• a data receiving unit for receiving data from a server;
• and
• the server, which comprises:
• a request receiving unit for receiving the URL;
• a tool providing unit for providing a code conversion tool to the client;
• an application drive unit for loading the desktop application;
• an interface extraction unit for extracting interface information of the loaded desktop application and wrapping the interface information to data in an interface descriptive language format;
• and
• a data transmitting unit for sending the interface descriptive language data wrapped by the interface extraction unit back to the client,
• wherein at the client, the interface descriptive language data received by the data receiving unit is parsed by utilizing the code conversion tool to generate relevant webpage elements, and the browser of the client displays the desktop application according to the generated webpage elements.
