The problem in the past with WO is that the threading sucked. OK, maybe non-existant is a better way to put it. For example, in order to meet requirements of being able to handle 100 concurrent sessions, 20 instances of a WO Application needed to be running on an NT server. This meant that once a session was started on an instance every other transaction of that session needed to get back to that application instance, if it was busy.... you waited. For this application, WO needed a quad processor pentium with 1 G of memory !!!!! Hell, my linux box can handle that many users using JavaServlets..... The lack of scalability of past versions of WO prevented it from being used in many high volume web sites. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy using WO. But I believe that you must choose the proper technology for any given job, and historically, WO hasn't been it when it comes to large, scalable applications.
