“…After receiving the requests from a remote client, the wrapper simulates a Job Control Language (JCL) procedure in the creation of input and output files and invokes the legacy system program. Lin et al [23] propose to use a wrapper in order to reuse MS-Windows as a CORBA object. The wrapper implementation requires the wrapper to redirect the input/output data streams and to generate a CORBA interface.…”

“…On the other hand, controlled experiments have been rarely used in the software maintenance field. The combined use of case studies and controlled experiments let software engineers better evaluate whether the migration technologies produced in research laboratories fulfill the industry needs [5,23,33].…”

“….). In order to preserve the past investments, and reduce risks and development costs the encapsulation of legacy systems through wrapping technologies is a viable alternative [8,14,23,39,41]. Wrapping technologies are now mature and also include commercial solutions (e.g., WebSphere Studio Enterprise Developer [27] offered by IBM).…”

“…This phase concerns how a client invokes a Windows software application via procedure calls rather than a typical user interface, such as a GUI. The corresponding activity is I/O adaptation which involves the designated I/O adapter adapting the MSWindows application's operational interface into a programmable interface through a set of I/O interception/redirection procedures [1]. † Encapsulation phase.…”

CORBA is becoming the most important middle-ware that supports object-oriented and client/server paradigm in distributed computing systems. However the CORBA-based application systems are still scarce up to date. One main reason is that only few CORBA object services have been developed. To have a new CORBA application, a programmer should make efforts to design a program with CORBA interface from scratch. In our previous works, we successfully adapted existing PC software applications, particularly for Windows applications, in binary code mode to the object services under CORBA. To facilitate such reuse, a design pattern supporting design process guidelines is desired. Our study is addressing this pattern with pattern language. A graphic factory temperature monitor system, which integrates MS-Excel under MS-Windows has been implemented to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach.
