Abstract
A Web services access management system which enables loosely coupled Web services can include a servlet configured to receive incoming request messages to access business logic and a mapping table associating different ones of the request messages with different business logic. Mapping logic can be disposed between the servlet and the business logic and configured to route at least part of the incoming request messages to selected ones of the business logic according to the mapping table. Finally, the system can include a response builder configured to build responses with data produced by the business logic responsive to processing incoming request messages routed by the mapping logic. In this regard, changes to the mapping logic can remain transparent to clients transmitting request messages and the business logic servicing the requests.
