We're looking to do a migration of an old app to cloud. Currently it is built on Beehive framework and running on Weblogic 10.3.6. My question is, can we run Beehive framework on tomcat and get rid of weblogic altogether? I can not find anything on this subject anywhere. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Beehive is coming from the Apache Foundation and is completly open source. Read the documentation. Migrating your application from WebLogic Server to Apache tomcat should be possible.
It is a very old, deprecated and abandoned project. No fix or development since 2006. I suggest you to migrate your application to a more recent and powerfull JEE web framework if possible.

Is there a way to deploy DropWizard in JBoss? We are required to use JBoss anyway but don't want to miss out trying DropWizard. Came to know about wiztowar but current DropWizard version 0.7.1 (which is tailored to support JDK 7+ and likely to be supported in future) does not seem to have equivalent in wiztowar, whose last version is suited only for DropWizard 0.6.2? Is there a way out?
Thanks,

Have a look at https://github.com/rvs-fluid-it/dw-jar-to-war. The project is in its early stages. But it is already working on Tomcat 7 and Weblogic 12c. The DropWizard version is 0.8. Feel free to test it on JBoss. I welcome feedback.
I am interested in Heroku but can't seem to find the answer to my particular situation.
I have a couple of apps developed in 'pure' Java EE. No Spring, no Play! just servlets and JSPs. I would like to deploy them via Heroku, but their text on their website keeps mentioning various frameworks. I hand roll my own dependency injection and prefer it that way.
Is this supported on Heroku?
Thanks-in-advance,
Guido
Heroku Dev Center has an article on war-file deployment.
You can use both the Eclipse plugin and the Heroku Toolbelt command-line tool.
I am using Eclipse with Google App Engine Development Server right now on Win-7 platform . I have to create a simple website using Java . I am confused that do I need Tomcat Server installed in-order to develop Java based site using Eclipse Framework ? Can Tomcat be installed on Win-7 platform ? please guide on this . If any better framework is available please suggest (as I am new to this) .
The GAE development server is specifically designed to help you develop applications for Google App Engine by simulating the actual GAE environment. If you plan to deploy the webapp on GAE, then it's all you need.
If you want to develop a standard Java EE webapp, then you indeed need a standard Java EE web container. Tomcat is one of them, but you could also use Jetty, GlassFish, JBooss, Resin or any other Java EE web container. And since they're all written in Java, they're all multiplatform and can all be installed on Windows.
Also Eclipse is not a framework. It's an IDE. Developing a webapp using Eclipse, IntelliJ, NetBeans or a text editor and the JDK doesn't change anything to the webapp. They're just tools to help you write Java code.
We have deployed our JBoss Seam 2.2 application on JBoss 5.1 with PostgreSQL as the database. It makes use of EJBs, JPA (Hibernate), JSF (Richfaces and Primefaces), Servlets, and JMS queues and topics. Recently, we've decided to migrate the platform to JBoss 7.1 to take advantage of its lower overhead, as well as to keep in step with changes in technology.
Is it possible to run Seam 2.2 applications on JBoss 7.1? I realize the Hibernate/JPA version is different, and I'm assuming the JSF version is as well. Are there ways to compensate for this? What changes to our code and configuration could I potentially have to make in order to run it on this platform?
The short answer is yes you can migrate your Seam 2.2 app to JBoss AS 7.
The main challenge is going to be classloading because of how class loading is completely re-architected with AS 7.
Instead of me going through all the steps here I simply want to point you to the official documentation of how this was done on one of the sample apps (Seam Booking application). It provides a step-by-step guide on how you can migrate a Seam 2.x app to JBoss AS 7 and also points some of the issues you will face and how you can handle them.
The guide is located here.

Good luck!
I'm looking to build a Struts 1.2.x application for Websphere, using IBM's Application Server Toolkit. Are there any plugins available for this toolkit (it is a version of Eclipse) that are known to help with this type of development? I am new to Struts so I will also be learning about the technology as I go along, but I want to make it as painless as possible.
A web search has only brought up things such as "MyEclipse", which I can't use in the corporate environment.
I don't know about Application Server Toolkit, but since it's Eclipse based, you might directly use the struts plugin from the Eclipse project. Beware of the version, since it's not based on the very last Eclipse version.
The easiest, albeit costly, route for corporates environments is through Rational Application Developer that IBM provides. It integrates nicely with WebSphere Application Server. It has a struts plug-in build-in.
Try StrutsIDE Eclipse plugin.
the name of the custom eclipse for IBM websphere is Rational Software Architect and i think it comes with a Struts plug-in
This can get tricky depending on the version of Websphere you are using. We have an old Struts 1.1 app that has been around for years. I use an old 5.x version of Websphere to run it, along with what used to be called Websphere Studio Application Developer. It is based on Eclipse, and all the Struts stuff is built in.
