Abstract
Using a WSDL document to exchange an interface definition for back-end business logic includes automatically mapping various elements of the WSDL document to corresponding XQuery elements to generate an XQuery interface definition “skeleton”. From such an XQuery interface skeleton, an XQuery statement can be generated by filling in the body of the function that implements the logic. The XQuery statement serves as an interface definition for an interface to the function. Furthermore, at runtime a Web Service request that is based on the WSDL document can be translated into an XQuery call into an XQuery function that implements the logic defined in the WSDL document. From there, results are obtained from the XQuery function, translated into the appropriate return format defined in the WSDL, and returned.
