Incompatible Security Integrations
Proprietary security modules on your Tomcat hosts don't translate directly to Liberty's security model.
Legacy Configuration Formats
Tomcat's configuration style must be converted to server.xml, a complex manual process.
Unsupported Classloader Dependencies
Ancient library versions tied to Tomcat may break on Liberty if not properly rearchitected.
Apache Tomcat → IBM WebSphere Liberty migration — your questions answered
What is the process to migrate Tomcat to WebSphere Liberty?+
We start with a readiness assessment using discovery scripts that audit your Tomcat environment. Then we produce a server.xml configuration, handle security and classloader issues, and test the migration in a fixed-scope project.
Can I deploy existing Tomcat WARs on WebSphere Liberty without changes?+
Many WARs deploy without changes, but applications with proprietary security integrations or legacy classloader dependencies may need adjustments. Our audit identifies these upfront.
How long does a typical Tomcat to WebSphere Liberty migration take?+
Our typical projects run 2-4 months with 2-3 senior consultants, depending on application complexity.
What support do I get if I let my Tomcat vendor support lapse during migration?+
While your vendor contract is active, it covers the legacy platform. If it lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on Tomcat as you complete the move. It does not include vendor patches.
