Abstract
A design tool assists with the conversion of legacy applications to web services. The design tool provides a flexible and visual design environment through which web services are defined, created, and deployed for controlling a legacy application. As a result, the legacy applications may be made accessible through web services to remote callers consonant with the wide spread adoption of web services. An organization may thereby extend the life-cycle of their legacy applications and continue to realize the benefit of substantial investment in the applications.
