How many hours of work would be required to convert 63,000 lines of ASP scripts to Java (MVC architecture)?

We have an existing ASP/VBScript application consisting of about 500 files containing 63,000 lines of script. We need to convert this application to Java Enterprise technology in an MVC architecture, using Struts. How much effort might this require, like hours per script or hours per line of code, to convert to Java?

Reply:converting programming code is not as easy as converting from english to german or spanish or anyother language.





which means you have to also take care of logic. few things that can be done in ASP may not be possible in JAVA so you will have to use other tricks. Few logics will require a lot of time to undersand and may be it may not work in JAVA easily.





63K lines, 500 files is huge......... I will say it will take 60-70% time compared to the time required to do the project from scrach....





exact number of time required will require me to take a close look at the complication level and other details.
