Choosing Your Approach

Before you get started using WebObjects, you need to decide which development approach to use. There are many choices available but it's not difficult to choose given your requirements. It's not difficult to change your approach either because your enterprise objects are the same. You should consider the following issues when making a decision:

• Are you planning to deploy over the Internet or an intranet?

• What are your user interface requirements?

• How quickly do you need to develop the application?

This section briefly describes the different approaches—the advantages, disadvantages, and typical use of each approach—including a discussion of rapid prototyping and combining approaches.
