It started with the modeling - it's easier in CoreData because one
doesn't have to worry about mapping to database tables - no primary
keys, no join tables for many-to-many relationships... It's got a
faster learning curve... Also I prefer Objective-C to Java. :-p.
I don't know how they want to build an application that
incorporates CoreData AND uses a Client-Server-Model AND compare
the development speed with WebObjects. EOF and CoreData look
similar but are designed for a very different target market.
It's not both. It's a fairly simple history tracker with a database
or database-ish backend. Could be done near as easily in PHP/MySQL or
C++ (if they didn't need a GUI) as WebObjects or Cocoa. Problem is
they don't know how they'll need to deploy it yet.

I'm still a relative newbie at WebObjects... got into it just
before WWDC last year, wrote the better part of an app that didn't
end up being needed, now developing a CoreData and WO app in
parallel since the client hasn't decided whether they want a
desktop or web app yet... fortunately, it's not too big a project,
and it's interesting in that the business logic is proving easier
to do in CoreData, but the application logic and presentation is
easier in WebObjects... but I digress.
I am not surprised that the presentation is easier in WO, HTML is a
rather simple, constrained UI. The difference in business logic
between CoreData and WO/EOF is intriguing. What is in CoreData /
lacking in WO that makes CoreData easier?
