Application Reengineering: Building Web-Based Applications and Dealing with Legacies
February 8, 1999

By Amjad Umar

Methodology Overview: Planning and Modeling

This chapter presents a methodology "pattern" that can be customized to engineer new applications and reengineer existing (mostly legacy) applications in the object-oriented client/server Internet environments. There is no "one size fits all" approach but there are certain generic activities that take place whether you are developing a data warehouse, an electronic commerce application, a Web-based work flow system, a Web-based object wrapper for legacy applications, or a gateway for migrating legacy applications. In particular, you should not have to rethink the entire process for the aforementioned situations.
