I’m quite interested to use Scala inside my WebObjects applications but after 
some problems with Eclipse, I’ve restricted it to the tests. 

Could you give me more information how you manage the use WebObjects 
collections and conversions ?

Which part of WebObjects do you think is more appropriate / easier to use 
Scala: business logic / component part / ... ?
