I am
documenting how to migrate an application from AS5/AS6 to AS7. Its purpose is to track
application changes that are required to deploy and run
existing archives in AS7. It would also be useful to include general issues about migrating from EE5 to EE6.
The document can be found at https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/How+do+I+migrate+my+application+from+AS5+or+AS6+to+AS7.
The current content is based on information
obtained from existing community documentation, issues I ran
into while migrating a Seam 2 WAR, and Andy's experience
migrating existing applications. So far I have added the
following:
- Class loading changes which includes
modules and manifest entries
- DataSource and JDBC drivers
- Portable JNDI syntax
- Logging (although I don't believe this is
required, other than manifest entries)
- Infinispan 2nd level cache
The content is very
limited at this point. so I am trying to gather additional
information. Please help me build up and improve this
document. I'm looking for the following:
- People to review what's there and give
feedback, corrections, and suggestions for improvement.
- Additional sections that would be useful.
- Other components that will need to be
modified when migrating applications..
- Anyone who has experience migrating
applications to AS7 and knows of changes that must be made
to successfully deploy and run the application.
Please feel free to contribute directly to this
document ( https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/How+do+I+migrate+my+application+from+AS5+or+AS6+to+AS7
) or, if you prefer, send information
and feedback to me.
Thanks,
Sande
