Abstract
This redbook describes experiences in moving a Java application from a Windows or UNIX system to OS/390. Although Java provides a platform for running applications unchanged on almost any computing architecture, some programming techniques can cause Java applications to run incorrectly on some computers.
The book describes how a particular product was moved to OS/390, and the problems that were discovered during the porting project. Many of the problems discovered will be common to other Java applications. Therefore, readers of this book will learn how to avoid writing programs that are not movable. In addition, readers are provided with a process that can be used to port existing Java applications to OS/390 (or other computing platforms).
