Abstract: A method and system for directly mapping web services interfaces and Java interfaces. In one embodiment, default mapping information is identified, the default mapping information having default interface mapping information and default schema to Java mapping information. The default mapping information is then update and a mapping descriptor having the updated mapping information is generated. The updated information contains updated interface mapping information and updated schema to Java mapping information.

Abstract: A method is described that involves processing a Web services message within an object oriented runtime environment. The processing itself involves executing a plurality of protocols to support a Web service that the message pertains to. Each one of the protocols perform one or more operations that contribute to a different part of the processing. The executing is hibernated by storing state information of the protocols externally from the protocols. The executing is resumed by loading the saved state information back into the protocols. The executing includes one of the protocols performing the following: receiving from an object information retrieved from the message's header; and, providing at least a portion of the information to another protocol amongst the plurality of protocols.

Abstract: A method and system for generating schema to Java descriptors. In one embodiment, a second object having customized schema to Java mapping information is created. The second object is placed within a first object. Via the first object, schema to Java generation is initiated.

Abstract: A method and system for directly mapping web services interfaces and Java interfaces. In one embodiment, default mapping information is identified, the default mapping information having default interface mapping information and default schema to Java mapping information. The default mapping information is then update and a mapping descriptor having the updated mapping information is generated. The updated information contains updated interface mapping information and updated schema to Java mapping information.

Abstract: A method and system for directly mapping web services interfaces and Java interfaces. In one embodiment, a web services mapping is generated from a common mapping descriptor associated with a web services interface; updated mapping information is received, and, based on the web services mapping and the updated mapping information, a customized interface comprising a common web services and web services client interface is generated.

Abstract: A method and system for creating a common model. In one embodiment, a web services model and a web service client model are identified. The web services and web services client models are then unified to create a common model.

Abstract: A system and method are provided to generate a dynamic web services interface model. In one embodiment, description content of a Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) file is identified. A first metadata and a second metadata are extracted from the description content. A dynamic web services interface model is created via the first metadata and the second metadata.

Abstract: A method is described that involves comprising, during runtime in an object-oriented environment, invoking, from an object, a first Web services endpoint method to process a first message by: invoking the first Web services endpoint method through a first interface according to an endpoint method invocation format, where, the first Web services endpoint method is implemented with a first component that is provided one or more services by a first container. The method also involves invoking, from the object, a second Web services endpoint method to process a second message by: invoking the second Web services endpoint method through a second interface according to the endpoint method invocation format. The second Web services endpoint method is implemented with a second component that is provided one or more services by a second container. The first and second containers have respective interfaces that are different.

Abstract: A method is described that involves processing a Web services message within an object oriented runtime environment. The processing involves executing a plurality of protocols to support a Web service that the message pertains to. Each one of the protocols perform one or more operations that contribute to a different part of the processing. The executing involves a first of the protocols receiving from an object WS Addressing information retrieved from the message's header. The executing also involves the first protocol providing the WS Addressing information to a second of the protocols. The executing also involves the second protocol providing the WS Addressing information to at least one of: a third protocol of the protocols; a component that performs an endpoint method of said Web service; software that identifies a new transport level destination address for said message.

Abstract: A system and method for the lifecycle of a protocol processing a message is described. In one embodiment, in a stateless object-oriented runtime environment, an instance of a reliable messaging protocol is used to process a message. The processing including receiving a message and performing operations based on said message.

Abstract: A method and system for generating schema to Java™ mapping description. In one embodiment, default schema to Java™ mapping information is customized into customized schema to Java™ mapping information. An object having the customized mapping information is created, and schema to Java™ generation is initialized via the object.

Abstract: A method and system for directly mapping web services interfaces and Java interfaces. In one embodiment, a web services mapping is generated from a common mapping descriptor associated with a web services interface; updated mapping information is received, and, based on the web services mapping and the updated mapping information, a customized interface comprising a common web services and web services client interface is generated.

Abstract: A method and system for container-based configuration and administration. In one embodiment, a configuration file is created at a first location. The configuration file is duplicated into a duplicate configuration file, which is placed at a second location.

Abstract: A system and method for the lifecycle of a protocol processing a message is described. In one embodiment, a stateless protocol instance is registered with an objected-oriented environment and a stateless protocol context instance is invoked to process a message.

Abstract: A system and method are provided to generate a dynamic web services invocation model. In one embodiment, a first metadata and a second metadata are extracted from description content of a Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) file. The first metadata and the second metadata are inspected. A web service is invoked via a dynamic web services invocation model.
