Migrating WebServices app from Tomcat to Glassfish...

Question

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.
