Abstract
Systems and techniques for operating a Web browser as if the Web browser were a Web service server with and without a business process engine. Data fields in a HTML Web page under naming conventions are mapped into tree-structured data fields of a XML document so that a response from the Web browser can be represented as an output of a Web Service server.
