Model-Based Development of Web 2.0 Applications with MDA
Keywords: Modellbasierte Software-Entwicklung, Web 2.0, Model Driven Architecture, UI-Modellierung, Generierung des User Interface
Model based software development, e.g. OMG´s Model Driven Architecture, is enabling the separation of a high level application design from the implementation making it possible to generate most of the code. The mixture of the application design with implementation-specific details has a negative influence on maintainability, reusability and portability of the software. This is true not only for Web 2.0 applications. Model based approaches make it possible to exchange technologies and/or platforms while maintaining (and reusing) the models of the “business world”, i.e. the high level design. This contribution shows, by a simple example, how an "old" web application can be re-engineered using AJAX, without the necessity for a complete new development cycle.
