From a Desktop Application to a Web API A Code Conversion Approach
Pages 6 - 10
Abstract
Nowadays, hybrid solutions that manage the interaction between desktop platforms and Web applications and mobile devices are steadily gaining more and more importance. In this context, the use of Web services stands as the development technology to use. In this paper an automatable approach for the conversion of code from a desktop application to a Web service is presented. In order to demonstrate this approach, a real-life based scenario is presented, in which the services of an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system were made available, automatically, via Web services, using the Web API (Application Programming Interface) framework from Microsoft.
