Abstract
A system and method for describing and locating web services. The system may include a server and a proxy located at a front-end of the server. The server may have an associated Web Services Description Language (WSDL) that identifies web services on the server. The proxy may be structured to automatically construct a synthetic WSDL based on configuration metadata and the WSDL; and implement the synthetic WSDL to automatically mediate requests at the proxy to be appropriate for the WSDL at the server.
