System and method for converting a schema based synchronous service to a schema based asynchronous service

摘要

A system and method for converting a schema based synchronous service to a schema based asynchronous service. The asynchronous service for implementing on a server configured for communication with a respective client over a network. The system and method comprising a subscription module for identifying a port type with each notification method added to a description of the synchronous service and for associating a subscription operation with the identified port type. The system and method can also include an artifact module for generating at least one conversion artifact related to the added notification method, the conversion artifact configured for use by a developer to assist in developing the supporting clients of the asynchronous service as well as the asynchronous service itself. The system and method can also include an integration module for combining the notification methods and subscription operations and conversion artifacts to produce a description of the asynchronous service. The developer uses the asynchronous service description for generating a service implementation of the schema based asynchronous service to include appropriate business logic for subsequent installation in the server as an asynchronous service interface.
