How does conversion of Java methods work in JLCA?

Methods in Java classes are converted as appropriate to C#. JLCA allows the users to decide if they want properties or the getter-setter syntax. By default the getter-setter conversion is enabled for JLCA. In case the user wants to convert the methods appropriately to properties, the user can use the /ProcessGetSetOff Flag while conversion. This flag is not available from the JLCA Wizard but can be used if the conversion is being carried out from the command line. To access JLCA from the command line, the user may go to " <%SystemDrive%>\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\JavaLanguageConversionAssistant" directory and execute JLCA using jconvert.exe.

I have a JSP application which I want to convert to ASP.NET. What is the conversion efficiency and are there some resources I can refer to?

The conversion efficiency of converting JSP applications to ASP.NET is very high. I do not want to state any number here :) There is an extensive guide that is available for "Migrating JSP applications to ASP.NET" and is available here. It contains various whitepapers, case studies, sample code etc.
