Robert,
Welcome to my world. Our company recently completed just such a
transition. We went to Oracle ADF/BC (A JSF implementation).
All I can say is to prepare yourself to see your nice clean
EOGenericRecord subclasses replaced by thousand plus line class and
XML configuration files.
But, the good news is those classes are a little easier to learn,
because they do a whole lot less than enterprise objects.

For some time now, my company has been set on leaving WebObjects.
We have been running WebObjects 5.2 on Windows servers. We haven't
moved 100% yet, but my next project will be using JavaServer
Faces. And another fairly new project will be using OpenLaszlo
with our existing J2E back-end.
Company's reasons for leaving:
1. WebObjects is proprietary
2. New versions of WebObjects is not supported on Windows
3. Perceived lack of knowledgeable WebObjects programmers (I'm in
the Chicago suburbs -- Northbrook, IL, to be precise)
We do NOT use:
1. Xcode/WebObjects tools [Xcode or WOBuilder or EOModeler] (except
for me on a MacBook Pro -- only because I requested it)
2. EOF
3. WONDER
4. Servlet container (which I do not prefer anyway)
I personally enjoy WebObjects development and wish that WebObjects
would be more palatable to companies such as mine.
Please excuse the ranting, but I want someone at Apple to know that
as great as WebObjects technology is [I personally think it is the
BEST I've seen anywhere], it is losing ground because if it's lack
in thet top 3 items mentioned. I wish so bad that Apple would do
something about it.
I'm guessing people's response will be: Don't hold your breath.
Pity. :(
