“…Most existing works on extraction of components from a legacy system have as a main aim the construction of an understandable architecture [10,17,2]. When the legacy system is implemented in the object-oriented paradigm, a component is represented by a cluster of classes with a set of provided methods and a set of required methods.…”

“…However it needs to be complemented by a mapping between architectural elements and their corresponding ones in the code in order to facilitate the achievement of maintenance. In fact, sets of classes, representing components, can not be easily projected onto a specific component model [2]. This problem is due to the shift from the concept of object instances to the concept of component instances.…”

“…After that, we apply it on a Java application that we restructured into a component-based application with the approach presented in [2]. To validate the correction of the restructuring, we have replayed the application's case studies on its component-based version and the results were identical to those of its object-oriented version.…”

Software architecture plays an important role for the application understanding before its maintenance. Unfortunately, for legacy systems code often there is no corresponding (or up to date) architecture. So, several work tackle this problem by extracting components from the legacy system and define their links. Although these components allow to get an architectural view of the legacy system, they still can't be easily implemented in a concrete framework. In fact, restructuring completely the legacy system facilitates the mapping between the architectural elements and their corresponding ones in the code. This paves the way to the future maintenance of the system.Our approach aims to reach this complete restructuring. Thus it goes beyond what exists in the state of the art by proposing a technique that makes components extracted from object-oriented applications implementable within a concrete component model. This is done by using class instances that compose the extracted components to infer possible instances the components. Thus, we propose for each extracted component its provided and required interfaces, and a way to construct its instances. We validated the feasibility of the proposed approach through the Spring framework and we illustrated it through a legacy Java application.

Most of the time a large software system implies a complex architecture. However, at some point of the system's execution, its components are not necessarily all running. Indeed, some components may not be concerned by a given use case, and therefore they do not consume/use or register the declared services. Thus, these architectural elements (components and their services) represent a "noise" in the architecture model of the system. Their elimination from the architecture model may greatly reduce its complexity, and consequently helps developers in their maintenance tasks. In our work, we argue that a large service-oriented system has, not only one, but several architectures, which are specific to its runtime use cases. Indeed, each architecture reflects the services, and thereby the components, which are really useful for a given use case. In this paper, we present an approach for recovering such use case specific architectures of service-oriented systems. Architectures are recovered both through a source code analysis and by querying the runtime environment and the service registry. The first built architecture (the core architecture) is composed of the components that are present in all the use cases. Then, depending on a particular use case, this core architecture will be enriched with only the needed components.
