J2EE Deployment

[Steve Green]

Hi,

I am somewhat new to J2EE and EJBs. I downloaded version 4.1 of netbeans
which includes Sun's appserver. If I develop applications in this
environment, how hard is it to deploy my application on other types of
appserver?

Thanks,

Steve

In theory, an application written to the spec (not using extra, non-spec AS
features) is fully portable across any spec-supporting AS. I don't know if Sun's
server offers features beyond the spec, but I would hypothesize that it doesn't.
I would also expect it to conform tightly to the spec. I haven't tried Sun's AS
out, but I have downloaded it with the intention of doing so.

Probably not hard. I routinely deploy things written for Oracle OC4J to
Tomcat. I have taken things developed in Eclipse for Websphere and
deployed them to OC4J. There are, of course certain things that you may
want to double check. Most applications use a connection to a database
or EJB, you may want to make sure they all work in the new environment.
