The hardest part is doing your first compile (and getting classpaths, etc, all correct, getting your JDBC drivers installed, JDBC.ini correctly configured).
The second hardest part is correcting all your old (in my case, sloppy) coding that the older versions of the Witango server let you get away with. Version 5+ of the Witango server is stricter, and that helps, but you'll still find things that it lets you get away with, that Java cannot tolerate.
Note that if you have problems, don't be in too big a hurry to blame Witango - most of your constraints will be on the Java side.
That said, I have to admit I have been stunned at how easy this has been to do - I was going to hire a Java expert to help me out, but now I have rolled back to someone with scripting experience and some Java instead (just in case...)
And by the way, my application is VERY complex and byzantine, not something simple - custom tags, etc, all moved over smooth as silk.
