WebObjects (http://www.apple.com/WebObjects) is:
An application server:
WebObjects handles all your application server
requirements—including load balancing, performance profiling, state
management and failover, HTML generation and Java client
interoperability.
With cross- platform compatibility:
WebObjects 4.5 runs on Mac OS X Server and Windows NT (as well as
Solaris, HP-UX and Windows 2000), and works across applications,
business systems and existing business logic.
It connects to business data:
WebObjects features an object-oriented adapter layer that lets you
leverage data stored in Oracle, Sybase, Informix, OpenBase and ODBC
databases — and now LDAP. If that's not enough, our developer
partners will help you access information stored on mainframes, R/3,
PeopleSoft and SAP databases.
Uses Object Frameworks:
Prebuilt objects provide the elements you need to create and extend
network applications that serve millions of users.
And comes with robust development tools:
Apple offers a fully integrated set of tools, covering project
management, data modeling, and constructing HTML and Java interfaces.
WebObjects 4.5 features a completely redesigned WebObjects Builder,
giving you even easier control over your HTML layout using an
intuitive drag- and- drop interface, making it even easier to
get the look you want.
The best part about WebObjects is that all WebObjects development
follows Model-View-Controller (MVC) the design pattern commonly known
as "Model 2". And at $699 for development & unlimited deployment,
the price is very hard to beat!
