Im currently looking into the difference between IBM Websphere Application Server and IBM Websphere Process Server?
I am aware that the Process Server is like a higher level layer ontop of the App server, but was wondering if development using either would be the same or similar. I have been working with integration developer and App server for a while now, and was wondering if the skills transfered across for Process server.
thanks for any help :)
The process server has a built in WAS.
You can build and deploy standard Java EE applications on both servers this part carries over.
The process server is an extended ESB. If you want to create mediations and process flows, etc, with the full WID feature set then you require the process server. These can be created with the WebSphere Integration Developer as well. However I doubt that you where using these as they won't run on a simple WAS.
Creating mediations and process flows is totally different from the standard Java EE programming.
