Patent ID: 7689668

Claim:
A method for transparent dynamic provision of a Web service, comprising: making a client system with a Web service client and, from the standpoint of the Web service client, a target Web service available on a remote system, wherein the remote system and the target Web service do not, themselves, take part in making the client system and the target Web service available on the remote system; making a remote provision server device available which provides a Web service program for the target Web service for downloading; intercepting, by a proxy server device, an original Web service request directed to the remote system such that the request is not forwarded to the target Web service, a load request being sent instead to the remote provision server device in order to download the Web service program to the client system, provided it is not yet available on at least one of the client system and a further system close to the client system; providing and initiating, via a load request of the proxy server device, the Web service program as a local Web service within the client system, provided that it is not yet available on the client system; and effecting a rerouting and adjustment of the original request on the local Web service via a new service request of the proxy server device.
