Migrating a webapp on Tomcat to JBoss

Thread view:

Hello,

I have an application that is running as separate JSPs and servlets in
the webapps directory in Tomcat 4.1. I need to migrate this to run on
our existing installation of JBoss 4.0.2. Can I simply copy the webapp
files from "C:\tomcat\webapps" directory to the
"C:\jboss\server\default\deploy" directory as a new "webapps.war" file?

I don't want to deploy to an .ear file. I need to keep the
directories exploded like we currently do on Tomcat running under
JBoss.

Any help, suggestion or point in the right direction would be greatly
appreciated. I looked for migration documentation on the Tomcat and
JBoss sites but couldn't really find anything to help guide me through
this.

Thanks,
KP

Yes if you create a WAR from your Tomcat files you should be able to
deploy it by dropping it in $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy. You DO
NOT need to deploy as an EAR. It should automagically deploy.

You may need to edit some XML config files but from memory this is
minimal at most....

cheers
