Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a hybrid approach of wrapping and migration for the reuse of legacy applications through a case study. This approach is based on eXtensible Markup Language (XML), client/server architecture and the concepts used by Netron Fusion. To implement wrapping and migration of legacy applications, necessary information is achieved by gaining the understanding of the information flow and logic, and tracing users' interactions with systems, aiming at minimal modifications of the original applications. We present, through a case study, a way of applying this approach to an application.
