Develop on BEA, deploy on Websphere, Oracle iAS

[Douglas Kent]

Does anyone have experience in successfully using BEA's Workshop and Weblogic 7x or 8x tools (ie Workflow, Integration) to develop the app, then deploy it to either WebSphere or iAS? Our customer has both of these already, and we would like to develop components on BEA and deploy to either of the others...

thanks in advance!

WLI Applications will only be able to deploy on WebLogic. Sorry, you are out of luck on this one.

Thanks, Chris. Same for the Workflow?

WLI and WorkFlow are one and the same. However, if you are referring to PageFlow then you it is your lucky day. BEA has a compatibility kit that, in theory, should allow PageFlow Applications to run under any Servlet 2.3 Container. However, if portability is your prime concern, I would definitely question the choice of using PageFlow. In fact, even if you are deploying just to WebLogic I would still prefer straight Struts over PageFlow (which is based on Struts).
