  • System and method for harvesting metadata into a service metadata repository
    Patent number: 9171096
    Abstract: Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) engines and Enterprise Service Buses (ESBs) often connect to adapters to integrate backend packaged applications with a process flow by invoking web services using Java Connector Architecture (JCA) and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) bindings. The Web Service Description Language (WSDL) files for the web services that interact with the adapters can be introspected to harvest adapter integration and transformation information into a service metadata repository. This permits dependency and impact analysis to extend from services to adapters and transformations.
