Existing ND apps will need to be converted or rewritten to J2EE components that can be run on iP6 (or later) or a competitive platform some time before Sun drops support for ND5 in 2002. There has not been an official announcement AFAIK as to what specific conversion programs or consulting services might be provided by Sun. If you are careful about portabiity, you should be able to build or convert to J2EE components in the ND5 environment that could be deployed in the iP or competitive J2EE environment, including EJB, servlets, and JSP.

I read the announcement for the new iPlanet 6.0 Application Server on the Sun-Netscape Alliance site. Below is a link for anyone interested.

I am mainly interested in and I quote: 'Anticipating J2EE certification later this month, the iPlanet Application Server 6.0 software offers all the benefits of the open Java technology standard combined with a heritage of market-leading deployment capabilities and backwards compatibility for Sun NetDynamics� and Netscape Application Server applications.' What does the backward compatibility mean?? Does it indicate a migration path or a set of migration tools?
