  Websphere JSP to IIS 5.1/Tomcat Reply Contact I just landed a gig where part of the requirements will be to convert a Websphere application to a Microsoft IIS 5.1 platform entailing a need to migrate the underlying DB2 database to SQL Server 2000.  My initial thought/plan is to take the websphere JAVA stuff (seems the application is all JSP) and copy it over onto a IIS machine, install Tomcat, and see what I'll need to do to the code to make the app deploy and act nice.  The DB2 database will need to be recreated manually or somehow exported generically and imported in a fashion SQL Server can handle.  I did find all the DTD scripts, so the manual creation is not that daunting (though there are scores of tables). Does anyone have any pointers, tips, war stories, etc on how to accomplish this and what traps to avoid? Da Lizard

  Re: Websphere JSP to IIS 5.1/Tomcat Reply Contact  :) This gig is for a government agency and there is a significant amount of red tape involved...   That is the machine I am using to develop upon and all I'm given access to at the moment.  If I could access the actual server, it would be running on Win2k3.  But, at the moment, I don't have this access and am tasked to provide a feasibility product.
