Have you Java'd recently?

AFAIK portability is one of the most important factors that lead to success of Java on server platforms. Most Java programmers (sic!) I know develop and test their applications on Windows NT, and then just copy the jars to a Unix server. :beer:

I've heard, however, that there are significant 'issues' when you try to port EJB app from one vendor's container (or whatever they call their middleware) to another. Can't verify that, however.

Free your mind and your ass will follow.

They call it App Server. True, there are problems if you try to do that, but usually they install i.e. IBM Web Sphere both on their development platform (Windows) and production platform (Unix), and then things go smothly. :beer:

Porting from one App Server to another can be a problem if you don't follow the EJB spec when creating your app. If you use proprietary extensions, then yeah, you have a problem. I'm currenly working on a project using J2EE and it has been tested and deployed on 3 different App Servers without any problems and no need for code modifications. BTW, we do all our development on Windows 2K. Jason Gerard
