Abstract: An apparatus and system are disclosed for implementing service qualifiers that define on-demand management requirements for a loosely coupled software service in a service component architecture (SCA) for an integration server by associating a service qualifier with one or more of an SCA service reference, an SCA wire, an SCA interface, or an SCA implementation based on an SCA component definition, requiring the integration server to augment an implementation execution for the SCA service to honor the service qualifier; and accepting user modification and definition of declarative service qualifiers. By allowing the association of service qualifiers with SCA service references, SCA wires, SCA interfaces, and SCA implementations, additional quality of service with which components are executed can be maintained.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture, wherein a client component including at least one client interface is provided. Also provided is a target component including at least one service interface, wherein the at least one client interface is capable of matching the at least one service interface. A service interface implementation corresponding to the at least one service interface is provided, wherein the service interface implementation is a dynamic service interface implementation. The dynamic service interface implementation is executed to allow access to the client component to a service provided by the target component.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for accessing enterprise information system (EIS) resources in a service component architecture (SCA) for an integration server by selectively binding a service import to a low-level EIS resource adapter (RA) resource of an EIS service provider in response to a declarative binding definition, selectively binding a service import to an EIS service of the EIS service provider in response to a declarative binding definition, and selectively binding a service import to one or more EIS resources through an EIS service mapping configured to transform a service request from the service component client to satisfy an interface pattern of the EIS service provider. By allowing access to resources at different levels and allowing mappings of resources, the requirements of service clients can be met.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program for generating asynchronous interfaces and methods from synchronous interfaces and methods receiving a synchronous interface to a target component having a synchronous method used by a client component to synchronously invoke the target component. An asynchronous interface is generated for the synchronous interface of the target component. An asynchronous method is generated for the generated asynchronous interface having arguments to invoke the target component, wherein the client calls the generated asynchronous method to cause an asynchronous execution of the synchronous method.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for implementing service qualifiers that define on-demand management requirements for a loosely coupled, platform independent software service in a service component architecture (SCA) for an integration server by associating a service qualifier with one or more of an SCA service reference, an SCA wire, an SCA interface, or an SCA implementation based on an SCA component definition, requiring the integration server to augment an implementation execution for the SCA service to honor the service qualifier; and accepting user modification and definition of declarative service qualifiers.

Abstract: A packaging algorithm for providing software applications having reduced footprints is presented. The algorithm determines the minimum required set of methods and classes from the development environment necessary for the application to run. The application is then packaged with only those necessary methods and classes. The resulting application has a reduced footprint which serves to reduce memory requirements needed to store the application and enhance performance of the application at run-time.

Abstract: A report is generated in an object oriented software environment. A report iterator and a data iterator must have communications there between. The report iterator includes a report group header, a report group body having at least one report field, and a report group footer. Dependency is created between the contents of the report fields and an attribute of the current object. As a result of the communications established, a plurality of objects are stepped through sequentially. The dependency system is signalled each time the current object has changed. Each time the current object has changed, a new value is sent to a report field in the report group body.
