I actually have lots and lots of experience in this area, producing  
several large web sites with 4D and writing dozens of 4D applications  
over the last 15 years. I'd be happy to chat to you about some  
approaches I'd suggest.

These are hybrid 4D/WebObjects projects: http://www.ish.com.au/

Feel free to give me a call...
