Generation of server page type web applications from diagrams

Web applications such as database query systems and transaction systems are widely used on the Internet. There are two types of Web applications, server program type and server page type. From the viewpoint of automatic generation, server page type Web applications are not easy to generate. In this paper, extending the model for automatic generation of server program type Web applications, we propose diagrams called Web transition diagrams to represent server page type Web applications such as ASP and JSP. Then we design a Web application generator for server page type Web applications. Typical server page type Web applications can be generated using our generator without procedural programming. The standard level of security management in Web applications is also provided automatically.
