Telnet terminal simulation

Character-based user interface was replaced with a web-based GUI for a legacy application. Full telnet terminal emulation in Java Servlet according to standards (RFC-s). Used regular expressions and XSLT to transform text screens into HTML for the UI and SVG for reports in real-time (Java, Servlets, HTTP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, regular expressions, XML, XSLT, SVG, TCP/IP, Telnet).

Invoice created with XSLT transformation into SVG.
