Hi John, Thanks for the follow up.
The bottom line is that for the current contract that I am on, WO is plagued in two (of the same old) areas: 1) Lack of developers. As we all know, its a pretty tiny marketplace. The people generally are top notch, but nonetheless for a large company they need from a risk management perspective to know that they can find people, whether current employees or run over a bus, find more interesting things to do in life - or whatever. 2) Lack of client side stuff. I personally have steered clear of JavaScript since when Netscape first prefixed the name 'java' onto their client-side browser scripting technologies. Nonetheless, for large companies and for internal-only back office operations, it is nice to be able to deliver quasi-native-desktop application working environments to folks within the browser with minimal risk to core functionality. It seems that GWT is relatively mature now and is possibly a solution for the work scenario I am in. I will also follow up with you off-list within the couple of days. Again, thank you for the follow up. - mike On May 19, 2011, at 8:24 PM, John Huss wrote: > I don't think it's actively maintained.
