We are trying to migrate JBOSS apps to WAS V6.1,so plz can someone guide me what all do i need to do in order to start migration,any particular tool i can use for complete migration of JBOSS apps to WAS, and how do i create .WAR file for deployment on WAS since JBOSS apps just have a .war folder instead of .WAR file..help will be highly appreciated thanks in advance..
JBoss has war directories instead of files, yes. But it would also work with a war file. JBoss can also deploy jar and ear directories. Other application servers do not work that way. The SJSAS, for instance, must deploy war, jar and ear compressed files. And it is only after deployment that you can overwrite the files contained in the exploded directories that correspond to your war (or jar or ear) files.
You should try to import your project into the WebSphere IDE and then export a war file from it. I make emphasis on using the WS IDE because of the deployment descriptors you could need for deployment. Each application server needs a certain kind of deployment descriptor that is typically only CORRECTLY generated by a corresponding IDE (Use Eclipse for WebLogic, Sun ONE Studio for the SJSAS, and so on )
The topic on the Deployment Descriptors for each app server is still somewhat obscure to me and I cannot tell you any more about it.
You probably should try to post this question on a WebSphere specialized forum or an IBM one. I was surprised to find this here.
Regards and the best of lucks to you.
