Abstract :
Reengineering applications so that they can be Web-enabled is a problem faced by many software development teams nowadays. In this research work, we present a semi-automated approach to help tackling this kind of problem. By using automated software transformation techniques, we combine the Fusion/RE reverse-engineering approach and the Draco-PUC transformational workbench in order to reengineer legacy procedure-oriented Clipper systems into object-oriented Java Web-enabled applications. We demonstrate our approach through a sample system having 20 K lines of code
