Abstract
A method, system and computer program for addressing a web service defined by a service definition document, such as a Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) document. The method includes, for example, generating a messaging destination for a service element, and each associated port element, of the WSDL document, and providing an invocation mechanism associated with each port destination for invoking the web service. A destination is an addressable location in the messaging configuration, such as a message queue.

A system for addressing a web service, the system comprising:
- a service definition document which describes the web service and includes at least one port element specifying an endpoint address of the web service;
- a mapping mechanism for mapping the port element to a messaging destination for the port;
- and
- an invocation mechanism associated with the port destination, for invoking the web service in response to the receipt of a message by the port destination.
