Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that executes an application designed for one application framework in a different application framework. First, the system receives an application designed to operate in the first application framework. The system determines a first set of security permissions used by the application in the first application framework, and maps these security permissions into a second set of security permissions associated with the second application framework. The system then configures the second application framework to provide the second set of security permissions. These steps allow the application to execute transparently in the second application framework with substantially similar security behavior as in the first application framework.
