An interesting article, unfortunately very short on technical detail about weather.com ‘s migration to Tomcat from IBM Websphere. Providing you write your applications with the JSP spec in mind, it should be easy to move between servlet containers. I’m interested in their move from Solaris to Linux. Specifically, I’m interested in which threading implementation they used.
They’re also talking of moving from Oracle to MySQL. No doubt this will save licensing fees, but I would speculate that it will be a more difficult migration.
