Hello Rod, Some background information. We migrated from WebSphere 9.5 traditional to TomEE+ 8.
Below is our experience with the migration and the improvements we have mentioned: - Easy configuration and massively reduced complexity, no more dealing with Nodes, Cells, NodeManagers, Clusters and Servers etc. - Smooth migration, high code compatibility even for exotic things like JCA adapters - TomEE supports MicroProfile and we are ready for the future of microservice architecture, e.g. we used already MicroProfile Config for environment configuration - TomEE suppors Java EE8, WebSphere traditional stops at Java EE7 - TomEE with Arquillian works without any problems. With WebSphere we never got this to work and we had to implement a workaround with Glassfish - To date, we have noted only minor issues with TomEE - Developer experience end efficiency (startup times, faster debugging, stability, hode code replacement which actually works) - Application performance identical, much faster deployment times - TomEE with Docker and Kubernetes actually works, with WebSphere our project on Docker was not compatible - Zero licence costs and licence limitations (e.g. virtualized operation) BR, Manuel -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Jenkins, Rodney J (Rod) <[email protected]> Gesendet: Freitag, 17.

We are already looking forward to the final release. BTW: TomEE rocks!! We recently migrated from WebSphere to TomEE 8, what an improvement!!

We are basically more or less equivalent to TomEE 8.x for Jakarta EE 8. We decided to release all SNAPSHOT components to create a new milestone (Apache BVal, BatchEE, Mail, Activation, OpenWebBeans, Transaction Manager, etc) Aside from BatchEE, I think we are looking good, so I'm expecting a milestone to be released at the end of the month. Then we'll continue towards solving the remaining build issues. We might want to address the remaining TCK issues which may take some time. It really depends how many people we can get to help. With the current situation, I think a new milestone is feasible before the end of the month. Then in July I'd like to get the remaining build issues solved and finally address TCK issues in August. Of course it's summer holidays, so we might not get enough manpower. We'll see. If everything goes well, we could get something final and compliant early in Septembre. If the small TCK issues or compliancy is not much of a question, then from the next milestone on, we'll be stable and in a good shape.
