Can I run the Tomcat app on Bluemix?

Question

We have a simple application that runs on tomcat7 and runs for about a year. We plan to release tires on Bluemix, and we would like to know if there is any information that can help us with this. I saw a message discussing porting applications from WebSphere Application Server v7 to the Liberty profile, but I did not see any links to Tomcat. Any documentation or samples that you could provide would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Yes, you can run your application on Bluemix, however, because the configuration information distributed in several different xml files (server, content and web server) on Tomcat, I suggest you use a step-by-step approach to moving your application . First you need your application to work on the Liberty WebSphere Application Server V8.5.5 profile, then you can push the server package on Bluemix.

Essentially, you want to do the following:

1) Transfer the configuration of the application and the Tomcat server to the Liberty profile using the WebSphere Application Server Migration Toolkit - Competitive Migration . The following article provides detailed information on using this tool:

2) Liberty

3) Liberty Server bluemix. :
