WhitepapersThe automated software migration processThis paper covers the concepts of software migration and software migrator. It also details the steps of a typical migration process, explaining why 100% automated migration is very hard to achieve and thus migration services are more suitable than an off-the-shelf product.Since automated software translation is an emerging market, there is little publicly available data on this domain. Therefore this paper relies on three sources - the knowledge accumulated while building the company's nTile PtoJ migrator, the company's founders' previous professional experience with automated software translations, and the general context of the IT world.
Exploring nTile PtoJ output flavorsThe nTile PtoJ migrator is built in a modular fashion, allowing easy adjustments of the output. These adjustments can be as broad as the application architecture itself, or as narrow as varying a threshold for the package import (“import package.*”) statements. The paper explores two major output architectures (called flavors from now on), plain servlets and Spring MVC. A comparative analysis highlights the differences as well as the common points between these two. |
