A Form-based Approach for Application Development by Web Service

This paper describes enduser-initiative application development by Web service integration with interfaces based on the simple concept that “one service = one form. ” The form transformation from input forms into output forms implies service integration. The Web page wrapping method by the HTML-to-XML transformation for communicating with conventional Web applications and the XML merging method for integrating XML-base Web services, are proposed. In these methods, application-specific processes are described in XSLT stylesheets with visual tools, and application-independent processes are generated automatically
