Abstract: A method and system for implementing WS-Policy is described. In one embodiment, the system includes an API that may be used to call one or more methods for processing a WS policy file. These methods are associated with one or more classes.

Abstract: A method and system for processing Web service messages within an object oriented runtime environment is described. In one embodiment, the method includes steps for invoking a single instance of a state-less protocol for processing inbound and outbound flows of Web services messages. After determining Web services messages have been received out of order, processing of the outbound flow of any remaining messages is suspended until a complete set of messages is received. The messages are rearranged into proper order before completing processing of the outbound flows of the remaining messages.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a Web services description file is described. In one embodiment, a visualizer process metadata from a configuration file and applies the metadata to a predefined template to generate a portion of a Web services description file. The configuration file stores metadata about a service provided by a Web service. The template file defines structure and syntax of a portion of a Web services description file.

Abstract: An Web service (WS) archive is described. The archive includes components that define and describe the deployable WS such as the implementation classes of the WS, the WSDL of the WS, and descriptors that provide more detail than what is described in a normal WSDL that are specific to the WS of the archive.

Abstract: A method and system for implementing Web service built-in endpoints is described. In one embodiment, the system includes a built-in endpoint manager interface and a built-in endpoint implementation container.

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 for Web services packaging. In one embodiment, binding and portType templates are created from an existing WSDL file. One or more of these templates are packaged into a Web services archive file.
