Hi list,

I think it is a very good idea to write a book about legacy WebObjects. It 
would be great to capture how easy it worked compared to this eclipse/wonder 
stuff. It would be even nicer if everyone one the list could participate in 
describing how an updated WO 2012 à la Apple would look like:
- added support for new databases
- integration with iOS app development (deploy WOA on iOS)
- Jquery mobile kind of support like the framework Ken wrote, but integrated in 
an app like WO builder
- New HTML editor in WO builder
- integration with Netbeans / glassfish server for deployment
- more?

In other words: which architecture would be used for WO 6.0?

Cheers, Bart
