Migrating from Tomcat to WebSphere

I have a JSF application which works correctly under tomcat web-server. But when I tried to migrate this application to IBM WebSphere I was suprised to dicover that it didn't work at all. I found a lot of differences between how WS and Tomcat interprete faces-config. Moreover WS parser doesn't understand tags like "<tagname \>".
Maybe somebody has already faced with such a problem and can tell me something how to solve it.

WebSphere version is 6.

How to migrate application server from Tomcat to WebSphere?

Hi,
I installed BO XI 3.1 32 bit in environment:
- AIX 5.3 64 bit
- Deployed Tomcat 5.5 from installing BO
- Oracle client 10G
I need to migrate application server from Tomcat to WebSphere 6.1 and WebSphere 6.1 Server 32 bit in Windows platform.
Could you someone give detail steps
Many thanks in advance and best regards,

I tried manually to deploy web applications, but not successful. This is my deployment step following:
AIX 5.3: BOE XI 3.1 :
Copy all <INSTALLDIR>/bobje/enterprise120/java/applications/ to Windows Websphere D:\BO_WAS
WebSphere 6.1 location & IP (windows) :
C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer1\
IP: 192.168.69.10
Log in to WebSphere Applicaton Server Administrative http://192.168.69.10:9060/admin
1. Under the Applications heading of the console navigation menu, click
Enterprise Applications on the left navigational pane.
2. Click the Install button and navigate to the location of the WAR file to
deploy. If deploying from a remote file system, select the Remote File
System option.
3. Enter a context root for the WAR file (e.g. /CmcApp for CmcApp.war)
(this format (/CmcApp) for Unix OS, have different in Windows ? Could you give me fully path?)
and
press the Next button, followed by Continue.
4. In "Step 1", give a unique name for your web application and proceed to
"Step 2".
5. Highlight the server you created (or highlight server1 if you didn't create
your own) from the Clusters and Servers and enable the Select
checkbox. Proceed to "Step 3".
6. Select the virtual host you created (or default_host if you didn't create
your own) from the Virtual Host drop-down list. Proceed to "Step 4".
7. Review the summary page, and press Finish when done.
8. Click Save to Master Configuration.
9. Click the Save link, then the Save button.
Finally the output is not available.
Many thanks in advance and best regards

How to Migrate Crystal Report Server XIR2 from Tomcat to Websphere.

How to Migrate Crystal Report Server 2008 from Tomcat to Websphere.

Hi Experts,
Is there any documents or notes describ how to migrate CRS2008 from Tomcat to Webshere.
Thanks.

Hi,
Have a look at the Web Application Deployment guides which comes in two versions, one for Windows and one for Unix.
You can find them at help.sap.com and they are named xi31_sp3_webappd_win_en.pdf and xi31_sp3_webappd_unix_en.pdf respectively.
But to summarise it a bit, you will use wdeploy to manually deploy the WAR files to your existing web application server. It is not too complex, but if you are not familiar with running commands in prompt and with your web application server then I suggest that you get someone to assist you.
Cheers,
Josh

JSPX Migration from Tomcat to OC4J

We are migrating the web tier of our application from Tomcat 5 to OC4J 10.1.3.0.0. We are having a problem in our jspx files. The code below works in Tomcat but not in oc4j.
<gc3:viewFieldText name="invoice/invoice_xid" valueIndicator="invoice/indicator">
<jsp:attribute name="label">
<x:when select="$mainNode/invoice_type = 'B'">field.invoice/bill_xid</x:when>
<x:otherwise>field.invoice/invoice_xid</x:otherwise>
</x:choose>
</jsp:attribute>
</gc3:viewFieldText>
We are trying to dynamically set the label attribute of one of our custom tags using <jsp:attribute> and the jstl xtags. mainNode is a variable bound in the request and based on the result of the XPath expression, we want to dynamically set the label attribute. The XPath expression is correctly evaluated, however instead of passing the text within the x:when or x:otherwise to our custom tag, it just writes it out to the screen.
If I remove the xtags from the code and hard code the label it works as shown below.
<gc3:viewFieldText name="invoice/invoice_xid" valueIndicator="invoice/indicator">
<jsp:attribute name="label">
field.invoice/bill_xid
</jsp:attribute>
</gc3:viewFieldText>
Let me know if you need any further information.

