Chuck, I guess I'd have to go back tomorrow and Check my WO version, but my gut 
feeling tells me it is 5.4.2, that was the version released in late '07 early 
'08 that supported the Mac Intels.

Thanks all for the responses!

Some answers to your questions:

"I think what you are saying is that you were using Apple Development tools 
including Xcode and WOBuilder to design your apps but now… now you’ve upgraded 
your Mac and you can’t run them anymore…. You sorta know that your only choice 
is to go Eclipse… does this sound like your situation? I’m guessing too :-) ""  
 -- Yes, can no longer run WO on my current machine. It is dying, and cannot 
patch it with anymore old parts.

Plain JSP is what I am thinking of switching to.

The reason we're stripping out the webobjects from the code is due to the 
server it lies on. It is running on a decade old mac, version 10.5.8.
My understanding is that i cannot run a webobjects app on a windows box (or 
maybe Red Hat)? Am I correct with my thoughts on that....?

If you are running WebObjects 5.4.x, then it will run on any box with JDK 1.5 – 
1.7 (not sure about 1.8).  If you meant WebObjects 4.5.x then that is 
Objective-C based and you have a much worse problem.  As of version 5.0, 
WebObjects is pure java.

I need a simple Java framework to convert all the code in, JSP is what I first 
thought of, but I'm open to suggestions.
The application listserv type app, where users are creating, adding, removing 
people form listservs.
As, one of you mentioned it does use the EOF, so I would need to rewrite that, 
and I don't know much as to what it is involved in there eitehr either.
Any guidance as to what to expect would be greatly appreciated.
Apologies for the confusing questions.

Thank you all!

Hi Ada,

Hey sorry… so many responses and we’re all confused.

WO 5.4 is pure java. There is nothing to convert.

When you switch to Eclipse and install the WOLips plugin it will work. You 
don’t need to convert anything.

Get Eclipse version 3.7.x and WOLips.

WebObjects *is* pure java (there is no magic ‘other’ language or anything). It 
is a full web publishing stack.

If you have a WebObjects application, you are probably talking to a database, 
if so that uses the entity relational mapping layer of WebObjects called EOF.

The display layer of the stack builds UI elements using WOComponents (each 
comprised of a chunk of HTML, it’s associated Java and a bindings file (.wod) 
to tie them together), and has classes to handle session management etc.

If by “pure java” you mean “unencumbered by Apple’s frameworks” then you are 
faced with rewriting your application to use a different ERM layer and display 
layer. Perhaps Tapestry/Cayenne. Regardless, this is not a simple undertaking.

The GUI of the app is in webobjects; there's components which utilize WO.
I am not sure what to expect if I were to take the code and run it on Eclipse 
without WOLips, I am going to try that soon, but was looking some guidance on 
how to rewrite the GUI (it is rather simple) into Java.

Hello all,

We're looking to convert one of our WebObjects Apps to pure java. Wondering if 
there's a tool which could help with this process. The application is running 
WO 5.4 on Java 5.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
