Need advice on the following Java based implementation

[ssubbarayan]

Hi all,
We have got a project where we need to port client portion of
standard
TR069 to a target board with ST7109 processor running on linux2.2
version.Some one in the past have developed a simulator version of
this client code on windows and ran it successfully on pentium pc.
The client code is made of java with Java run time environment JRE1.5
update 6.

Now we would like to port the same client code working on windows
pentium pc to ST7109 based board with linux 2.2.


Can some one elaborate me the steps needed for making this run on
linux on ST7109 processor?
Heard that Java is platform independent.So can Java output files
generated on windows PC (compiled using eclipse IDE ) run on linux OS
over ST7109 processor?
Incase I want to run it,what should be done to make this porting
successful on Java and linux side?
I am new to both linux and Java,so any help will be greatly
appreciated.


Looking farward for your replies and advance thanks for the same,


Regards,

Yes. It will work even better if you specify a common encoding e.g.
UTF-8 for your text-based interchange files. Your binary files are
identical.

The stuff that will give you most trouble is not the Java which should
be fine. It really takes talent to figure out how to write
non-portable code. You must exploit some bug.

Check for JNI/C. This will need some adjusting to use the new OS
calls.

Check any use of exec or ProcessBuilder. You won't have the same
shell or utilities.

Make sure you have the same level of Java and the same libraries
available.
