A common trend in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is to consider Information Systems exposing software as services. This current approach is not only applied to new software developments, but also it is related to the maintenance of legacy systems. Nowadays, a cornerstone of Information Systems are relational databases, which constitute meaningful sources of services. These services can provide database's information in SOA scenarios. This paper presents a reengineering process to recover and implement Web Services in automatic manner from relational databases. This process follows the ADM approach (Architecture-Driven Modernization). In this paper authors present a case study that has been carried out using a tool built to support the process. This tool is used to generate a set of Web Services which are integrated into a web development allowing to modernise the legacy database in a SOA …
