Abstract

A system, method and media for a service oriented architecture. This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures and the claims.

Claims

1. A method for processing messages for a service proxy, comprising:

conveying a message along a first path in a message processing graph wherein the first path includes at least one message processing node;

publishing the message to at least one recipient; and

communicating the message to a destination wherein the destination is one of;

another service proxy and a service.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the at least one recipient is fixed.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

selecting the at least one recipient based on content in the message.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the selecting includes:

dynamically evaluating one or more expressions.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein:

a recipient is one of;

another service proxy, a service and a process.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

performing an outbound transformation on the message before communicating it to the destination.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

accepting a second message from the destination; and

performing an inbound transformation on the second message.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein:

a message processing node in the at least one message processing node can refer to one or more other message processing nodes in the at least one message processing node.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the publishing occurs as part of the conveying.

10. A machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon to cause a system to:

convey a message along a first path in a message processing graph wherein the first path includes at least one message processing node;

publish the message to at least one recipient; and

communicate the message to a destination wherein the destination is one of;

another service proxy and a service.

11. A service proxy for processing messages, comprising:

a message processing graph configured to convey a message along a first path in wherein the first path includes at least one message processing node;

a publishing component coupled to the message processing graph and configured to publish the message to at least one recipient; and

a first component coupled to the message processing graph and configured to communicate the message to the destination wherein the destination is one of;

another service proxy and a service.

12. The service proxy of claim 11 wherein:

the at least one recipient is fixed.

13. The service proxy of claim 11, wherein:

the publishing component is capable of selecting the at least one recipient based on content in the message.

14. The method of claim 13 wherein the selecting includes:

dynamically evaluating one or more expressions.

15. The service proxy of claim 11 wherein:

a recipient is one of;

another service proxy, a service and a process.

16. The service proxy of claim 11, further comprising:

a second component configured to perform an outbound transformation on the message before communicating it to the destination.

17. The service proxy of claim 11, further comprising:

a second component configured to accept a second message from the destination.

18. The service proxy of claim 11 wherein:

a message processing node in the at least one message processing node can refer to one or more other message processing nodes in the at least one message processing node.

19. The service proxy of claim 11 wherein:

the publishing component is invoked by a message processing node in the at least one message processing node.
