Abstract:
1. A system to facilitate the definition of a composite web service configured to support application flow and processing using a plurality of mainframe applications via a single simple object access protocol request, the composite web service providing access to multiple applications in a single web service by combining functions from the plurality of mainframe applications, the system comprising a system data store and a system processor and further comprising: a modeler configured to interface with a user to enable the user to generate an application flow, the modeler including a graphical interface for building the application flow and data movements between the plurality of mainframe applications, the modeler creating one or more flow rules, generated as instructions in web services description language, to build the composite web service, a manager configured to parse the flow rules to generate a programmatic implementation of the composite web service for execution on a web services server, wherein the modeler is configured to utilize the debugger to verify the one or more flow rules of the composite web service by checking properties and connections between the nodes to ensure the flow rules are complete and valid prior to the modeler deploying the flow rules to the manager for generation of the programmatic implementation of the composite web service for execution on the web services server.
