Dear Sir/Madam: the company i will work for later on has the software product based on the .net framework with the IIS middle ware. because of the requirement of the current market, the company needs to migrate the whole architecture to J2ee based one.
because the company only has .net resources without any j2ee experty. my background is with a lot of java/j2ee and without any .net. at the moment i work with the chief architecture of this company and try to figure out how to migrate .net architecture to j2ee based. if i can help them to map out the .net architecture to j2ee based one, then i will have the chance to work on the java/j2ee and probably oracle migration development work. hopefully i can win this contract. however, i really need some help/input from some free resources, like the Forum Groups, to point me to the right direction. they plan to start with changing the presentation layer IIS to j2ee based one. the following are the list of questions I need to figure out urgently. it will be very appreciated if you can help on these. 1. do you think the tomcat web server a good option for them or the other ones? 2. what should be the approach they should apply to replace the IIS only at this stage? 3. how can they replace IIS with tomcat on windows and keep all the existing binaries? 4. if the tomcat is a good option, then after installing the tomcat, does the apache need to be installed as well? if it is, why? 5. what is the next step for them to migrate the architecture to j2ee based one after replace IIS with tomcat? 6. do you recommend weblogic or websphere for them at this stage? why? 7. they have the chief architecture knows only the .net architecture and don't know j2ee one, i know only the j2ee architecture and don't know .net one. both of us need to work together to figure out a way to migrate from .net to j2ee in a very tight time frame. what can you suggest us to achieve this? what documentation or books we need for this without recruiting additional resource? 8. if they change the whole .net to j2ee based, what else they need to install, except of the tomcat? for the whole migration, how can they map the applications/components from .net to j2ee for this migration, like, asp.net(.net) to jsp(j2ee), iis(.net) to tomcat(j2ee), (sql server(.net) to oracle(j2ee) etc.. it will be very appreciated if you can help on the above as soon as you can. or point me to someone who can help with this.
