Migration FAQ
GeneralQ: How much effort is it to migrate from other competitive application servers to the Sun Java System Application Server 8.2/9?
A:
Effort estimates are difficult to predict without understanding application details and existing and proposed infrastructure. We recommend that users first use the freely available Java EE Application Verification Kit (AVK), which will help in determining portability of your application. AVK helps identify proprietary code you may be using specific to your existing application server. The AVK output gives a fairly good idea of how much effort is required from a code perspective to migrate the proprietary APIs/components.
Download AVK. Q: What does the migration tool do?
A:
This Migration Tool aids migrations/upgrades from other competitive application servers as well as previous versions of Sun Microsystems application servers to all editions of the Java System Application Server 9 or 8.2. The tool automates the migration process and reduces development and porting time by as much as 95%, depending on the complexity of the application.
