If anyone can answer the questions on my post, that would be great.

Well, when I started investigating what tools I was going to use to
develop my site, I discovered OpenLaszlo. Of the free tools I have
investigated so far, it is by far the easiest and quickest way to
develop a very attractive front end. And it's completely object-orient
which should make WebObjects folks feel right at home. Furthermore, it
deploys as a JSP. It gets better and better. Well almost...
OpenLaszlo has several ways to get data into its front end. It can
read XML files and through JSP servlets it can access any JDBC
database from what I could tell. Now for a WebApp where the user just
retrieves information (e.g. real estate listings), one could create a
WO app with DirectAction methods that return XML. Great!
However, I would imagine that's not the best way to make a fully
interactive app. Well, according to the OpenLaszlo ("OL")docs, they
have a Java-RPC. From what I can tell, your OL app (since it is a
servlet itself) can access the objects of other Java classes as long
as the classes are in the the OL app folder. Unfortunately, I'm not a
Tomcat, J2EE, JSP (whatever) expert...heck, I'm barely a novice. So I
have no idea how one would actually accomplish this.
But the thought of it is surely exciting. Instead of worrying about
SOAP or XML, being able to directly access our WO Objects would be the
greatest thing since sliced bread. If anyone who has done this or
might have an dea of how to do it. Please post a step-by-step
tutorial. You would be my saviour and when I sell my app to Google for
$832 million, I'll make sure you get a piece of the pie!
