How can I estimate the work effort required to port my .NET applications to Java EE using Mainsoft for Java EE?
The complexity of the port will depend on which Windows, .NET technologies, and third party applications your application uses, and whether Mainsoft supports these technologies on Java. If not, you may have to find Java alternatives and modify your code to use the Java components. Mainsoft’s cross-compiler will emit compilation errors and warnings when you’re using unsupported .NET classes. Mainsoft also provides a porting analysis tool, which scans your application binaries and reports the unsupported classes your application uses. There are also a few behavioral differences related to basic differences between Java EE and .NET or between Windows and UNIX/Linux that you may also need to address. For instance, URLs are case sensitive in Java EE and files are case sensitive in UNIX/Linux. For commercial applications, Mainsoft Consulting provides porting services on a fixed-cost and fixed-time basis. You can contact our professional services team for a free binary analysis.
