Abstract

Many organizations manage their activities by using legacy information systems, representing important supports for the achievement of their business goals. However, the need to share, among users and applications, in a distributed environment the information stored by these systems requires the migration of data-centric systems toward web-enabled information systems. This paper presents a strategy for migrating a legacy information system toward a technologically modern platform that takes advantages from the object-oriented and web technologies. Moreover, the paper presents the toolkit MVCGen supporting the last phase of the strategy. It automatically generates a web-enabled information system by analysing the relational database model extracted from a legacy database.
