To help customers and the marketplace better appreciate the power of WebObjects, and to
make it more affordable to smaller organizations, Apple has set the price of WebObjects 5 at
$699 (only $99 for educational institutions). A single package contains both the developer tools
and a full deployment license. The license has no transaction limits, and allows you to install
the runtime on a separate machine—even a high-end server with multiple CPUs—at no
additional charge.
Now that WebObjects 5 is available in Java and runs on Apple’s new UNIX-based Mac OS X
operating system, we will be working hard to make the Java developer community aware of
the incredible power of WebObjects. WebObjects had a dedicated track at Apple’s WorldWide
Developers Conference in May 2001 that included 17 separate sessions, and it was a prominent
part of Apple’s booth at JavaONE. Time-limited WebObjects evaluation CDs and downloads are
being distributed by the Apple Developer Connection, even to free online members. The new
Mac OS X Server (v10.0) includes a full deployment license for WebObjects, making it the first
server software platform to include an enterprise-scale web application server.
WebObjects is available for sale via the Apple Store worldwide, as well as from various catalogs
and selected retailers. Up-and-running support is provide by our award-winning AppleCare
organization (www.info.apple.com/webobjects). API-based developer technical support is
available through the Apple Developer Connection (connect.apple.com). For more in-depth
assistance, our Apple iServices professional services organization (www.apple.com/iservices)
provides a wide range of WebObjects solutions, including consulting, training, and personalized
technical support.
