Migrating to Tomcat or tc Server
SpringSource tc Server can offer a compelling alternative to traditional (legacy) full stack Java EE application servers, based on a number of factors including performance, licensing cost, resource utilization, usability for agile development environments, and cost of management, among others. However, for organization looking to move existing applications to tc Server, it is not always clear what the effort and impact will be, to move individual applications. This session outlines a clear set of criteria, strategies, and steps (including any needed refactoring) in deciding to move applications to tc Server, and then making the move. The optional use of the Spring Framework, as part of any migration effort, is also covered in this presentation.
