Abstract

A method for managing a web service client update without recompiling or redeploying of the client code includes the following steps or acts of: receiving a request for the web service from a subscribed client; transmitting the request to the web service; receiving notification of the web service update from a service provider or registry or some other means; parsing the notification and retrieving parameters describing the web service update; marshalling the parameters; determining whether the new web service update is compatible with the current web service invoked by the client application; updating the local service proxy instance with the marshaled parameters if the new web service update is compatible with the current web service invoked by the client application; and transmitting a notification if the web service update is not compatible with the current web service invoked by the client application.
