Well, it's Apple who write the WO license, and their license clearly says that we can deploy on any OS... And I'm glad they did because leasing or buying a Xserve to host wocommunity.org would mean instant bankrupt for me...

If we want Apple to release new WebObjects versions, beyond 5.4.3, to the community, the worst thing we can do is talking about Windows and Linux. We should be very clear about this: if we expect Apple to do anything for us in the regard, we should be loyal to Apple by only developing and deploying on Apple equipment. Otherwise, I am afraid that 5.4.3 will be the last version we will ever see...

With Kind Regards,

Dennis Gaastra,
Chief Technology Officer,

1) The customer sometimes is willing to compromise and give you a Linux box ... deployment on Linux is as easy as Mac more-or-less. So, if they won't let you use Mac, ask if you can use Linux.... and setup CentOS or RHEL on it.

2) Project Wonder has source for Adaptors. I see IIS adaptor source in there. No idea how good it is:

Hello everybody,

due to the fact that some of our customers use Windows servers, I would be interested how others deploy their WO apps on Windows these days...

The wiki only refers to Apache when it comes to WO 5.4 on Windows and does not mention IIS...

However, some customers need specific IIS features like Single- Sign-On via ActiveDirectory or do not want another web server for political reasons.

How do you deal with that?

Is it still possible to use the old 5.2 adaptors (CGI or ISAPI) with modern IIS versions and WO 5.4? How about 64-bit-ness?

Would it be possible to set up WO 5.2 and just replace all the frameworks with the 5.4 equivalents so that at least the CGI adaptor (WebObjects.exe) from the old version works?

Has Apple ever released the source of the Windows adaptors so that they could be recompiled for 64-bit IIS?

Thanks for your input.

Ralph
