Abstract

An aspect of the present invention includes a protocol for conveying data during an e-commerce session with a polymorphic response, comprising initiating a session with a message from a buyer application to a broker application and a session identifier assigned by the broker application; conducting the session between the buyer application and a supplier application; and concluding the session with a additional message which includes a schema identifier for the additional message, resolvable in a context of a system identifier; and a polymorphic response comprising a type and a version, wherein the polymorphic response includes additional data elements corresponding to values assigned to the type and version.

A method of facilitating brokered web services, including:

sending to an e-commerce routing hub a first request to start a supplier service session with a service identified by a unique name that is not a routing address;

conducting a message exchange with the service identified by the unique name;
to bring the message exchange to an end, sending the e-commerce routing hub a first service session end message and relying on the e-commerce routing hub to match the first service session end message with a second service session end message from the service identified by the unique name and to record results of the session, the results reported with the first and/or the second service session end message.
