I have quite big J2ee Web App right now running on IBM WAS 8 that should be moved over PCF 2.0 environment. The web application leverage on EJB 3 services.

Are there any alternative to convert EJB service to Spring Boot services during migration? I'd like to avoid dockers if possibile.

many thanks

Can you describe more about what you want to do? Spring Boot is aimed at a partial JEE environment (i.e. no EJB's) and "converting" is rather open ended. – stdunbar
Sure. I have 2 EAR files. one containing the war (JSF 2, Spring, ...), a second one containing the services (EJB 3, Spring, hibernate). I'd like to keep the application as much as possibile as right now and preventing to disassemble it to became cloud-native. What I am looking for is some ideas/cases to start digging in the right direction. – Oibaf it

Any application that you upload in to your space in PCF can support microservices Architecture pattern.

  • Upload your J2EE APP
  • Convert all your EJB Related services in to a Spring Boot App and upload those Apps in to same space
    • Ensure those Spring Boot Apps exposes HTTP REST Endpoints
  • Access the REST Endpoints from your J2EE App.

It's pretty simple !!
