20100299677 | Article of manufacture for programmatically describing web service-driven applications - To programmatically describe the abstract behavior of a web-service driven application (WSDA), a class which is used to model an Interface Definition Language (IDL) extension component is provided. Nested within the modeled IDL extension component are subcomponents, each of which references an IDL component which describes a set of operations and message types exposed by the WSDA. To programmatically describe the concrete behavior of the WSDA, a class which is used to model an additional IDL extension component is provided. The additional IDL extension component describes an executable instance of the WSDA and is associated with the IDL extension component that programmatically describes the abstract behavior of the WSDA. Nested within the IDL extension component that describes the executable instance of the WSDA are subcomponents, each of which references an IDL component that describes an executable web service exposed by the WSDA. | 11-25-2010 |
