Abstract
Web 2.0 phenomenon, REST APIs and growing mobile service consumption are leading the development of web applications to a new paradigm, named cross-device web application. Most organizations often possess legacy systems which should face an ongoing evolution process to enhance its accessibility and interoperability. In such scenario, a REST API plays a key role, defining the interaction layer between the legacy system and all its heterogeneous frontends. This work presents a model-driven approach to derive a REST API from a legacy web application within the frame defined by a modernization process. In this work we detail the API generation process and provide a sample implementation instrumenting one of the studied web development frameworks to evaluate the suitability of the approach.
