Embodiment Construction

[0018] The following detailed description is directed to techniques for converting desktop applications to web applications. According to some embodiments described herein, the conversion process is adapted to convert desktop applications into web applications. The transformation process may deconstruct the desktop application from the user interface, application executable code, and application data and state into metadata representing the user interface, application executable code, and application data and state. After deconstructing the desktop application into relevant metadata, the conversion process can generate a resulting web application based on the deconstructed metadata. A web application may include a web interface, a page router, n-tier web business logic, and a web data store.

[0019] Although the subject matter described herein is presented in the general context of program modules executed in conjunction with the execution of an operating system and applicat...

Abstract

Technologies are described herein for converting a desktop application to a web application. An interface file is generated based on a user interface of the desktop application. A logic file is generated based on application executables of the desktop application. A data model is generated based on application data and states of the desktop application. The web application is generated based on the interface file, the logic file, and the data model.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to computer applications, and more particularly to converting desktop applications into web applications. Background technique [0002] Business applications have traditionally been delivered as desktop applications. Desktop applications, typically installed on individual client machines, typically provide a rich, responsive, and usable interface that includes a variety of user interface ("UI") controls and other design elements. Also, since business applications have traditionally been provided as desktop applications, the development of desktop applications is generally known. However, some disadvantages of desktop applications include operating system ("OS") dependencies, security vulnerabilities, and difficulty in maintenance. [0003] With OS dependencies, a desktop application designed for one operating system may not operate on another. Sometimes a desktop application designed for one version of an operating syst...
