A development model for architecting enterprise systems presents a service- oriented approach which leverages open standards to represent virtually all software assets as services including legacy applications, packaged applications. J2EE components or web services. This approach provides developers with a standard way of representing and interacting with parts of a business application without having to spend time working with unique interfaces and low-level APIs. Furthermore, individual business application components become building blocks that can be reused in developing other applications. Using i:he service-oriented approach to integration in accordance with the present invention reduces the complexity, cost, and risk of integration by providing a single, simple architectural framework based on Web Services in which to build, deploy, and manage application functionality. In one aspect, a services toolkit for an integrated development environment is introduced to facilitate development in accordance with the model.
