Abstract
As supposed to the common hard coding method, the invention provides the ability to create a module/mechanism (a template) that produces code that may be utilized to create a web service. A template has a list of features, and a model (a run time model—RTM) and is utilized to create a model that generates an application or web service. An RTM declares the structure, functionality, and behavior of a web service application. Each feature can generate XML entities in a new RTM, and may obtain input to build an XML entity in a new RTM. Each feature may be processed sequentially and can modify any existing XML entities. Consequently, features can make changes to the entire existing application. In one embodiment, when a condition that may affect an application changes, the template may be utilized to regenerate the RTM to produce a new web service or XML document.
