The main point to keep in mind is that Tomcat only implements the Servlet and JSP specifications from JEE, and thus is a Servlet container and is not an EE container. Very important part of the puzzle to keep in mind, so moving from TC to one of the others should be very easy unless of course you are using anything Tomcat specific. In that case you won't be able to just move it without some rewrite.
As far as others "stole" Tomcat, I think we need to make sure we always know the entire story and know whose original investments went into works, though it has come a long long long way since the donation, if we are going to bring it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Tomcat#History Wade ----- Original Message ---- From: Johnny Kewl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2007 7:26:41 AM Subject: Re: Tomcat vs (other container) compatibility ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jacob Rhoden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <users@tomcat.apache.org> Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2007 1:40 PM Subject: Tomcat vs (other container) compatibility > Hi, > > Just wondering if there is anyone who has been or is involved in cross JEE > container work, how compatible are tomcat apps with other commercial apps > such as OC4J, Websphere, BEA and so on?

Heres an article from IBM site http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0511_li1/0511_li1.html I have put quite a few TC servlets onto Glassfish... no problem. I think in general you will find very little problems moving Tomcat (A Servlet Container) to one of the above (EJB containers). Both J2EE but they "different" animals. Tomcat webapps generally migrate easily to most servers because they all "stole" tomcat to begin with ;) .... inside most of this EJB containers you will find something that looks very much like Tomcat. So in general no problem... But amongst EJB servers this is not true... ie if you want to move from say WebSphere to Jboss, or Spring or Glassfish... then suicide is a very real possibility ;) Tomcat is actually one of the few common denominators between these servers.... once you have applied EJB tools, then portability is an issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
