Abstract
Provided is a method, system, and program for enabling access to a plurality of services. A plurality of service class implementations is provided for services from different vendors, wherein each service class implementation provides an implementation of methods and objects from a same abstract service class. A service object is constructed for one service in response to at least one called method from one of the service class implementations. The service object includes information on resources of the service. Method calls are received from one service class implementation requesting information on service resources for one named service. The requested information is accessed from the service object for the named service to return to the method call.
