Hi all

We just had our first test of running a Webfaced application served from 
our 730 rather than on the developer's PC. Having got the latest 5722DG1 
PTFs in place to get Tomcat (we're on V5R1) and configured the in-process 
server I was looking forward to seeing the test app run. Unfortunately I 
just got a page telling me I had to be running IE for WebFacing - not an 
option on my Linux box. I had mistakenly assumed that browser based would 
mean works in a browser, rather than works in IE :( 

Is this still a requirement in 5.0 (We're using WDSC 4.0 at the moment, 
though I plan on getting 5.0 in the near future) and is it likely to 
remain a requirement in future versions? I know the client software will 
only run on Windows, but I had hoped the finished application would be 
less choosy. On that note, are there any plans on making WDSC cross 
platform at some point in the future?

Regards, Martin
