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;

selecting a route to a destination wherein the destination is one of;

another service proxy and a service; and

communicating the message to the destination.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the selecting is static.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the selecting is based on content in the message.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the selecting is dynamic.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the selecting includes:

dynamically evaluating one or more expressions.

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 route is secure.

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;

select a route to a destination wherein the destination is one of;

another service proxy and a service; and

communicate the message to the destination.

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 router message processing node in the at least one message processing node wherein the router message processing node is capable of selecting a route to a destination and wherein the destination is one of;

another service proxy and a service; and

a first component configured to communicate the message to the destination.

12. The service proxy of claim 11 wherein:

the selecting is static.

13. The service proxy of claim 11 wherein:

the selecting is based on content in the message.

14. The service proxy of claim 11 wherein:

the selecting is dynamic.

15. The service proxy of claim 11 wherein the selecting includes:

dynamically evaluating one or more expressions.

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 perform an inbound transformation on a message received 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 route is secure.
