Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to Web services construction and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for message-oriented Web services construction. A method for the message oriented construction of a Web service can include graphically assembling a selection of message flow primitives defining an operation for a Web service, interconnecting selected ones of the message flow primitives to represent a flow of messages from one interconnected message flow primitive to another interconnected message flow primitive, and generating Web service logic from the selection of message flow primitives. The method further can include interpreting or executing the Web service logic in response to receiving a request to invoke the Web service.

Abstract: An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented process for selective delta validation of a shared artifact receives a notification associated with a shared artifact, determines whether a unique key exists for the shared artifact in a symbol data structure, and responsive to a determination that the unique key exists, determines whether an update from an external source occurred. Responsive to a determination that the update occurred from an external source, receives a timestamp associated with the unique key from the symbol data structure to form a received timestamp, determines whether the received timestamp is prior to a last modification time, and responsive to a determination that the received timestamp is prior to the last modification time, performs a delta validation of the shared artifact.
