A significant effort is required to create identical database applications for more than one web application platform. A change in application requirements can also force the change of platforms. A feature of current application building tools is to allow the modification of one form at a time. This results in large number of person-hours necessary to change an application with a large number of forms. Working with one form at a time also denies the application developer the ability to check for consequences of the change in the single form on the whole application. The problems being tackled in this thesis are: the large number of person-hours necessary to write identical applications for multiple web application platforms as a result of demand or due to a change in application requirement; the large number of person-hours necessary for changing an application one form at a time due to application development tool limitations; the inability to find out the consequences of a change in a form has on the whole application. Various academic and industrial approaches to the above problem, with respect to application development tools and application and user interface representation, were investigated to aid in the specification of a new tool. AutoForms, a tool to enable rapid development of formbased database interface applications, is proposed to resolve these issues. This tool uses a text and XML based application specification to generate applications for multiple platforms. A static checker is used to validate the whole application after a form has been changed. The results of this thesis can be summarized as follows: a XML representation for an application framework which includes database schema and user interfaces; a prototype for converting the XML representation to a web application platform, namely Java Server Pages (JSP). The results show that the approach being taken is the correct one to aid in the alleviation of consequences of the problems at hand.
