How can I convert my GUI made using GUIDE into a web application in MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b)?

I have created a GUI using GUIDE for Linux and Windows systems. Further, I have deployed different versions of this program using MATLAB Compiler to multiple users.

Now I need to have the GUI in a web application to deploy the updates without having to install multiple copies of changes to the users.

The ability to deploy MATLAB GUIs in a web application is not available in MATLAB Builder for JA.

To work around this issue, try one of the following options:

1. Create a Java GUI

- Create your GUI in Java, using Java Servlet/ JSP, or create a Java applet.

- Use Builder for JA to compile your MATLAB files into a Java component.

- Incorporate the generated component into your Java GUI and deploy it using a webserver like Tomcat.

2. Create a .NET GUI

- Create a a GUI in .NET, using one of the .NET languages.

- Use Builder for NE to create a .NET component of your MATLAB files.

- Incorporate the generated assembly into your .NET application and deploy it using a webserver like IIS.

3. Call MATLAB functions via CGI.

Starting with R2018a you can deploy apps built with App Designer as web apps using MATLAB Compiler. You can convert your GUIDE based apps to App Designer using the GUIDE to App Designer Migration Tool.
