Abstract

An interface of an application program is identified by parsing the source code of the application program to identify meta information, and the meta information and a link pointing to an original location of the meta information within the application program are stored in a repository. A user may then be allowed to query the repository to determine which source files and which interfaces comprise the application program. Responsive to the query, a new source file is constructed which contains the interfaces comprising the application program. The new source file and a link pointing to a location of the new source file are also stored in the repository. A meta language document is constructed which contains a description of the application program interfaces to enable a a connector building tool to build an interface to the application program.
