) is heating up the open source middleware space with a new migration tool for moving from Red Hat’s JBoss Application Server to Apache Geronimo. IBM claims that the Apache model offers greater community collaboration that what JBoss offers, a claim that Red Hat disputes. Millions of dollars are at stake in the hotly-contested open source middleware market. The new, free JBoss to Apache Geronimo migration tool is being donated by IBM to Apache. The tool will also work with IBM’s WebSphere Community Edition, which is based on Apache Geronimo. Paul Buck, director of IBM WebSphere open source software, explained to internetnews.com that what the migration tool does is automates the migrations of applications from JBoss to Geronimo. In theory though, since both Geronimo and JBoss Application Server are J2EE-compliant servers, applications that run on one should run on the other. In practice that’s not always the case.
