10 +**WebObjects** is a an integrated suite of Java frameworks for rapidly developing scalable, sophisticated Internet and Enterprise applications. It is the most mature platform available for enterprise-level web, web service and java client (three-tier client-server) application development.
11 +
12 +It provides a powerful and mature set of Object-Oriented frameworks for managing Object-Relational Mapping ([[ORM>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-relational_mapping]]) to any JDBC-compliant database, Session Management, Undo/Redo/Revert, Ajax, Web Services, full Java Client applications, Rapid Application Development, Streaming Media, file upload/download and many other popular internet and enterprise application technologies.
13 +
14 +Originally developed by NeXT Computer Inc., in the mid 1990s, it was ported by Apple to Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server in Objective-C and then completely translated to Java for version 5.0.
15 +
16 +It is an incredibly flexible set of frameworks exemplified by Apple's own use of it for such varied applications as the [[iTunes Music Store>>http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/storeFront]], the on-line [[Apple Store>>http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore/]], the [[.Mac>>http://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Welcome]] group of services including Web-Mail and Calendaring and their [[website>>http://www.apple.com]]. as well as many applications developed and deployed by [[others>>http://www.dyned.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/WOShowcase]].
17 +
18 +It has a very active [[developer community>>http://www.wocommunity.org/]] and offers excellent support through the very popular [[WebObjects Development>>http://lists.apple.com/archives/webobjects-dev]] and [[WO Deployment>>http://lists.apple.com/archives/webobjects-deploy]] email lists.
19 +
20 +In addition Apple, Inc. also provides [[free>>http://www.apple.com/support/webobjects/]] and [[paid-for>>http://www.apple.com/services/technicalsupport/]] support options.
