Migrating WebLogic Applications to WebSphere Advanced Edition V4

This IBM Redbooks publication will help you plan and execute the migration of Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications developed for BEA WebLogic Server, so that they will run on WebSphere Application Server, Advanced Edition V4. This book is an update of the book Migrating WebLogic Applications to WebSphere Advanced Edition, SG24-5956 .

Since the previous book was published, new versions of both WebLogic and WebSphere have been released and both products have been certified as complying with the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition specification. We discuss the major differences between these new implementations of WebLogic and WebSphere, provide guidance to developers on how to deploy existing WebLogic applications on WebSphere, and discuss how to design new J2EE applications that will be portable for deployment on WebSphere or WebLogic.
