else in the later versions of WO that you need?
What could that be?
These are business critical production applications. Due to our
development cycle and available resources, we have not been able to
wholesale make the jump to 5.3.
To only provide support for the most current version of WebObjects--
when there is clearly a patch available for the earlier versions,
but only if
you if fork over $6000--seems draconian to me.
For example, we are still able to get Solaris 8 patches from Sun
without paying extra for them, and that is three versions of the OS
earlier.
This approach does not appear to show a good understanding of the
enterprise market and software development lifecycles.
I hope you really did not say that with a straight face.
Here's one. When will Steve Jobs finally understand the enterprise?
When Pixar is making a Star Trek movie. Then, he'll get it.
We are a higher education operation. We run on tight budgets, and
do not have $6,000 set aside for this. I am just trying to find out
if there
are others in our same boat.
There probably are. You should be careful about assuming you need any
upgrade. Actually, you should be careful about assuming anything
about what Apple is going to do.
That being said. WebObjects has been moribund for enough time that
even older versions are still fairly current. This DST issue threw a
monkey-wrench into the situation, but if that is the only problem,
there is an easy fix.
