Migrating from tomcat to websphere

Question

At the moment, I'm developing a java web application locally(localhost) on Windows, using Tomcat 8.5 .

Unofortunately, I have no developing enviroment, so I have to do everything locally and then deploy to production via .WAR .

The issue is that the production application server (Linux RedHat) is running on websphere, if I generate the .WAR on tomcat, Will I have any problems to run it on WebSphere?

My system does nothing fancy, no hibernate, no spring, just a very classic mvc web application.

Thanks in advance

In general you shouldn't have to make any changes, but there are some differences between the two environments that could cause issues.

IBM provides a tool that will analyze your application and suggest changes that may need to be made. You can find more information here: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/mw-1701-was-migration/index.html
