SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR MODELING AND GENERATING REUSABLE APPLICATION COMPONENT FRAMEWORKS, AND AUTOMATED ASSEMBLY OF SERVICE - ORIENTED APPLICATIONS EXISTING APPLICATIONS

摘要

Embodiments of systems and methods model and generate open reusable, business components (410) for Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) from existing client/server applications (401). Applications are decomposed into business component frameworks (405) with separate user interface, business logic, and event management layers to enable service-oriented development of new enterprise applications (425). Such layers are re-assembled through an open standards-based, Native Application Services (NAS) (420) to render similar or near identical transactional functionality within a new application on an open platform (425), without breaking former production code, and without requiring a change in an end-user's business processes and/or user experience. In addition, the same separated layers may form re-usable business components at any desired level of granularity (416) for re-use in external composite applications (435) through industry-standard interfaces, regardless of usage, context, or complexity in the former client/server application (401).
