ANSIFORM will decompile your existing VPLUS formsfile.  The form is decompiled into three separate files:

Form Presentation - Goes to whatever you desire -  Java Applet, JSP, CORBA...

Form Field Information - Field and placement information is placed into a standard XML file.

Processing Specifications - Processing specs are read and placed into Java classes.

ANSI-Studio is a GUI IDE that takes the output from ANSIFORM to create a migration project where you identify and integrate the  presentation, business logic and back end process (Enterprise Information System -EIS) . 

The result is a migrated VPLUS application that can be automatically deployed to any J2EE application server and run its associated COBOL application on either HP e3000s or MicroFocus COBOL running under Unix.. 

By taking the output generated by ANSIFORM and importing it into ANSI-Studio, you can create a migration project and deploy the application to an application server (ANSI-Web, WebLogic, WebSphere, Orion ....) 

On the application server side, new transformed VPLUS forms (JSP, Java Applets, Servlets, etc...) interact with pooled V+Adapters (Resource Adapters) via the Common Client Interface (part of the new J2EE Connector Architecture) to the back-end COBOL applications running under MPE/iX or Unix.
