Abstract
In order to achieve location transparency and routing slip extensibility, a system and a method for orchestrating a web service using Business Process Execution Language are disclosed. The method includes: receiving a message, wherein the message comprises an address identifying an extension element; determining, from the address, a location of the extension element identified by the address; responsive to determining the location of the extension element, directing the message to an appropriate location; and storing the message in a computer readable storage medium.
Claims24
A system for orchestrating web services comprising:
- means, including one or more processors, for receiving an input message by a processor executable service of the code;
- means, including one or more processors, for orchestrating web service requests;
- means, including one or more processors, for utilizing an extension element whose address is identified in the input message, wherein the extension element implements computer executable logic that receives the input message that corresponds to a web service description language definition of the extension element;
- means, including one or more processors, for determining, based on the address identifying the extension element included in the received input message, a location of the extension element;
- and
- means, including one or more processors, for directing a normalized message to the location of the extension element for processing by the logic of the extension element, responsive to determining the location of the extension element.
A system for providing location extensibility for a business process execution language, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a non-transitory computer readable medium, coupled to the one or more processors, storing code executable by the one or more processors that configures the system into a machine that comprises:
- a business process execution language service for processing messages, orchestrating web service requests, and utilizing an extension element whose address is identified in at least one of the messages, wherein the extension element implements computer executable logic that receives the input message that corresponds to a web service description language definition of the extension element;
- a resolver for providing a mapping from the address for the extension element to a location of the extension element;
- and
- a container for using the resolver to process the at least one of the messages for directing the processed message to the location of the extension element for processing by the extension element, wherein the container coupled to interact with the resolver and the business process execution language service.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions, the instructions when executed by one or more processors that configures a computer system that includes the one or more processors into a machine to:
- receive an input message by a processor executable service of the code, and the processor executable service orchestrates web service requests and utilizes an extension element whose address is identified in the input message, wherein the extension element implements computer executable logic that receives the input message that corresponds to a web service description language definition of the extension element;
- determine, based on the address identifying the extension element included in the received input message, a location of the extension element;
- and
- responsive to determining the location of the extension element, direct a normalized message to the location of the extension element for processing by the logic of the extension element.
