We have started a new project Migrate To GlassFish . While J2EE/Java EE specifications cover broadly requirements for developing portable applications, other aspects (e.g. vendor-specific deployment) are application server dependent. The goal of this project is to provide help (tools, documentation, and tech tips) in the migration of J2EE/Java EE applications to the GlassFish application server.

The Migration Tool for GlassFish is a GUI based tool that helps with the migration of application server specific aspects (e.g. config files) to GlassFish application server. See the Overview of Migration Tool for GlassFish for details. To use the Migration Tool

• Download and install the tool.
• Prepare the application.
• Invoke the tool using either GUI or command line.
• Perform the post migration actions - interpret the generated migration report, build using generated scripts, deploy on GlassFish application server.

To learn more about the migration tool, see:

• On Line Documentation.
• Migration Tool FAQ

You can also find the above links on the Migrate To GlassFish project page

Some migration issues are better addressed by documentation than the migration tool. So another goal of this project is to provide improved documentation on solutions to migration issues. I will be building and hosting the documentation and tech tips on Migrate to GlassFish project page. I will also be blogging on migration issues/topics regularly.

We are very interested your feedback and participation on your experience with migration of J2EE/Java EE applications to GlassFish application server - problems you encountered, solutions you adopted etc. We will use the feedback from the community to evolve the current Migration Tool and the documentation, tech tips. Use Migrate To GlassFish Forum for feedback. The forum can also be accessed by the "Dicussion forums" link on the Migrate To GlassFish project page . Let us know if you would like to contribute to the project.
