Implementation of an Adaptor Component to Integrate Legacy Applications into an SOA Middleware

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is becoming a great innovative architecture in software industry, which supports reusability and interoperability of applications. It is essential for this architecture to be implemented in Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) domain to leverage its advantages. The use of SOA can accelerate the growth and proliferation of eServices for Marginalized Rural Areas (MRAs) by enabling easy integration of third-party services through Web Services interfaces. The integration of legacy applications using the current SOA architecture will afford flexibility and extensibility. For the integration and modernization to be attained, relevant Web Services interfaces to the SOA middleware need to be exposed. Hence this research will explore the use of Web Services for the modernization of these legacy applications, with a specific focus on eCommerce and eLearning applications.
