WebObjects 5.3
Apple has released , a free update to the tool for developing and deploying enterprise-level Web services and Java server applications. Version 5.3 integrated with Xcode, allows users to create web services or three-tier Java server apps, and generates code-free prototypes in minutes. WebObjects gives users the ability to build or use standards-based Web services without writing low-level SOAP, XML or WSDL. Tools enable code-free generation, configuration and testing of web services from existing data assets. These standards-based Web services can interoperate with clients written in many languages, including Java, AppleScript, Perl and .Net — opening up enterprise development to a new class of programmers.
