Action Language for Foundational UML (ALF) web system

Is it possible to use ALF to model and generate simple information system/web app? Or is it better to use standards like IFML + some other technologies to model and generate it?

I don't think using ALF for developing business apps is a good idea. ALF is a quite low-level and complex (textual modeling) language that allows specifying classes and procedures (also called operations or activities) with more than 50(!) different names for different types of procedure steps (actions), including various kinds of state change actions and sending/receiving asynchroneous messages (called signals).

Its goal was not to capture higher-level business semantics.

However, you may want to try out Cloudfier, which is based on another, simpler textual UML modeling notation, as described in this blog post.
