Hi Eric..Technical Question

>> > By incorporating Java, NW will be a very good application server

NetWare is already a good app server (ask Notes, ask Oracle, ask Cheyenne, etc.). The problem is not the platform, but is instead the perceived difficulty of developing applications for it.

JAVA will not change this. JAVA will make it easy for clients (not servers) to run network-based applications that are platform independent, etc. JAVA does nothing to make NetWare a better app server.<<

The first statement was mine. I misunderstood what Jeff said. Thanks for your clarification, and I apologize for my ignorance. But, the main problem remains which we read about in almost every article "it is difficult to develop applications for Netware". If Java does not make NW a better application server, then what does?. My understanding is Net2000 API's make NW a better app. server. But I don't know if they were released (and if not, When?). If this going to solve this sticky problem, then I would like to know your opinion which I regard highly about the following:

1. How much better NW becomes as an app. server?

2. How does it compare to NT as far as app. development?

3. Would this change the perception that "it is difficult to develop applications for NW"?

Regards

Salah
