Weblogic and JBoss

[kristianp]

I am planning on using JBoss as a test environment and weblogic as production.
I have heard that JBoss can understand the weblogic specific deployment descriptors, is that right ??
If it is right, what does JBoss do with the tags that are specific for weblogic. Are there things that I should be aware of, etc

Thanks

It converts weblogic tags to jboss tags.
It cannot do everything, some things don't have
direct mappings to jboss functionality.
But it does most of the important stuff.

I should qualify my last statement.
I haven't used it myself (I've never used Weblogic),
I'm quoting the author.

Adrian,
Where did you get the information that it converts weblogic tags to jboss tags ? who is the author you're referring too ?

thanks,
Trevor

I downloaded bea-jboss port tool for jboss 3.2( deployer-3.2.sar from the page http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=html&op=userdisplay&id=services/bea-port) and droped it in the deploy directory. Unfortunately, it gets exception at JBoss startup:

It complains org/jboss/util/jmx/MBeanProxy not found, but I only can find org/jboss/mx/util/MBeanProxy in jboss-jmx.jar, so which jar file contains org/jboss/util/jmx/MBeanProxy in JBoss 3.2?

Thanks.

I had the same problem. The nearest I can find to org/jboss/util/jmx/MBeanProxy is org/jboss/mx/util/MBeanProxy which lives in jboss-jmx.jar in the lib directory.

The same thing seems to occur with 3.2.0 and 3.2.1.

What you can do is the following :

Download 3.0.4 and the Foe-deployer for 3.0.x

Deploy your app on 3.0.4 and copy the generated deployment descriptors.

I know this is a quick and dirty workaround but it will get you started.

Thanks, that's got me most of the way. It generated all most of the CMP stuff and I ported the rest by hand.

There is still one outstanding issue though; I've got weblogic-ql custom ejbSelects which return ResultSets. But all the examples i've seen for jboss-ql, dynamic-ql, declared-sql and even the BMP custom finders all return Local/Remote interfaces OR Collections/Sets of Local/Remote interfaces.

Is there some way I can return a selection of fields from a number of EJBs without having to do findByPrimaryKey on them.
