Indeed.  WebObjects is just some sort of jar, as far as customers  
need to know.  We have been using that approach for about 5-6 years  
now, and it beats having to sell Apple technologies to luddites by a  
long way.  Apple still is a fantastic turn off for all kinds of large  
business in the UK (not in Europe, I know :-), but a professional  
approach and decent delivery can always get them excited.
