Abstract

A system and method for generating WSDL files based on MFS-based IMS applications includes receiving an IMS message byte stream and translating the byte stream to an MFS XML document. An MFS WSDL file is generated from the MFS XML document. The MFS WSDL file can be published at a UDDI directory.

Claims

1. A computer program for generating MFS WSDL files from IMS MFS source files, comprising:

logic means for receiving an IMS message byte stream;

logic means for translating the IMS message byte stream to an MFS XML document; and

logic means for generating an MFS WSDL file from the MFS XML document.

2. The program of claim 2, wherein the IMS message byte stream is received via MFS.

3. The program of claim 2, wherein the IMS message byte stream is translated to the MFS XML document using an MFS XML adapter.

4. A computer program for generating MFS WSDL files from MFS IMS source files, comprising:

logic means for translating an IMS message byte stream to an MFS XML document; and

logic means for generating an MFS WSDL file from the MFS XML document.

5. The program of claim 4, further comprising:

logic means for publishing the MFS WSDL file with a UDDI directory.

6. The program of claim 4, wherein the IMS message byte stream is received via MFS.

7. The program of claim 6, wherein the IMS message byte stream is translated to the MFS XML document using an MFS XML adapter.

8. A method for publishing web services to a UDDI directory, comprising the acts of:

receiving at least one MFS WSDL file, the WSDL file being at least partially based on an MFS IMS source file.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising the act of:

publishing the MFS WSDL file with a UDDI directory.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the MFS WSDL file is generated based at least partially on an MFS XML document.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the MFS XML document is translated from an IMS message byte stream.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the IMS message byte stream is received via MFS.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the IMS message byte stream is translated to the MFS XML document using an MFS XML adapter.

14. A method for generating an MFS WSDL file from an MFS XML document, comprising the acts of:

receiving an IMS message byte stream;

translating the IMS message byte stream to an MFS XML document; and

generating an MFS WSDL file according to the MFS XML document.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising the act of

publishing the MFS WSDL file at a UDDI.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the IMS message byte stream is received via MFS.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the IMS message byte stream is translated to the XML document using an MFS XML adapter.

18. A method for generating an MFS WSDL file from an IMS message byte stream, comprising the acts of:

translating an IMS message byte stream to an XML document; and

generating an MFS WSDL file from the XML.

19. The method of claim 18, further comprising the act of:

publishing the MFS WSDL file to a UDDI directory.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the IMS message byte stream is received via MFS.

21. The method of claim 20, wherein the IMS message byte stream is translated to the XML document using an MFS XML adapter.
