The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for providing a classification service. The method may receive a request to access a UDDI registry. The classification service may access metadata representing a classification system for the data stored in the UDDI registry. The classification service may provide the data stored in the UDDI registry in a format based on the access metadata. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

UDDI based classification system

A method and system for unifying configuration files. In one embodiment, a web services configuration file and a web services client configuration file are identified. The web services and web services client configuration files are unified to create a configuration file.

Method and system for unifying configuration descriptors

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for configuration domains for the configuration of web services and consumer proxies. In general, data characterizing one or more web services to activate is received and run-time configurations are caused to be generated for each of the web services and each of consumer proxies for the web services. The web services are from a provider system in a group of systems having a profile having one or more policies to be adhered to by the systems. The systems may include a consumer system and the provider system. The consumer system may have one or more consumer proxies to call the web services. The run-time configurations may include one or more settings derived from the policies of the profile.

Configuration domains for the configuration of web services and consumer proxies

Methods and systems to improve change description information dissemination are described. When an altered version of a distributed data processing service is deployed, information about the altered service is published in a service information registry. The published information includes a link to a natural-language description of the altered service.

System and method for publication of distributed data processing service changes

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for configuration of web services. In general, data is received characterizing web service calls for an application, a placeholder destination for the web service calls, and an identification of a system to be mapped to the placeholder; and a configuration is generated for the web service calls, where the configuration maps the placeholder destination to the system. The configuration may be a configuration of proxy objects to make the web service calls. Mapping the placeholder destination to the system may include generating a configuration including the system in lieu of the placeholder destination. Systems may be included in domains, where a security policy may be applied to systems in a domain.

Configuration of web services

According to one general aspect, a method may comprise identifying a provider application that is associated with a consumer application, from amongst a plurality of provider applications hosted on a provider machine. In various embodiments, the identification may be based at least in part upon the provider application's business identifier (ID). In various embodiments, each provider application includes at least one web service. In some embodiments, the plurality of provider applications includes a plurality of instantiations of at least one of the web service. In various embodiments, the method may also include transmitting a message to one of the web services of the identified provider application.

Business application address determination

Distributed data processing systems that provide services at two network addresses have their interfaces described in a published interface description document available at a Uniform Resource Locator ('URL'). The interface description of the second of the services replaces the interface description of the first of the services. Related methods, computer readable media, and systems to benefit from an embodiment of the invention are also described and claimed.

Method and apparatus for mapping an appropriate service version for a client

A method and system for creating a common model. In one embodiment, a web services model and a web service client model are identified. The web services and web services client models are then unified to create a common model.

Method and system for generating a web services meta model on the java stack

A method and apparatus for retrieval of computer service type metadata. An embodiment of a method includes receiving a request from a consumer for a computer service, the computer service including a type, with the type having a set of allowed values. The method further includes configuring a first connection for computer service metadata and providing the set of allowed values via the first connection. The method also provides for configuring a second connection for computer service access.

Retrieval of computer service type metadata

An application server may include a Web service client having a service endpoint interface. The service endpoint interface may expose a method of a Web service to the Web service client. The Web service client may also include a logical port to define a configuration of the service endpoint interface.

System and method for a web service client framework

Differences between two web services are identified and quantified by a set of parameters. Each parameter is drawn from a discrete set of values that describes an aspect of the difference. The set of parameters is provided to a client of the web service.

System and method for assessing web service compatibility

A method and system for container-based configuration and administration. In one embodiment, a configuration file is created at a first location. The configuration file is duplicated into a duplicate configuration file, which is placed at a second location.

Method and system for container-managed configuration and administration

Methods of filtering change notifications to remove irrelevant notifications and transmitting the remaining notifications to a subscriber are described and claimed. Systems and software to implement related methods are also described and claimed.
