Abstract
A Web Services availability cache is part of a computer system, such as an enterprise system of a business or organization. The availability cache is populated with information from Web Services communicatively connected to the computer system by a network connection. In one embodiment, the availability cache is populated based on each request handled by a server process associated with the availability cache. A server receives a request from a client having an application dependent upon information from the Web Service. The server sends the request to the Web Service and stores returned information in the availability cache. Also, the server sends the returned information to the client, which initiated to request. Once the cache is populated, the server handles subsequent requests for information from the client by using the Web Service if it is available or by using the availability cache if the Web Service is not available.
