UTILIZING ABSTRACT DESCRIPTIONS TO GENERATE, EXCHANGE, AND CONFIGURE SERVICE AND CLIENT RUNTIMES

摘要

The present invention extends utilizing abstract descriptions to generate, exchange, and configure service and client runtimes. A computer system parses compiled code and potentially optional configuration information for implementing a service an d converts the compiled code and any configuration information into an abstract service description. The abstract service description can then be converted into code document object model and service configuration information or exported as metadata. A corresponding service runtime can be initiated by calling a service initializer included in the abstract service description. The code document object model and configuration information and/or metadata can be transferred to another computer system. The other computer system can utiliz e the code document object model and configuration information and/or import the metada ta to facilitate initialization of a compatible channel for communicating with the service runtime.
