Hi Guys,
I was asked to deploy an ear file (previously running on Websphere) on
tomcat server. After a little search, I found that I wont be able to deploy an ear file to tomcat. I have compiled a reply for my client but I want to be confirm of this whether I have compiled it correctly or not.
Tomcat is web a server while an ear file can be deployed to a full blown application server like JBoss or WebSphere. We can still convert an ear file deployment to a tomcat deployment if the ear file does not depend on any EBJ APIs. We will just have to take all the class files and libs and place in a directory in tomcat's webapps. But if the ear file depends on some EJB APIs, JBoss will be the only option, if we want to move from WebSphere.
Is this a correct reply? If not, please guide me in a right direction.
