  • Apparatus and method for web service message correlation
    Patent number: 7743150
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for correlating web service messages includes operating an autonomous software agent. This agent can detect a correlation key of a message, and then associate the message with the detected correlation key while a transaction is pending. During the transaction, the message can be accessed to retrieve information. In another embodiment, the method includes further operating said autonomous software agent to acquire a subset of rules governing execution of the transaction. The agent can be configured to intercept a noncompliant message associated with the correlation key. If it does, the agent can modify the noncompliant message to comply the said subset of rules.

  • Apparatus and method for content and context processing of web service traffic
    Patent number: 7549153
    Abstract: A method of supplementing the operations performed by a web service includes operating an autonomous software agent. The autonomous software agent receives a request directed to a web service and identifies a web service input operation associated with the request. The web service input operation is associated with a set of input actions. The input actions are executed prior to directing the request to web service. The autonomous software agent may also receive a response from the web service. A web service output operation associated with the response is identified. The web service output operation is associated with a set of output actions. The output actions are executed prior to directing the response to a client.
