Interesting.  You have successfuly converted your WO 3.5 java apps to WO 4?
Apple has changed the Java API so that it now matches the ObjectiveC API.

Even though there are some bourne shell scripts that try to help you
converting your files, it is generally not possible to convert old
java apps automatically.  I tried to convert a simple demonstration
program I've written and gave up after 6 hours.  For example you can't
use `new CO' to create a new custom object anymore.  See postings
"How to create new custom objects in WO4" in this group.


> the java jit compiler is still disabled.

Is it?  Why don't you just use a jit compiler for java. Microsofts IE
for example uses a jit compiler. (Microsofts jit has some bugs btw. 5 * 5
is 10 for example, see -> www.heise.de/news)

If you want a java compiler, you can use IBM jikes. I've written a
simple java client and was able to compile the code without problems.
(I am using IBM jikes on Linux btw.)

If you want to program your server side control logic in java, don't
do that.  WO4 still uses the java bridge which translates your Java
API calls into ObjectiveC API calls (the yellow box classes are
written in ObjectiveC).
