Hi there,

Is it possible to run Servoy developer, Servoy Server, Servoy Client in all the Mac OSs? especially Mac OS9 & Mac OSX.

Thanks,

Hameed

If you or your customers use older or Old-World-Mac's you might concidder installing Linux for PPC's on them like Mandrake, SUsu, RedHat, Debian etc.
IBM's JVM 1.4.1 does support Linux for the PPC.
This way you can use your older and/or Old-World-Mac's (again) deploying Servoy developer, Servoy Server or Servoy Client.

Hope this helps...

BTW the Internet is loaded with information about deploying Linux for PPC's on a (Old-World-)Mac.

Servoy supports Linux...doesn't it?
Then again you have to get the processor upgraded to at least 500 Mhz (G4) wich should cost you about $180.

Interesting idea. I have about 30 G3 iMacs that I wouldn't mind turning into Servoy heads at some point. I'll see if my Linux guy can get Servoy working on a PPC Linux install and post the results.

Still, I wish that Apple would update 9.x to Java 1.4.1. Or somebody.

There are a lot of 9.x machines scattered across our network.

Apple has stated publicly that it will not be updating Java to to 1.4 on Mac OS 9.

One option you might consider is setting up a Citrix server running Servoy and having the Macs access that, you can actually set it up so they would not see most of the Windows interface as it would just load right into Servoy.

What is MRJ 2.2.6 (Mac OS Runtime for Java)? Can this do anything to run Servoy in Mac OS 9

Thanks

MRJ 2.x for OS 9 only implements Java 1.1.x for OS 9, Servoy I believe requires Java 1.3+
