Honestly, if you don't use EOF and you use Flex/OpenLazlo/Silverlight/ whatever, WO is pretty useless in those cases. The two biggest advantages of WO is EOF and the presentation layer, if you only use Web services without connecting to a database (what is your data sources ??) and start using a RIA layer, you don't use much WO power (unless you are generating your LZX XML stuff dynamically from your WO app).

Sorry, I did not see the offer of a support contract. Who was it from? Was it the post by Mike Schrag? Call at let me know the cost for such a thing! 312-246-5509

I still think that the mind of the director is set on RIA (OpenLaszlo) -- which I have personally integrated with WebObjects over SOAP just fine -- but with Struts. I just don't know how to convince her.

I do like OpenLaszlo (the resulting UI just feels fun and coding in the LZX XML is not bad). But if it went away and there were no more WebO ... I mean this job has been the best ever, but ... well, at least I'd still be doing Java-something.

If I were tech director, I'd take a step back and re-do the whole thing in OpenLaszlo/WebO/Java!

I can ask about WWDC08.

The answer will probably be no since the decision was made quite a long time ago (hard to de-couple it right now tho, so it will definitely be a while).

Still the 3 issues I mentioned aren't going away, are they? You probably addressed the 3rd, but 1 and 2 are unfortunately stuck in the minds of the technology directors.

1. Is clearly a totally bogus argument coming from a Windows shop. Until they switch to Linux I can't imagine how you could even hear that argument without breaking into raucous fits of laughter.

2. You obviously didn't read all of the thread that you started. There was offer of a support contract in there if you read it.
