Abstract
A method for the consistent control of policies assigned to objects of a service oriented architecture is disclosed. Each policy may include one or more assertions, and the method may include identifying one or more operational dependencies between at least two SOA objects, analyzing the assigned policies of the at least two SOA objects to determine any inconsistency, and issuing a warning to a user if an inconsistency has been determined.
Claims22
A method for controlling consistency of policies assigned to objects of a service oriented architecture (SOA), wherein each policy comprises one or more assertions, and wherein the method comprises:
- identifying one or more operational dependencies between at least two SOA objects;
- analyzing the assigned policies of the at least two SOA objects to determine any inconsistency;
- and
- issuing a warning to a user if an inconsistency has been determined.
A computer accessible memory medium storing program instructions for controlling consistency of policies assigned to objects of a service oriented architecture (SOA), wherein each policy comprises one or more assertions, and wherein the program instructions are executable to:
- identify one or more operational dependencies between at least two SOA objects;
- analyze the assigned policies of the at least two SOA objects to determine any inconsistency;
- and
- issue a warning to a user if an inconsistency has been determined.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory medium coupled to the processor, wherein the memory medium stores program instructions for controlling consistency of policies assigned to objects of a service oriented architecture (SOA), wherein each policy comprises one or more assertions, and wherein the program instructions are executable by the processor to:
- identify one or more operational dependencies between at least two SOA objects;
- analyze the assigned policies of the at least two SOA objects to determine any inconsistency;
- and
- issue a warning to a user if an inconsistency has been determined.
