Re: WebObjects 5.3 on Solaris

To check the version of WebObjects installed, look in /System/Library/ 
Frameworks/JavaWebObjects.framework/Resources/version.plist

As for installing WebObjects on Linux or anywhere else, a Mac OS X  
package is nothing more than a pax file (man pax). Look at your  
compiled WebObjects 5 application. It contains a shell script which  
configures the launch environment and Contents/UNIX contains a  
classpath file with entries like

WOROOT/Library/Frameworks/JavaEOAccess.framework/Resources/Java/ 
javaeoaccess.jar

As long as WOROOT is set correctly and the framework exists there,  
your app should run. It's all about the application finding jar files  
and resources and it will as long as the launch environment is setup  
correctly.
