Apparatus, system, and method for soap access to data source procedures

An apparatus for web service access to a remote data source procedure, the apparatus comprising:

• a receive module configured to receive a web service request from a client, the web service request comprising a procedure call identifier and zero or more parameters;
• an identification module configured to identify the procedure call identifier within the web service request;
• a call module configured to create a procedure call to a data source procedure by way of an Application Program Interface (“API”), the data source procedure identified by the procedure call identifier without an explicit procedure call identifier mapping, the procedure call created at least in part by ordering parameters of the procedure call based on an order of the zero or more parameters in the web service request, the parameters of the procedure call ordered without using an explicit parameter mapping;
• and
• a response module configured to send a web service response to the client in response to receiving a response from the data source procedure, the web service response comprising information responsive to the procedure call.

A system for web service access to a remote data source procedure, the system comprising:

• a data source;
• a web server comprising at least one processor and a memory, the web server in communication with the data source and a client, the web server comprising a data source server configured with
• a receive module configured to receive a web service request from the client, the web service request comprising a procedure call identifier and zero or more parameters;
• an identification module configured to identify the procedure call identifier within the web service request;
• a call module configured to create a procedure call to a data source procedure of the data source by way of an Application Program Interface (“API”), the data source procedure identified by the procedure call identifier without an explicit procedure call identifier mapping, the procedure call created at least in part by ordering parameters of the procedure call based on an order of the zero or more parameters in the web service request, the parameters of the procedure call ordered without using an explicit parameter mapping;
• and
• a response module configured to send a web service response to the client in response to receiving a response from the data source, the web service response comprising information responsive to the procedure call.

A method for making a computer implemented process to enable web service access to a remote data source procedure, the method comprising:

• instantiating first computer instructions onto a computer readable medium, the first instructions configured to receive a web service request from a client, the web service request comprising a procedure call identifier and zero or more parameters;
• instantiating second computer instructions onto a computer readable medium, the second instructions configured to identify the procedure call identifier within the web service request;
• instantiating third computer instructions onto a computer readable medium, the third instructions configured to create a procedure call to a data source procedure accessible by way of an Application Program Interface (“API”), the data source procedure identified by the procedure call identifier without an explicit procedure call identifier mapping, the procedure call created at least in part by ordering parameters of the procedure call based on an order of the zero or more parameters in the web service request, the parameters of the procedure call ordered without using an explicit parameter mapping;
• and
• instantiating fourth computer instructions onto a computer readable medium, the fourth instructions configured to send a web service response to the client in response to receiving a response from the data source procedure, the web service response comprising information responsive to the procedure call.

A method for deploying a web access computer program for web service access to a remote data source procedure, the method comprising:

• determining customer requirements for data source access via a web server;
• and
• deploying a web access computer program, the web access computer program comprising
• receiving a web service request from a client, the web service request comprising a procedure call identifier and zero or more parameters;
• identifying the procedure call identifier within the web service request;
• creating a procedure call to a data source procedure accessible by way of an Application Program Interface (“API”), the data source procedure identified by the procedure call identifier without an explicit procedure call identifier mapping, the procedure call created at least in part by ordering parameters of the procedure call based on an order of the zero or more parameters in the web service request, the parameters of the procedure call ordered without using an explicit parameter mapping;
• and
• sending a web service response to the client in response to receiving a response from the data source procedure, the web service response comprising information responsive to the procedure call.
