Generating an integrated service

A system for generating an integrated service, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is capable of executing programmed instructions stored in the memory to:
• retrieve a web service from a web-service browser based on an input received from a user;
• extract a web service definition of the web service using a web service description language (WSDL) file associated with the web service;
• generate one or more proxy classes using the web service definition in the WSDL file;
• compile the one or more proxy classes to create an assembly file;
• enable the user to select a service method from the assembly file;
• identify one or more endpoints for the service method;
• convert the service method into a custom activity;
• generate a workflow file by building a workflow based on one or more predefined activities and the custom activity;
• and
• expose the one or more end points for hosting the workflow file as an integrated service.
