3.2.1.2: Migrating Web application files from Version 2.0x directories

In addition to migrating Web applications to use supported APIs and specifications (see Related information), you need to move the actual application files from the directories in the previous version to the Version 3.5 directory structure.

The figure illustrates the Version 2 and Version 3 (including Version 3.5) directory structures for the default Web application (default_app).

Version 2 and Version 3 directories

For Version 2.0x:

  • Servlet and other application components were placed in the following paths:
    • <AS_install_root>\servlets
    • <AS_install_root>\classes
    • A user-defined reloadable classpath
  • The static HTML and JSP files were placed in the Web server HTML document root

Optimal migration or quick migration

The above placement is not the optimal placement for Version 3.5. However, a default_app is provided with Version 3.5 in case you want to quickly migrate using a placement similar to that of Version 2.0x.

For instructions, select one of two Version-2.0x-to-Version-3.5 file migration paths in the Related information below. Again, the optimal path is the recommended one because withdrawal of support for the suboptimal path is imminent.