Chad,
10.1.3.0.0 was buggy.
Try 10.1.3.1.0 or the latest: 10.1.3.2.0
(Just a suggestion.)
Good Luck,
Avi.

Migration from tomcat to weblogic 10.3.2

Hi,
I am developing a web application, its a servlet which basically acts as a front end for a web service,
and I use CXF for the web service client, tested under a development tomcat instance and worked fine.
I have the spring framework and the rest jars in the lib:
wsdl4j-1.6.1.jar
wss4j-1.5.8.jar
jaxb-api-2.0.jar
cxf-2.2.3.jar
while I try to migrate to weblogic 10.3.2 follow the change as in
http://cxf.apache.org/docs/application-server-specific-configuration-guide.html#ApplicationServerSpecificConfigurationGuide-WebLogic
Then I got the exception:
java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Class com.ibm.wsdl.DefinitionImpl does not implement the requested interface javax.wsdl.extensions.AttributeExtensible
at org.apache.cxf.wsdl11.WSDLServiceBuilder.copyExtensionAttributes(WSDLServiceBuilder.java:137)
at org.apache.cxf.wsdl11.WSDLServiceBuilder.buildServices(WSDLServiceBuilder.java:277)
I have been research on this problem for a while, found some posts from experts like Dan on Nable...
but I still didn't get it, could anyone help on this.

can u let us know how did you resolve this?

Migrating from OIM on WebSphere to WebLogic

Can anyone provide any insight on the possibility of migrating OIM from WebSphere to WebLogic. Are there differences in the database that would make this a difficult task?
The "Upgrading to 11gR1" does not list this as a possible path.

In this section of the documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/upgrade.1111/e10129/upgrade_oim.htm#CACFJBJE it has listed WebSphere on the left for 9.x version, and WebLogic on the right for 11g. And since 9.x and 11g use different tables specific to the application server, the migration of data from 9.x should not matter for those. The 11g will use it's own tables specific to the app server and migrate just the required OIM data that isn't specific to the previous app server. That is why you must complete all tasks in the queues prior to migration.

JAX-RPC on OC4J (Migrating from TOMCAT to OC4J) Problems

I am attempting to compile and build a simple web service
to using wsdeploy from Sun's JWSDP1.2. It works fine on Tomcat but when I try to deploy it to OC4J. I get the following error:
7/23/03 11:58 AM Internal error in HttpServer

I've come to notice that Oracle's WebServicesAssembler doesn't use com.sun.xml.rpc.server.http.JAXRPCContextListener but instead uses something else. When the JAXRPCContextListener starts to initialize it trys to perform the following operation:
classLoader = (URLClassLoader)Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
Is there any way to remedy this?? Or is there anything I can do to get this to work??
Thanks
Mike

Have you deployed JAX-RPC onto OC4J? We currently do not have JAX-RPC available on OC4J.

Migrating from Tomcat to OC4J

We are currently just using Tomcat for both HTTP and Servlet engine duties on our web server. The HTTP side is quite slow so
we have just purchased the 9iAS with OC4J (v.1.0.2.2). The documentation say OC4J is "100%" Tomcat compatible. That's great but current setup uses HTML to build 3 frames then puts an HTML menu in one which has the javascript commands to run java classes via a servlet. We have our index.html in the top level folder, then the menu files in a sub-folder (menu), graphics in another (misc), javascript in another (lib), then the class files are below that in :
/Web-inf/classes/html...
/Web-inf/classes/database
/Web-inf/classes/objecttypes
/Web-inf/classes/Utils
Anyone set up this style of application? as the examples only show running servlets directly.

