Not to be too blunt, but you might also
want to consider moving to a Witango-centric ISP, such as myself.
The LITE version does not have
advertisements, however you can not use TCFs, it does not process more than 2
requests at a time and it can’t hold a high number of user scopes, I want
to say 10. It would be great for a light traffic site, or a backend forms
processor (for example) to a standard html site.

Advice
Has anyone actually put this into a production
environment? Are there any 'advertisements' like you get with a trial version
(i.e. this page was served by a Lite version of Witango server)?
Your suggestion makes sense, provided the ISP is willing to either install the
complete Lite server or at least the client so I can point it to a server that
I'm running myself.
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone that has actually used the Lite server.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Steve Smith

the free LITE version of Witango (both editor and server are available). You
may be able to work within the limitations for a small / low traffic solution.
(or at least to get things going). Also, if you have no user scope
requirements, the small business server would also work.

Subject: Witango-Talk: OT: Advice
I have an opportunity for a small project that
will handle dynamic news and what's new for a company's web site. They want to
create entries for each of these two areas, have them written to a database and
then have a section of their home page retrieve the headlines for the most
recent entries and display them as links to the detail news and or what's new.
Because of the size of both this portion of the site and the overall site, I
have some limitations. One of which is that it will not justify adding a
Witango Server. I could find a host for that portion of the site for them, but
that would make it difficult to imbed inside their existing pages. I could
handle it by dynamically creating the html pages and uploading them to their
existing server, but that is still messy from what I've experienced. I could
take a shot at doing it using PHP which leaves Witango out of the picture
completely which is something that I would prefer not to do.
Or I could take a look at using the new J2EE compiler in 5.5 and see if the
company's host will support a java servlet. My question is that would this be
the best route to take and if so, what is involved. I know that I need the
Witango Runtime Library, where do I get this and what is the cost involved with
it. Has anyone actually done this with a third party ISP. What do I need to ask
the company's ISP with regards to their ability to host a java servlet? From
their 'web hosting services page', they list ASP support, PHP, MySQL, etc. I am
looking to use MySQL with this regardless of the route I take.
The reason why I'm not just taking a pass on a small opportunity like this is
because I am dealing with the company's advertising agency, and therefore want
to establish a relationship with them, preferably one that involves Witango in
some way. I also see potential for other Witango based applications with this
company, so I'm looking for any assistance in getting Witango in the door here
(and Oakbridge in the door as well).
Thanks in advance,
Steve Smith
