FAQPage Schema
How do I capture views from a legacy JSP/Struts web application for modernization?▼

You can capture legacy JSP/Struts web application views by running Python scripts with Playwright to automate the browser, discover static and AJAX-loaded views, take screenshots, and record backend responses into a JSON file.

What is the best way to extract a source model from legacy JSP source code?▼

Extracting a source model from legacy JSP source code involves parsing the JSP files to discover all views and routes, creating a structural baseline for comparing against a modernized framework like React.

Does Playwright work for recording backend responses in legacy Struts applications?▼

Yes, Playwright works for recording backend responses in legacy Struts applications by automating the browser to intercept and log real backend responses during view capture, enabling later replay and verification.

Can I capture AJAX-loaded views from a legacy web app using browser automation?▼

Yes, you can capture AJAX-loaded views from a legacy web app using browser automation, as Playwright-based scripts are designed to capture all views including dynamic AJAX-loaded content alongside static routes.

What do I need to set up before capturing legacy JSP views with Playwright?▼

Before capturing legacy JSP views with Playwright, you need a Python environment with the required dependencies installed, including pypdf, pdfplumber, and pdf2image, along with access to the running legacy web application URL.
