About Tomcat for NetWare
Migrating from WebSphere to Tomcat
Step 1: Before Installing NetWare 6
Tomcat enables the NetWare Enterprise Web Server to execute Java servlets.
A servlet can be thought of as a server-side applet without a user interface.
Tomcat provides Web application developers with additional functionality.
For example, a servlet could be written and deployed to process data obtained
from a client via an HTML form and the server-side data processing could
manipulate the data and store results in a database. Servlets provide an
alternative to CGI.
For Tomcat documentation, refer to the HTML files found on your NetWare 6
server under SYS:\TOMCAT\33\DOC\INDEX.HTML.

If you have been using IBM* WebSphere Application Server for NetWare,
you can migrate your existing Web applications to Tomcat using the migration
utility included with NetWare 6. The Migration Utility creates Tomcat 3.3
Web applications from WebSphere Web applications.
The WebSphere-to-Tomcat Migration Utility is intended for use when
upgrading from a NetWare 5.1 server to a NetWare 6.0 server where
WebSphere 3.02 or WebSphere 3.5.1 has been already installed on the
NetWare 5.1 server.
1
At the NetWare console prompt, enter
xmlconfig -export volume:\websphere\migrate.xml -
adminNodeName NodeName
If WebSphere was installed to another volume or directory other than
volume:\WEBSPHERE, then specify that location instead.
IMPORTANT:
You must use the node's correct name.
This step can be skipped if you are migrating from WebSphere Servlet Engine Only
mode for WebSphere version 3.5.1.
2
Open the MIGRATE.XML file found in the volume:\WEBSPHERE
directory to verify that the export was successful.
Your Web applications should be listed in the MIGRATE.XML file.
