WebObjects is pure-java, so why would I need Wotonomy?
You don’t need Wotonomy: WO5 is what wotonomy wants to be, and $499 is an absolute steal. If your project needs this capabilities in a complete and mature product, you should run, not walk, to your nearest web-browser and buy a license. However, some people cannot or will not develop on Apple hardware or software, and some people prefer to use Free Software. Moreover, wotonomy integrates more tightly with java. For example, Foundation’s collections extend J2SE 1.3+ java.util collections, which makes coding much nicer. There’s also a lot of benefit in having source code to see what’s going on behind the scenes. The developers have learned a heck of a lot about WebObjects by trying to implement it. Perhaps if enough people adopt wotonomy for their Java projects, they’ll see the advantage of investing in Apple technology. Additionally, applications using wotonomy will be extremely portable to Apple platforms.
