Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a mechanism for the dynamic discovery and selection of web service implementations at runtime without explicit client control. With the mechanism of the present invention, service requests are received from clients and a portType or other type identifier of operations that need to be supported by a service implementation is identified. A discovery mechanism is invoked for querying service information sources to identify candidates from these sources that support the portType or operations identified. A list of these candidates is compiled and a selection mechanism is used to select a candidate from the compiled list. The selected candidate is then used to generate a service object used by a client for accessing the actual service implementation.
