  1. Thank you for this content. I am writing my diploma thesis about migrating enterprise applications in the Java EE area and I also want to show the differences of the major server providers. In addition to that, I will also try to actually migrate a real enterprise application from WebSphere AS to JBoss EAP(I already consider it the winner in my comparison).

    Do you think you can provide me with more resources that I use for that paper?

  2. Beikov,

    You can also look at http://wildfly.org/news/2014/02/06/GlassFish-to-WildFly-migration/ that shows how to migrate applications from GlassFish to WildFly.

    Also look at WindRide that assists in migrating JBoss EAP 5, AS 5, or AS 6 server configuration to JBoss EAP 6, AS7, or WildFly 8. The tool analyzes the server configuration files, produces a Windup style HTML report highlighting areas that require changes, and performs the migration.

    Windup is a tool to simplify Java ® application migrations

  3. Thank you, I already knew about Windup and I will definitely include that in my thesis. Unfortunately the hard part of my actual application migration won’t be related to configuration but with the migration of EJB 1.x parts :(
    I guess there is no tool you know about that helps me with that? I am already considering writing such a tool myself because I couldn’t find something satisfying yet.

  4. EJB 1.x is QUITE old :-) I doubt you’ll find any tools to help you migrate from that version so writing one would be useful. Think about how many people would need such a tool though.

  5. Free J2EE/JEE migration plugin for Eclipse and migration methodology are described in this blog post: http://whywebsphere.com/2012/02/22/websphere-migration-workshop/

  6. Where does it mention that plugin? This is only about migrating from WLS to WAS…

  7. Christian, the migration plugin download and instructions are posted here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/downloads/migtoolkit/compmig.html
