It is no secret that companies are cost-driven — if there is an opportunity to optimize your efficiency, you have to seize it. SAP Web Application Server (SAP Web AS) 6.30, and now 6.40, incorporate the J2EE 1.3 standard, so you no longer have to maintain separate servers for your J2EE and ABAP applications. But before migrating all of your existing J2EE applications to SAP Web AS, you need to accurately assess how the new server will respond to your unique real-world conditions. This article shows you how to port a J2EE-based application to SAP Web AS for this purpose. It points out some potential problem areas and provides recommendations for ensuring a successful J2EE migration.
