Cobol to J2EE/.NET transformation system

System’s main purpose is to translate code of old IBM mainframes Cobol-based frameworks (IDMS, etc.) to J2EE and .NET code based on Java and C# languages. Translation is done using XML techniques — XSLT, XPath. XML is used as language for the intermediate representation of code between Cobol and Java. Representation layer and DB records and structure are converted as well.

Responsibilities:

  • Developing a set of rules for the translation

  • Support of Eclipse plug-in which provides a framework for running transformations

  • Implementation of WinForms application for easy running "Cobol → .NET" transformation
