Abstract
In this paper we present a methodology, called binding Business Applications to LEgacy systems (BALES), that allows to blend modem web-services with objectified legacy data and functionality in order to construct new business applications.
The core of this methodology encompasses a linking phase, during which reusable portions of wrapped legacy data and functionality are determined, and subsequently linked to the interface of web-services. In this way, the legacy wrappers are hardwired into the web-service interfaces, and, so they can be reconfigured to meet changed business requirements.
