JBoss vs Websphere

[S Santhosh]

Does this book compare/differentiate or reference websphere server. Will this book help if migrating from websphere server to JBoss servers?

thanks,
Santhosh

Hi Santhosh,
no, there's no comparison with websphere as the focus of the book is about learning how to develop
Java EE applications on JBoss rather then migrating existing apps. However today applications are easier to port
from one AS to another (think about the new Persitence specification. Once it was a nightmare porting one Entity Bean-based
application) so, in most cases maybe a good article on the web could be just enough.....
(Of course if one application is tightly locked with the application server environment, that's a much more complicated matter.)
kind regards,
Francesco
