Seriously though, thank you for the link. It was an interesting read, and its good to know that a least one company has done a serious attempt at semi automated application migration from Notes to J2EE, should the need ever arise. The white papers are very well written, and one thing they show is how hard it is to emulate all the functionality the Notes environment has in a “classic” application environment. You should read it several times Peter. Know thy enemy! 😉

I thinks also Casahl, Quest and BinaryTree have very good solutions.
