Abstract:
1. A method for message-oriented construction of a Web service, the method comprising: graphically assembling, via a computing device within a message flow builder, a selection of graphical message flow primitives that each graphically represent and define message-oriented logic of an operation for the Web service, where each graphical message flow primitive is defined as a unit of work usable to define message flow patterns of Web service operation flow types within the message flow builder and each graphical message flow primitive comprises a Web service operational processing logic definition of the respective unit of work, where graphically assembling the selection of the graphical message flow primitives comprises: determining a Web services operation type for the Web service, comprising: matching the Web services operation type to a pre-configured message flow pattern, comprising: rendering a visual representation of the message flow pattern; graphically interconnecting, in response to detection of user input selections, selected ones of the graphical message flow primitives to represent a flow of messages from one interconnected graphical message flow primitive to another interconnected graphical message flow primitive to create a message-oriented Web service definition; inserting, in response to detection of an additional user input selection, an additional graphical message flow primitive in the message flow pattern; connecting the inserted additional graphical message flow primitive to at least one other graphical message flow primitive in the message flow pattern; and generating executable Web service logic defined by each one of the interconnected selection of graphical message flow primitives within the created message-oriented Web service definition to construct the Web service.
