Claims19
A method for identifying interfaces related to a service provider, the method comprising:
- publishing a description of a service provided by the service provider in a service registry that complies with Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) specifications and that can be selectively accessed by a remote service client;
- and
- receiving a call identifier as an explicit parameter in a call to request a service provided by the service provider, the call being generated at the remote service client and including functionality described in a Web Service Description Language (WSDL), the call identifier representing a version of the service provided by the service provider in accordance with a most recent access of the service registry by the service client.
A computer program product, tangibly embodied in a machine readable storage device, for identifying interfaces related to a service provider, the computer program product including instructions being operable to cause data processing apparatus to:
- publish a description of a service provided by the service provider in a service registry that complies with Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) specifications and that can be selectively accessed by a remote service client;
- and
- use a call identifier as an explicit parameter in a call to the service provider that is generated at the remote service client, that requests a service provided by the service provider and that includes functionality described in a Web Service Description Language (WSDL), the call identifier representing a version of a service provided by the service provider in accordance with a most recent access of the service registry by the service client.
A system for identifying interfaces related to a service provider, the system comprising a computing device configured to publish a description of a service provided by the service provider in a service registry that complies with Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) specifications and that can be selectively accessed by a remote service client, and use a call identifier as a parameter in a call to the service provider that is generated at the remote service client, that requests a service provided by the service provider, and that includes functionality described in a Web Service Description Language (WSDL), the call identifier representing a version of a service provided by the service provider in accordance with a most recent access of the service registry by the service client.

- verifying the call identifier;
- and
- initiating a corrective action if the call identifier does not correspond to a current version of the service provided by the service provider.