Sure. Are you having a specific problem, or just wondering if it will work? YOu class files are fine in those subdirectories so long as they correspond correctly with the package names. As far as referencing a servlet whose class is in a package, you do it in OC4J just like in Tomcat - by defining the servlet name and class and mappings in the web.xml file. If you can build a war using Ant and deploy that war to Tomcat, you will find that that war will deploy very nicely to Orion. The only additional work is to add any custom application setup to the Orion configuration files (server.xml, default-web-site.xml, etc) similar to what you would do in the Tomcat server.xml and worker.xml files.

Migrate from Tomcat to OC4J

Hi! Everyone,
I developed a Servlet/JSP application on tomcat, now I am going to deploy it to OC4J. In OC4J, directly under default-web-apps, I created a directory called misc, and put my servlets (in default-web-apps/misc/WEB-INF/classes), jsp (in default-web-apps/misc/jsp), beans (in default-web-apps/misc/WEB-INF/classes/beans) there (no EJB). The OC4J server can run jsp correctly, but it can not locate servlets. It can only locate servlets under default-web-apps/WEB-INF/classes directory.
It means it is not scalable if I put my servlets directly in default-web-apps/WEB-INF/classes, because if I deploy another project, which has a servlet, I also need to put it in the same directory.
All in all, OC4J can locate the servlet by "http://127.0.0.1:port/servlet/myservlet", but if I put the servlet in misc/WEB-INF/classes directory, it can not locate the servlet by "http://127.0.0.1:port/misc/servlet/myservlet".
In tomcat, it is good because every time I created a new project, I just create a new directory "misc" parallel to "examples", and I can access that project by "http://127.0.0.1:port/misc/servlet/myservlet". By doing this way, different projects are in different directory. But in OC4J, different projects' servlet has to be in the same directory (I know I can create a directory under WEB-INF/classes called misc, and then call my servlet by "http://127.0.0.1:port/servlet/misc.myservlet, but this is not what I want).
Is there a way to let OC4J to deploy projects like tomcat? The documentation said OC4J is 100% compatible with tomcat, but I think it is not.
Thanks a lot if you can provide help.

Migrating WebServices app from Tomcat to Glassfish...

Hello!
I've a WebService app. which now runs on Tomcat 5.5.23 and was written using JAX-WS. I've install Sun Java System App. Server 9.0 and I intend to migrate our app. here.
The application is delivered as a war file which I've already deployed in glassfish using admin GUI of asadmin. I can see our app. at WebApplications section but I can't see it under WebServices section, although it seems at a first view that the application works and respond to client's request.
I'd like to ask you if I need to use a special tool for migrating our aplication or what I did is enough and there is no need for other changes.
Thank you very much
With best regards,
Sorin

If I understand correctly, you are trying to load a few properties files on WLS that is specific to an application that you are migrating from tomcat to WLS. If that is the case, then as per my understanding we have the following options:
a. Add all the properties in a jar file and add the same to the classpath or place the same in the lib directory of the server which can be picked at the server start-up.
b. Place the properties file in the domain home which should help.
Refer: loading a new properties file without restarting the managed server
c. Else place the properties files in the web-inf of the application, that should help.

Migration from WebSphere - Weblogic: RAS logger

What would be easy way or strategy to handle ibm ras logger when we migrate to weblogic?

Guys:
The link provided caters to Websphere Studio to WebLogic 8.1. My requirement is migration from WebSphere 5.x to WebLogic. My current architecture is as follows:
1. Front End: JSP (Ver 1.2), XSL, XML
2. Middle Layer: EJB (EJB Ver 2.0) (Stateless Session Beans) (Deployed in IBM WebSphere 5.0)
3. RDBMS: Oracle 9i Enterprise Edition - Release 2.
4. Modal View Controller architecture (MVC)
5. Number of JAR files: 137
6. One WAR File
7. Appserver OS: W2K.
All the files needs to be migrated to WebLogic 8.1 including the deployment descriptor.
Is there any tool for this conversion? Any white paper, proof of concept, document on steps, approach, risks, mitigation,etc will be helpful.
Thanks in anticipation
Best Regards
