Implement web site on Java platform 2

[developer155]

Hi, my company is looking to convert our e-commerce web site to a Java platform. The site is now on ASP on Windows web servers and SQL server db. Can someone give me an idea of what it would take for the conversion, like:

Hardware(web servers, db servers, etc,)-how long to install
Software (same thing)
Where, how to start
Anything that you can think would help me in determining level of effort

thanks!!!

Do you have experienced Java programmers available?

You can keep your existing windows server and sql server investment.

Install Tomcat (server similar to IIS), or JBOSS (uses Tomcat internally and also has an application server for J2EE objects). You would need someone with expertise to get this up and running.

Then you'd have to port your ASP.. You can write the code in JSP (the closest analog to ASP) or since you're re writing it you can start to implement struts. Struts is sort of like the .NET framework for Java.

Java is quite a complex world and has many other options than what i mentioned above.

Erm, Struts is *nothing* like .NET .

I should rephrase my original sentence.


Struts gives you the code-behind like abilities that ASP.NET has. It is not analogous to the .NET framework.
