XML-RPC for WebObjects update

Last night I started porting the latest Helma XML-RPC for Java to WO4.5. I hope to have it online tonight. The current WO version is based on Helma XML-RPC for Java 1.0b4.

As soon as I have a copy of WO5 I'll port my port to it too. (say that 10 times fast )

Cocoa rocks, Carbon… doesn’t

The Register: Jobs and Tevanian vow to fight OS X speed drain

It's awesome to see Mac users and even the media drinking the Cocoa kool-aid. Now that a LOT of people have really had a chance to see the difference between Cocoa apps and Carbon apps, it's not surprising to see that people prefer the former. Replace the Carbon Finder with a Cocoa Finder, as suggested by Andrew Orlowski's Reg article above? Oh yeahhhh...

IMHO, only one reason: Apple didn't have enough Cocoa developers to go around, apparently. The official reason was "to show that people could transition real Classic apps to Carbon". But wait, this article says that Finder.app is a PowerPlant application. I don't think OS9's Finder was a PowerPlant app, so it sounds like it was a rewrite anyway. Nice transition...

Hehe, even the owner of carbonbasedlife.com is doing Cocoa apps in Objective-C.
