Port type agnostic proxy support for web services intermediates
First Claim
1. A method of port type agnostic proxy support for web services intermediaries, the method comprising:
- receiving in a web services intermediary a request for execution of a web services operation, wherein;
the web services intermediary includes a proxy, wherein no configuration data available to the proxy describes an endpoint of the target service and the requester submits request for operations in port types completely unknown to the intermediary; and
the request includes parametric information from which an endpoint for a target service that supports the operation is identified;
identifying, by the web services intermediary in dependence upon the parametric data, the endpoint for a target service that supports the operation;
creating, by the web services intermediary, a target service request for execution of the operation on the target service, further comprising;
composing a request in a data structure useful in a binding-neutral interface; and
calling the binding-neutral interface, passing the request as a call parameter; and
issuing, by the web services intermediary, the target service request to the target service.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and products are disclosed in which port type agnostic proxy support for web services intermediaries is typically provided by receiving in a web services intermediary a request for execution of a web services operation, wherein the request includes parametric information from which an endpoint for a target service that supports the operation can be identified; identifying, in dependence upon the parametric data, the endpoint for a target service that supports the operation; creating a target service request for execution of the operation on the target service; and issuing the target service request to the target service. Exemplary embodiments typically also include the return path of request-response processing; receiving in the intermediary a response from the target service; creating in the intermediary, in dependence upon the response from the target service, a response from the intermediary; and returning the response from the intermediary to the requesting client.
