Anyone know about 4D Web applications?

Howdy All,

I've used a number of Web frameworks besides WebObjects but never a  
4th Dimension application that a client currently uses (4D database  
with desktop client) and wants to develop (4D database with Web client).

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with 4D in the Web space and  
knows how appropriate it's architecture is for a small to medium  
sized Web application (i.e. not complex) with anticipated medium- 
level use.

I would assume they would generally have only (low) tens of users  
concurrently accessing the system, so scaling very large is not a  
concern.  My feeling is it will be something like the Web side of  
FileMaker?

If 4D Web applications are a nightmare solution (i.e. they shouldn't  
go there) for this type of problem then I may recommend something  
else (although they have a long history and large investment in 4D).

Sorry this is off-topic somewhat.

Cheers,
Ashley.
