Locating service endpoints from a service registry

A computer program product for operating a service registry in a service oriented architecture system and managing a service within the system, the computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage mediums having program code embodied therewith, the program code comprising the programming instructions for:

• receiving, by the service registry, a request for a service from a service requester in the environment, wherein the service requester and the service registry are connected via a network, wherein the service registry stores a plurality of service documents and allows access to the service documents and corresponding services;
• searching the service registry for a service endpoint associated with the service request;
• in response to not locating the service endpoint in the service registry but locating a service provider associated with the requested service, requesting the service endpoint from the located service provider, wherein the located service provider sets up service, wherein the located service provider associates the set up service with the service endpoint;
• receiving the requested service endpoint;
• and
• registering the requested service endpoint, wherein the service endpoint is used to interact with the located service provider to control the service,
• wherein the service is provided to the service requester by the located service provider in response to receiving the service request at the service endpoint thereby allowing the service requester to receive a desired quality of service and not experience a delay or difference in quality of service, wherein the service endpoint is provided to the located service provider by the service requester who received the service endpoint from the service registry or the service endpoint is provided to the located service provider by a resource provider connected to the service registry.

A system, comprising:

• a memory for storing a computer program for operating a service registry in a service oriented architecture and managing a service within the service oriented architecture;
• and
• a processor connected to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the program instructions of the computer program comprising:
• receiving, by the service registry, a request for a service from a service requester in the environment, wherein the service requester and the service registry are connected via a network, wherein the service registry stores a plurality of service documents and allows access to the service documents and corresponding services;
• searching the service registry for a service endpoint associated with the service request;
• in response to not locating the service endpoint in the service registry but locating a service provider associated with the requested service, requesting the service endpoint from the located service provider, wherein the located service provider sets up service, wherein the located service provider associates the set up service with the service endpoint;
• receiving the requested service endpoint;
• and
• registering the requested service endpoint, wherein the service endpoint is used to interact with the located service provider to control the service,
• wherein the service is provided to the service requester by the located service provider in response to receiving from the service requester the service request at the service endpoint thereby allowing the service requester to receive a desired quality of service and not experience a delay or difference in quality of service, wherein the service endpoint is provided to the located service provider by the service requester who received the service endpoint from the service registry or the service endpoint is provided to the located service provider by a resource provider connected to the service registry.
