如何将已部署的应用程序从应用程序服务器更改为Web服务器？

Question

I am having a web application which is deployed in oracle weblogic application server. After getting analysed, i found that there is no need for application server(atleast for this application), i am in need to deploy this application into the oracle weblogic web server.

can anyone help on this, how can i change deployed application to webserver from application server ?

Or in a different words, i can say how can i migrate my application deployment from oracle weblogic application server to oracle weblogic web server ?

I am using weblogic 10. and Maven to build the application

About the application, it is using Apache axis, webservices, jsf, and few java classes.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I've recently migrated one application from WAS to tomcat The approach i followd is.

• Identify and remove all the WL specific dependencies / jars (that you may not need of)

• Change the build script to generate .war instead of .ear

• deploy the generated .war to any servlet container/ webserver

with your specs (axis,ws,jsf) you dont need a .ear but .war will do.

if you are using ant modify your build script, i'd suggest go for maven for better dependency management

even for Jboss, you still need to analyze the application to remove all WL specifics. Ex: Descriptors for EJB's MDB's and so on. with JBOSS you can still use the ear format.

A quesiton, you had mentioned that because you found that the application doesn't need a app server you decided to migrate it to web server, now with JMS in the picture do you still need to move?
