Websphere descriptors
I want to start working on the ability to migrate apps deployed on
Websphere onto TomEE. Can anybody give me some guidance on how to get
started on it?

Thats true, the problem I faced with WAS is that their specific deployment
descriptors are dispersed among different ones. IDK if I can really help or
not, ate time wise, but for sure if you have any questions I would like to
know them maybe I can consult friends who are still using WAS for help of
input.

Hi Mohammad,
I did some initial research into what kind of config files are available in
WAS. Seems like configuration is split in multiple files (.xmi files). Will
continue to explore. I'd say version 6 and 7 would be the targets.
Objective is to
1. Allow easy migration from WAS where folks can simply drop a EAR into
TomEE
2. Have TomEE read the WAS configuration and spit out its own corresponding
configuration which folks could use after migration.
Any input or guidance would be great.

Hi Karan...
Any progress in that regard ? Asking just out of interest
I started by supporting WAS 6.0 as at that time it was the commonly found
in most of already existing production environments, I am not sure if that
is still the case or not.
Would you please explain what are the use case scenarios for the need of
such feature ? which versions are required to be supported ?

Re: Websphere descriptors

You basically need to add WAS descriptor in openejb-jee (in a was8 package?)
then as said JL add a WASConverter implementing DynamicDeployer
then add WAS8 to vendors and in ConfigurationFactory respect the property
selecting activated conversions:
"final Set<Vendor> support =
SystemInstance.get().getOptions().getAll("openejb.vendor.config",
Vendor.values());"
typically you'll do:
if (support.contains(Vendor.WAS8)) {
chain.add(new Was8Conversion());
}

Hi Karan,
Mohammad already started the same kind of work a year ago (or so).
He started creating JaxB tree from WAS XSD. I guess, some of them are
already available for WAS v6 (AFAIR).
All should be in container/openejb-jee
Then, I guess you just need to create a new DynamicDeployer (have a look to
OpenEjb2Conversion, WlsConversion, SunConversion and so on).
All the stuff is then added in ConfigurationFactory depending on the vendor
you wanna deal with. As soon as you get your converter created, just add it
to the chain.
Hope it helps,
Jean-Louis
