J2EE 1.3 to 1.4 specification level migration

J2EE projects can be migrated from the J2EE 1.3 to J2EE 1.4 specification level. This section describes, for each type of J2EE project, the artifacts migrated from J2EE 1.3 to J2EE 1.4 by the J2EE Migration Wizard.

Web projects (Servlet level 2.3 to Servlet level 2.4)
Artifacts of a Web deployment descriptor are migrated by the J2EE Migration Wizard when a J2EE 1.3 level Web project is migrated to J2EE 1.4.

Connector projects (JCA 1.0 to JCA 1.5)
The J2EE Migration Wizard migrates the artifacts of a J2EE Connector architecture (JCA) 1.0 descriptor to JCA 1.5. The migrated artifacts are related to the elements of the ResourceAdaptor object as two new objects, OutboundResourceAdaptor and ConnectionDefinition, were added to the ResourceAdaptor object in J2EE 1.4 specification level for Connector projects.

Web services (J2EE 1.3 to J2EE 1.4)
The J2EE 1.4 specification has added support for Web services through the new JAX-RPC 1.0 API.
