1. A method for interfacing between a caller application and a service module, said method comprising:

  • receiving, by a processor of a computer system, a request for performing a transaction from the caller application, wherein the request comprises at least one caller application attribute describing the request;

    subsequent to said receiving, said processor building a service module data structure pursuant to the received request, wherein the service module data structure comprises a generic service document and at least one service module attribute, wherein the service module uses only the service module data structure such that the service module need not manipulate the at least one caller application attribute in performing the transaction;

    subsequent to said building, said processor storing each service module attribute of the at least one service module attribute in a relational table of the service module data structure;

    subsequent to said storing, said processor servicing the request within the service module data structure, wherein said servicing results in instantiating the generic service document; and

    subsequent to said servicing, said processor returning the generic service document to the caller application;

    said service module being executed by the processor to perform said receiving the request, said building the service module data structure, said storing each service module attribute, said servicing the request, and said returning the generic service document;

    said servicing comprising prior to said returning the generic service document;

    performing the transaction;

    subsequent to said performing the transaction, retrieving each mapping of at least one mapping in a mapping table of the service module data structure; and

    subsequent to said retrieving, reloading each container of at least one container from the relational table into respective containers of the generic service document according to each retrieved mapping, wherein a first container of the at least one container is pursuant to a category and a level of a first service module attribute that is associated with the first container.
