I knew someone would get a "WO is dead" comment onto the list somehow
but I honestly thought it would be in response
to the WWDC calendar. That one was out of left field! Mike, I've
been working with WO for almost a decade and I've seen
it much weaker than it is right now.

I think there is a lot of this with many companies doing the same
thing. Without Apple support of windows, it does not have much of a
future and the unsupported WOLips does not help enough. I have
been on and off this list or others like it for years and I read
this all the time and the WebObjects knowledge base is very small
now. Apple has killed WebObjects and WOLips is just slowing the
death. I have been doing WO for over a decade and I have never seen
it this weak. I'm working and still doing WO (Yea!) but i'm in the
process of moving off WO even-though it was a great technology. WO
rest in peace...
cheers

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. :(
