Pieter, I use Xdoclet and OSUser (www.opensymphony.com/osuser) and can get 'relatively' close to application server portability ;)
There's still: - a lot of coding conventions you need to be aware of with the different CMP engines (ie JBoss apparently can only persist primary keys, whereas Weblogic and Orion CMP engines are smart enough to pull primary keys out of EJB references for persistence) - you almost always need to use EJB 1.1 (most servers support this, 2.0 support is still very patchy I've found). - I'm not sure Xdoclet generates 'perfect' deployment descriptors for all aspects of all servers yet. This will happen in time. - OSUser doesn't have adapters and providers for all servers yet (at the moment just Orion, JBoss and Resin - but again this will happen in time!) <non-gratuitous-plug> Anyone that uses Weblogic, Websphere or JRun and knows the security API well - PLEASE contact me about writing a provider, it's very simple and might enable you to get off those servers one day ;) </plug> Hope this helps - the problem we've found is that server vendors are very careful about migration documentation as they don't 'really' want people to write apps that they can pickup and deploy elsewhere ;) This is a useful discussion though - I'd love to see other people's thoughts and experiences on it. -mike On 18/1/02 11:44 AM, "Konstantin Priblouda" ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) penned the words: > >> I looked at the samples that come with xDoclet and >> was rather disappointed as they are written >> specifically for JBoss.
