Abstract
A method of supplementing the operations performed by a web service includes operating an autonomous software agent. The autonomous software agent receives a request directed to a web service and identifies a web service input operation associated with the request. The web service input operation is associated with a set of input actions. The input actions are executed prior to directing the request to web service. The autonomous software agent may also receive a response from the web service. A web service output operation associated with the response is identified. The web service output operation is associated with a set of output actions. The output actions are executed prior to directing the response to a client.
