Abstract

Web services have been enjoying great popularities in recent years. This paper addresses the issue of introducing web services to conventional middleware-based enterprise applications to facilitate inter-enterprise integration. StarWebService is presented as a framework to support serviceoriented integration by gracefully bridging the gap between web services and middleware. On the basis of a hierarchy resource model and runtime infrastructure, StarWebService enables not only exporting enterprise resources as web services but also importing web services as enterprise resources. It offers an economical and flexible way to provide and consume services for cross-organizational integration.
