Abstract
A system and method for creating a metadata endpoint for a generic data service provided by a first Service Oriented Environment (SOE) is disclosed. The first SOE is an SOE in which a process that hosts the runtime environment of the data service normally exposes a data endpoint for the data service but does not normally expose a metadata endpoint for the data service. In accordance with one embodiment, the metadata endpoint is created as part of a separate process than the process that exposes the data endpoint. The system and method advantageously enables the data service of the first SOE to be utilized by data services in a second SOE in which both a data endpoint and a metadata endpoint are normally exposed for a data service.
