Method and system for providing authentication schemes for web services

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a output device;
• an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) executing on the processor to:
• receive a selection of a first resource method, wherein the first resource method defines a first method for interacting with a first resource associated with a first web service;
• determine a first authentication scheme for the first resource method, wherein the first authentication scheme defines an authentication mechanism required during execution of the first resource method to enable interaction with the first resource;
• and
• generate first authentication code for the first resource method using the first authentication scheme,
• wherein the first authentication code is displayed on the output device, and
• wherein the first authentication code enables a user executing the first resource method to interact with the first resource.

A computer readable medium comprising executable instructions for generating authentication code for web service resources, wherein executable instructions comprise instructions to:

• obtain a first service definition defining a plurality of resources associated with first web service,
• obtain the first authentication scheme;
• generate a first resource model using the first service definition, wherein the first resource model comprises the plurality of resources, wherein each of the plurality of the resources is associated with a plurality of resource methods, wherein the first resource method is one of the plurality of resource methods;
• generate a menu comprising the plurality of resources in the first resource model, wherein each of the plurality of resources is presented with at least one of the plurality of resource methods;
• receive a selection of a first resource method, wherein the first resource method defines a first method for interacting with a first resource associated with a first web service;
• determine a first authentication scheme for the first resource method, wherein the first authentication scheme defines an authentication mechanism required during execution of the first resource method to enable interaction with the first resource;
• and
• generate first authentication code for the first resource method using the first authentication scheme,
• wherein the first authentication code enables a user executing the first resource method to interact with the first resource.
