1. A computer-implemented method of calling a web service interface, the method comprising:
- deriving, by a computing device, the web service interface from a user interface form, the web service interface making an application on an application server available using web services description language; and
sending, by a computing device, a service request via the web service interface to the available application, the web service interface defininga web service field, the web service field derived from user interface form metadata, the user interface form metadata specifying a field within a database table shown on the user interface form, anda web service method, the web service method related to an operation of the user interface form.

Abstract
A system and method of deriving web service interfaces from form and table metadata is disclosed. The method uses a discovery subsystem to discover services that are available on an application server, retrieves the metadata descriptions of the services on the application server and uses the services discovered and the metadata descriptions to create web services interfaces such that the service is available using web services description language.
