Abstract
A web service creation system converts legacy application functionality to web services. The system captures the operation of the legacy application through an accessibility layer that monitors operator interaction with the application. The system then defines, creates, and deploys a web service that provides control over the application operation. As a result, the legacy application may be made accessible through web services and an organization may continue to realize a return on their significant investment in the creation of the legacy application.
