Trust Our WebSphere to Tomcat Migration — Proven by Senior Engineers
Migrating IBM WebSphere Application Server to Apache Tomcat is a well-understood project: we assess, refactor EJBs to POJOs, and execute a fixed-scope migration while your vendor support stays active.
The lowest-cost way off IBM WebSphere Application Server: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support IBM WebSphere Application Server → Apache Tomcat after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope projects by senior engineers
- ✓Vendor support active while you migrate
- ✓Refactor EJBs to POJOs or Spring Beans
- ✓40-70% savings on legacy WAS support
- ✓24/7 US-based post-migration support
- ✓3-6 month timeline, predictable budget
EJB Refactoring Complexity
Complex Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) must be refactored to POJOs or Spring beans—a daunting task without experience.
CMT Dependency
Container-managed transactions (CMT) tied to WebSphere require external transaction managers, adding risk if handled poorly.
JTA Data Source Lock-In
WebSphere-managed JTA data sources lock you into proprietary infrastructure, making the move seem harder than it is.
IBM WebSphere Application Server → Apache Tomcat migration — your questions answered
How exactly do you migrate from WebSphere to Tomcat?+
We first assess your WebSphere environment, then refactor EJB beans to lightweight Spring beans or POJOs. A fixed-scope project plan is built with a timeline of 3-6 months. Your existing vendor support stays active throughout, so you never lose production coverage.
What about complex EJBs or container-managed transactions?+
Yes. Heavy EJB usage and container-managed transactions require refactoring. Our senior engineers convert EJBs to POJOs or Spring beans and replace WebSphere JTA data sources with Atomikos or similar transaction managers. This is included in the fixed scope.
Do we lose support during the move to Tomcat?+
You keep your existing IBM vendor support as long as your contract is active. After migration, you can switch to our third-party support for most operational issues (excluding vendor patches). That typically saves 40-70% vs renewing WAS support.
Can we migrate only part of our workload to Tomcat first?+
Absolutely. Because we break down the migration into fixed-scope phases, you can move one Application or environment at a time. The WebSphere ear is converted to a Tomcat war and deployed alongside your remaining WAS instances.
