12/246574

Inventors:

David D. Chen - Cary NC, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707793, 707756, 707803, 717162

Abstract:

A method, system and computer program product for identifying one or more niche services to combine into a common service, wherein the niche service is a part of a service oriented architecture (SOA). The extensible markup language (XML) schema of the one or more niche services is aggregated into a combined XML schema, wherein the combined XML schema is the XML schema of the common service. A web services description language (WSDL) of the one or more niche services are aggregated to establish a combined WSDL, wherein the combined WSDL is the WSDL of the common service. The common service is generated from the combined XML schema and the combined WSDL. The combined WSDL, utilized to identify the combined service, comprises a service provider URL, one or more service operations, and combined XML schema. The combined XML schema is associated with a common service request and a common service response. When the XML schema of the niche service is not equal with the combined XML schema, mediation is invoked.

Abstract:

A system, method, and computer program product for transmitting message traffic encapsulating a MQ network having a plurality of MQ clients coupled to a MQ queue via at least one MQ queue manager and at least one MQ proxy server coupled to the plurality of MQ clients. The at least one MQ proxy server retrieves a message from a first MQ client coupled thereto, evaluates the message content and forwards the message to the MQ queue via a designated MQ queue manager. If the destination MQ client is served by a second MQ proxy server the originating MQ proxy server notifies the second MQ proxy server coupled to the second MQ client. The second MQ proxy server retrieves the message from the MQ queue thru the designated MQ queue manager, evaluates the message content and forwards the message to the second MQ client. If the first MQ client and the second or destination MQ client are served by the same MQ proxy server, then the MQ proxy server will just retrieve the message from the MQ queue through the designated MQ queue manager and forward the message to the second MQ client.
