Extending Desktop Applications to the Web

PublisherSan Francisco State University
Format150.7KB PDFDate added11 Mar 2004
Topics HTML, .NET, Application Development
Downloads36

Web applications have become the major means to allow ubiquitous access to backend systems via a web browser. Several technologies such as JSP, ASP.NET, or Java Server Faces exist today that help in developing web applications. These technologies do not support the migration of existing legacy desktop applications written with a GUI class library such as Swing, Qt, or GTK to web applications. The framework presented in this paper allows the programmer to expose arbitrary desktop applications as web applications without requiring any changes in the source code of that application.
