The Internet is an extremely rich source of online information andservices. However, complex client requests, involving and combiningseveral types of services, are difficult to handle without some formof support. This is particularly true in the case of electroniccommerce, where complex transactions may involve several independentgood providers, bankers, delivery services, etc. Hence the need for“brokering” services, whose offers combine in the best possible wayoffers coming from existing, specialized services publicly availableon the Net, in order to match customers‘ constraints. The Xpectframework for electronic commerce has been developed for thatpurpose. In this paper, we illustrate it through a case study in thecontext of distributed print-on-demand. We propose an architecture andimplementation of the case study based on CLF, a distributedapplication development tool relying on a rich object model andits corresponding coordination scripting facility.
