I am into J2EE stream for the past 5 years. Now i need to get transfer to another city due to personal reasons. I got a project from Apple relating with their technolgies like Web Objects, etc. Till this time, i was working on open source j2ee stuff. Is it a wise decision to change my career to Apple technologies? Most of the outside IT world dont use Apple specific app servers or tools. Will my experience be considered up to the market when i released from this apple project later? Let me know ASAP as i have to accept this offer in 1 or 2 days.

We can't possibly tell if it's a wise decision - way too many things regarding your situation factor into that, none of which we know about.

But WebObjects is written in Java, so you'd still be doing Java development. So this is like using a different API (WebObject instead of Struts/Hibernate/...). Any developer should be able to pick up (and switch between) APIs, so I don't see this as a big deal.
