SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DESKTOP APPLICATION MIGRATION

The present invention provides a system and a method for desktop application migration, which are divided to a development phase and an actual runtime phase. During the development phase, interface description data of each window are dumped by traversing all windows of a desktop application; a raw template is semi-automatically generated using the interface description data of each window; it is further designated manually and/or according to rules which parts are "data-type interface elements" based on the raw template, so as to form a final template. During the actual runtime phase, the interface description data of the desktop application are obtained in real time, and values and attribute information of the "data-type interface elements" are dumped therefrom for filling in the template, in order to form a finally-presented webpage. The present invention significantly improves efficiency of creating a new web application and saves development costs by semi-automatically generating the templates.
