More Information
Summary:The present invention provides a mechanism that allows an administrative event to trigger or cause the generation of a dynamic web service during initialization of legacy application components. Similar to other types of static tooling approaches, the dynamic approach-as supported herein-uses available metadata describing an interface for communicating with legacy components. Rather than generating and manifesting the web service via tooling on a one time or occasional bases, however, example embodiments provide for the generation of the web service by the supporting infrastructure as a standard part of application initialization. Upon stopping the application, a termination sequence is provided that stops the corresponding dynamic web service and deletes the web service description used to generate the dynamic web service. Accordingly, every time the application is started the available metadata will need to be consulted and a consistent service will be built on-the-fly.
