9 9  WebObjects was initially created at NeXT. There was a framework called DBKit, which provided a way to abstract legacy databases to an object-relational graph. This framework later became the Enterprise Objects Framework (EOF). EOF was used to build nibware, runnable applications for NeXTStep/OpenStep that were built with Project Builder and which used interfaces that were designed in Interface Builder. If this sounds familiar, it is because the ideas from that time have only been refined, and not fundamentally changed, to become the Cocoa frameworks for applications running on Mac OS X and iOS today.

11 11  WebObjects was built on top of DBKit/EOF to provide a way to create dynamic applications for the web. The first versions of WebObjects were created at NeXT around the latter half of 1992.

17 17  Project Wonder started its life as a collection of open source frameworks build on top of Apple's WebObjects. Over time, Wonder became as large as WebObjects and not only provided complimentary frameworks but also provided fixes for WebObjects bugs, and development and deployment tools. Starting with Snow Leopard, Apple stopped providing releases of WebObjects outside Apple, but the community love WebObjects so much that we decided to continue development with Project Wonder.

19 19  It provides a powerful and mature set of Object-Oriented frameworks for managing Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) to any JDBC-compliant database, Session Management, Undo/Redo/Revert, Ajax, Web Services, full Java Client applications, Rapid Application Development, file upload/download and many other popular internet and enterprise application technologies.

25 25  Enjoy working in a clean and elegantly designed set of coherent, consistent frameworks. Delight in spending your time implementing features instead of fussing with infrastructure. You don't have to deal with EJB, J2EE containers, Struts and the like. There is no need to hand edit XML and use dependancy injection to get the pieces to co-operate. Of course, WebObjects has full access to the universe of Java libraries (JavaMail, Apache projects, etc.) and the cross platform portability that Java developers depend on.
26 26  
27 27  You can develop and deploy on any OS that can run Java (the WebObjects license does says that you have to develop on Apple hardware, so developing in Windows or Linux on a Mac is ok). This allow you to use other Java libraries with Project Wonder, many in the community use libraries and tools like Apache Commons inside their WebObjects apps.

47 -WebObjects is not a web page design tool. In fact, WebObjects does not have a WYSIWYG HTML editor (but the component editor is quite powerful). WebObjects uses your web pages (called templates) and adds dynamic content on the fly to make your application run. Also, WebObjects is not a framework for writing client side code. The objects you work with in WebObjects exist on the server only. If you are writing a complex client side JavaScript based application you can serialize your server objects via XML, JSON (by using [[ERRest>>ERRest Framework]]) or SOAP and send them to a browser.
