Application migration to languages implementing tag fields

A computer system comprising:

• a processor;
• a computer readable medium coupled to the processor;
• and
• computer code, encoded in the computer readable medium, configured to cause the processor to:
• select a tag field-based view comprising one or more applets, and
• migrate a Cartesian coordinate-based view to a tag field-based view, wherein the computer code is configured to cause the processor to perform the migration by virtue of being configured to cause the processor to
• identify a first applet of the one or more applets, wherein
• the first applet comprises one or more controls,
• associate a first applet template with the first applet, wherein
• the first applet template comprises one or more characteristics of each of the one or more controls,
• link the first applet template to a corresponding first Cartesian view applet in the Cartesian coordinate-based view, wherein
• the first Cartesian view applet comprises a Cartesian view control,
• modify the Cartesian view control to produce a corresponding tag view control, wherein
• modifying the Cartesian view control matches characteristics of an associated control of the one or more controls in the first applet template, and
• map the corresponding tag view control to the tag field-based view.

An apparatus comprising:

• means for selecting a tag field-based view comprising one or more applets;
• and
• means for migrating a Cartesian coordinate-based view to the tag field-based view, wherein the means for migrating comprises
• means for identifying a first applet of the one or more applets, wherein the first applet is comprised of one or more controls,
• means for associating a first applet template with the first applet, wherein
• the first applet template comprises one or more characteristics of each of the one or more controls,
• means for linking the first applet template to a corresponding first Cartesian view applet in the Cartesian coordinate-based view, wherein
• the first Cartesian view applet comprises a Cartesian view control,
• means for modifying the Cartesian view control to produce a corresponding tag view control, wherein
• said modifying matches characteristics of an associated control of the one or more controls in the first applet template, and
• means for mapping the corresponding tag view control to the tag field-based view.

A computer program product, encoded in computer readable media, comprising:

• a first set of instructions, executable on a computer system, configured to select a tag field-based view comprising one or more applets;
• and
• a second set of instructions, executable on the computer system, configured to migrate a Cartesian coordinate-based view to a tag field-based view,
• wherein the second set of instructions comprises
• a third set of instructions, executable on the computer system, configured to identify a first applet of the one or more applets, wherein
• the first applet is comprised of one or more controls,
• a fourth set of instructions, executable on the computer system, configured to associate a first applet template with the first applet, wherein
• the first applet template comprises one or more characteristics of each of the one or more controls,
• a fifth set of instructions, executable on the computer system, configured to link the first applet template to a corresponding first Cartesian view applet in the Cartesian coordinate-based view, wherein
• the first Cartesian view applet comprises a Cartesian view control,
• a sixth set of instructions, executable on the computer system, configured to modify the Cartesian view control to produce a corresponding tag view control, wherein
• said modifying matches characteristics of an associated control of the one or more controls in the first applet template, and
• a seventh set of instructions, executable on the computer system, configured to map the corresponding tag view control to the tag field-based view.
