Migrate Desktop Swing CRUD Client to Web Application Netbeans 7.2 Glassfish 3.1.2

What tools are available in Netbeans or elsewhere to migrate a simple Java CRUD client app to web app preserving at least a resemblance of the original design?

The desktop client app connects to EJB served by Glassfish.

Using Netbeans new project wizard, I generated the Web Service connecting it to the EJB service that serves the client app , and web service test page has most of the methods that I would need to call. Most of the methods work already, all that is missing is layout and some buttons.

All of the code is under one big enterprise project.

Basically, I do not want to recreate the original client app design from scratch again.

You might want to check out this webinar on creating web based apps (with the same purpose as your business swing app) with NetBeans and Glassfish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TompuzySD8

In this video we're using the open source Vaadin framework (Disclaimer: I am a developer on this project) for creating the UIs. The most relevant starting point for you would probably be https://vaadin.com/swing

You didn't mention why you're converting to a web app. If the only reason is so that your app is accessible from the web, then you can deploy your existing app via Java Web Start with little effort.
