Method and system for directly mapping web services interfaces and java interfaces

Abstract

A method and system for directly mapping web services interfaces and Java interfaces. In one embodiment, default mapping information is identified, the default mapping information having default interface mapping information and default schema to Java mapping information. The default mapping information is then update and a mapping descriptor having the updated mapping information is generated. The updated information contains updated interface mapping information and updated schema to Java mapping information.

1 . A method, comprising: 
 identifying default web services mapping information;    updating the default web services mapping information; and    generating a web services mapping descriptor having the updated web services mapping information, the updated web services mapping information including direct mapping information for directly mapping web services interfaces and Java interfaces.    
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising directly mapping the web services interfaces and Java interfaces.  
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising initiating the default web services mapping information via an initiation module.  
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising generating a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) model having a web services description file including the web services mapping descriptor.  
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the web services mapping descriptor further comprises description having one or more of a message format, an Internet protocol, and an address that a web services client uses to communicate with web services.  
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the updating of the default web services mapping information comprises customizing the default web services mapping information into the updated web services mapping information via an administrative tool, the administrative tool including one or more of an SAP Visual Administrator, an SAP NetWeaver Administrator, an SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) wizard, a visual composition editor, a visual editor, a screen painter, a form designer, and a visual IDE.  
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising directly mapping the WSDL model with a WSDL interface mapping model and/or a schema to Java mapping model.  
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising generating a common model having direct mapped one or more of the WSDL model, the WSDL interface mapping model, the schema to Java mapping model, and a configuration model.  
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the common model resides at a Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) engine.  
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the default web services mapping information comprises Java Application Programming Interface-based Extensible Markup Language Remote Procedure Call (JAX-RPC)-based mapping information.  
   
   
       11 . A system, comprising: 
 an identification module to identify default web services mapping information;    an update module to update the default web services mapping information; and    a generator to generate a web services mapping descriptor having the updated web services mapping information, the updated web services mapping information including direct mapping information for directly mapping web services interfaces and Java interfaces.    
   
   
       12 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising a direct mapping module to directly map the web services interfaces and Java interfaces.  
   
   
       13 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising an initiation module to initiate the default web services mapping information.  
   
   
       14 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the generator is further to generate a WSDL model having a web services description file including the web services mapping descriptor.  
   
   
       15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the web services mapping descriptor further comprises description having one or more of a message format, an Internet protocol, and an address that a web services client uses to communicate with web services.  
   
   
       16 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising an administrative tool to update the default web services mapping information by customizing the default web services mapping information into the updated web services mapping information, the administrative tool including one or more of an SAP Visual Administrator, an SAP NetWeaver Administrator, an SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, an IDE wizard, a visual composition editor, a visual editor, a screen painter, a form designer, and a visual IDE.  
   
   
       17 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the direct mapping module is further to directly map the WSDL model with a WSDL interface mapping model and/or a schema to Java mapping model.  
   
   
       18 . A machine-readable medium having stored thereon data representing sets of instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to: 
 identify default web services mapping information;    update the default web services mapping information; and    generate a web services mapping descriptor having the updated web services mapping information, the updated web services mapping information including direct mapping information for directly mapping web services interfaces and Java interfaces.    
   
   
       19 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 18 , wherein the sets of instructions which, when executed by the machine, further cause the machine to directly map the web services interfaces and Java interfaces.  
   
   
       20 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 18 , wherein the sets of instructions which, when executed by the machine, further cause the machine to generate a WSDL model having a web services description file including the web services mapping descriptor.
