Abstract

A Web service status management service is provided independently of processing nodes related to a Web service case. Information for uniquely identifying the status management service is added to messages transmitted and received between the processing nodes. Communication between each of the processing nodes and the status management service makes it possible for the status management service to record the status condition of a specific Web service case. Then, according to the recorded status condition, a notification for cancellation of the case can be directly transmitted to the processing nodes related to the specific Web service case.
