The resources on this page will help you migrate applications written in
traditional programming languages, as well as newer J2EE applications and
Microsoft .NET-based applications, to the WebSphere family of products.
If you develop .NET, Windows client-server, or ASP applications, our
roadmaps and Webcasts will get you on the fast track to Java and
open-standards-based programming.
Porting existing e-business applications from other J2EE environments such
as Tomcat, JRun, or WebLogic Express to WebSphere is relatively
straightforward. The key differences are detailed in these articles.
Moving from traditional iSeries programming languages (RPG, COBOL, C) to
J2EE is a long jump, but does not require a single leap. This roadmap show
you how to first migrate to a more modern Web user interface using WebSphere
Application Server - Express and WebSphere Studio. Then you can move on to
other WebSphere tools for even greater scalability and availability.
