Patent ID: 8516111

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for refactoring a network application, comprising: monitoring, by operation of one or more computer processors, a first network application, wherein the first network application includes at least one client-side component configured to interact with at least one server-side component, wherein the monitoring includes: intercepting a request sent from the client side component to the server side component, and analyzing the intercepted request to classify a request type and to determine a user-interface element that generated the request; passing the request to the server side component, wherein the server-side component is configured to store data included in the request persistently; profiling the first network application, wherein a profile is generated based on monitored interactions between the client-side component and the server-side component; and refactoring the first network application based on the profile, wherein the refactoring comprises: replacing the at least one server-side component with a refactored server-side component configured to interact with a refactored client-side component by responding to requests for portions of an interface presented by the network application, and replacing the at least one client-side component with the refactored client-side component, wherein the refactored client-side component is configured to update the portions of the interface presented by the network application with data supplied by the client-side component.
