  • Message oriented construction of web services
    Patent number: 9800475
    Abstract: A selection of graphical message flow primitives defined within the message flow builder that each graphically represent and define message-oriented logic of an operation for the Web service are graphically assembled. Each graphical message flow primitive is defined within the message flow builder as a representation of a unit of work usable to define message flow patterns of Web service operation flow types and each includes a Web service operational processing logic definition of the representation of the respective unit of work usable to generate executable Web service logic. Selected ones of the graphical message flow primitives are graphically interconnected to represent a flow of messages to create a message-oriented Web service definition. The executable Web service logic defined within the message flow builder by each one of the interconnected selected graphical message flow primitives within the created message-oriented Web service definition is generated to construct the Web service.
