Agenda:

• Introductions & Announcements

• Chris Hanson of bDistributed.com on his XML-RPC framework for WebObjects.
The BDXmlRpcForWO framework provides an XML-RPC request handler for WebObjects 5.1 and 5.2. This allows any WebObjects application to provide web services using the XML-RPC protocol. XML-RPC processing is handled by the Apache XML-RPC library, freely available from the Apache Software Foundation. The BDXmlRpcForWO framework is released as Open Source under a BSD license by bDistributed.com, Inc.

• Bob Frank on Log4Cocoa, an Objective-C port of the popular Log4J logging package.
Bob will discuss the following topics: (1) Log4J what is it and why is it cool enough to port; (2) My experience porting from Java to Objective-C; (3) Log4Cocoa, its current state (almost @ beta), how to use it and a development roadmap.

• WWDC -- expected interesting sessions this year.

We will, as usual, also have Q & A and pizza, a discussion of future meeting topics and dates. We are very thankful to Kiwi Internet Group for the pizza, the list-serve, and other resources they have provided to support this group.
