Hi Experts,
We have list of J2EE application (components
Servlets,JSP,Struts,EJB,Hibernate) currently running on Websphere
WAS4.0.5 with JDK1.3.
Our plan is to Migrate to Apache Geronimo application server with
latest JDK whatever it supports.
Currently few migrated to Apache Geronimo 1.1.1.
What are the future releases are going to be and time plan/special
features.
We are working on Geronimo 2.0 which is Java EE 5.0. The current
work on the J2EE 1.4 is Geronimo 1.2 which is currently in beta and
available from http://geronimo.apache.org/downloads.html
Want to know any tools available to automate the migration process
or can we customize.
From WebSphere not really. There are some limited conversion tools
available but w don't have a comprehensive conversion suite. Help
would be excellent.
What are the Best Practices and Approaches for migration
It depends on the nature of the application you are converting. For
the Application you described above it sounds like choosing Apache
Geronimo 1.2-beta would be a good choice. If you need CORBA you
will have to use the Sun JDK. If not, then I think just about any
1.4 JDK will work as should 1.5 JDKs. One thing to note is to choose
a JDK level and stick with it. If you are using WebServices you will
have some difficulty changing JDK versions back and forth.
Your thoughts are highly valuable.
