Guidelines for Choosing the HTML-Based Approach
The WebObjects HTML approach has the following advantages:
■
Portability.
Any user with a Web browser can access a WebObjects HTML
application.
■
Flexibility.
You can create intricate HTML-based applications with relative
ease.
■
Reduced system administration.
With the HTML-based application approach,
you can publish data such as breaking news and stock prices without having to
rewrite the HTML code each time, reducing the number of people necessary to
keep the website up-to-date.
In some cases, you can use the Direct to Web rapid development system to create an
HTML-based application. Direct to Web works particularly well for data-driven
applications, prototypes, and internal applications. See
