Abstract

A computer-controlled method for a mobile application invoking a web service can include an application development framework (APPDF) mobile framework component creating an envelope for a request and passing the envelope to a transport component. The transport component can create a proxy for the envelope and a proxy for a connection based on an enforcement context. The transport component can stream the proxy envelope through the proxy connection to the web service.

Claims

1. A computer-controlled method for a mobile application invoking a web service, the method comprising:

an application development framework (APPDF) mobile framework component creating an envelope for a request;

the APPDF mobile framework component passing the envelope to a transport component;

the transport component creating a proxy for the envelope based on an enforcement context;

the transport component creating a proxy for a connection based on the enforcement context; and

the transport component streaming the proxy envelope through the proxy connection to the web service.

2. The computer-controlled method of claim 1, further comprising the transport component creating the connection through which the envelope will be sent.

3. The computer-controlled method of claim 1, further comprising the transport component using an agent to create the enforcement context.

4. The computer-controlled method of claim 1, wherein the transport component is created during an initialization process.

5. The computer-controlled method of claim 1, wherein the envelope is a kSOAP envelope component.

6. The computer-controlled method of claim 5, wherein the transport component is a kSOAP2 HTTP transport component.

7. The computer-controlled method of claim 6, wherein the connection is based on a kSOAP2 service connection.

8. The computer-controlled method of claim 7, wherein the proxy envelope is a WSM SOAP envelope proxy.

9. The computer-controlled method of claim 8, wherein the proxy connection is a WSM service connection proxy.

10. The computer-controlled method of claim 1, further comprising the mobile application initializing the APPDF mobile framework.

11. The computer-controlled method of claim 1, further comprising creating an APPDF Connection component for a SOAP web service.

12. The computer-controlled method of claim 11, wherein creating the APPDF Connection component comprises creating an instance of a kSOAP2 HTTP Transport component to call the web service.

13. The computer-controlled method of claim 11, wherein creating the APPDF Connection component comprises creating an instance of a WSM kSOAP2 Agent component to enforce policies attached to it.

14. A computer-controlled method for a mobile application invoking a RESTful web service, the method comprising, comprising:

an application development framework (APPDF) mobile framework component creating a connection through which a request will be sent;

the APPDF mobile framework component creating an enforcement context;

the APPDF mobile framework component creating a proxy for the connection based on the enforcement context; and

the APPDF mobile framework component streaming the request through the proxy connection to the web service.

15. The computer-controlled method of claim 14, wherein the connection is based on a Java ME HTTP connection.

16. The computer-controlled method of claim 14, wherein the proxy connection is a WSM HTTP connection proxy.

17. The computer-controlled method of claim 14, wherein the APPDF mobile framework component uses an agent to create the enforcement context.

18. The computer-controlled method of claim 14, further comprising the mobile application initializing the APPDF mobile framework.

19. The computer-controlled method of claim 14, further comprising creating an APPDF Connection component for a SOAP web service.

20. The computer-controlled method of claim 19, wherein creating the APPDF Connection component comprises creating an instance of a WSM HTTP Connection Agent component to enforce policies attached to it.
