During the evolution of an application, it happens that developers must change the programming language. In the context of a collaboration with Berger-Levrault, a major IT company, we are working on the migration of a GWT application to Angular. We focus on the GUI aspect of this migration which, even if both frameworks are web Graphical User Interface (GUI) frameworks, is made difficult because they use different programming languages and different organization schema. Such migration is complicated by the fact that the new application must be able to mimic closely the visual aspect of the old one so that the users of the application are not disrupted. We propose an approach in four steps that uses a meta-model to represent the GUI at a high abstraction level. We evaluated this approach on an application comprising 470 Java (GWT) classes representing 56 pages. We are able to model all the web pages of the application and 93% of the widgets they contain, and we successfully migrated 26 out of 39 pages (66%). We give examples of the migrated pages, both successful and not.

“…Naziha et al [7] have discussed a number of existing model driven works and IFML modeling tools for the development of GUIs within an in-depth comparative study. Another IFML based solution has been proposed in [8] taking a different way for software modernization according to an architecture-driven modernization (ADM) [9] based approach. The point of convergence between these all previous IFML based solutions, is that they proceed through the code generation step in order to reach the source code of the corresponding GUIs design to be run later.…”

Quite recently, considerable attention has been paid to the design, implementation and evaluation of graphical user interfaces due to the apparition of the new strategic trend of computing everywhere. Accordingly, it is necessary to adopt an abstract representation of systems front-end in order to ensure this trend. IFML (Interaction Flow Modeling Language) is a user interfaces description language used to describe the content and interaction behavior of applications front-end. It has been conceived with executability aspect that is obtained via model transformations and full code generators into functional codes. however, these code generators are often accompanied by a loss of information. The main goal of this paper is to present a new virtual machine for directly executing GUIs models designed with IFML language in combination with UML domain model; that captures the content dependency. These input models will be then run on different platforms and devices. We adopted a new model driven approach that includes the hybrid approach of interpretive compiler; through a set of transformation rules, for the implementation of the desired virtual machine.
