Abstract
Certain example embodiments relate to techniques for automatically deriving web service permissions based on XML structure permissions. A call for a web service operation is received from a client at a web service runtime engine. XML data objects from a database of XML data objects located on an XML server implicated by the called web service operation are identified. The XML data objects have corresponding XML data structures. Access permissions for the user for the identified XML data objects are retrieved from the XML server, the access permissions for the web service having been generated automatically from access permissions based on the XML data structures for corresponding XML data objects. The called web service operation is either permitted or prohibited based on a determination, at the web service runtime engine and based on the retrieved access permissions. Thus, data access requests are handled in the 'higher' web service layer.
