Abstract
A method and system for dynamically generating a semantically correct user interface (UI) panel for a service request and automatically mapping input data for service-oriented architecture-based system management applications. A document is received that includes semantic annotations specifying semantics of elements of a service request input message. During runtime, a UI panel is generated based on the semantics and by interpreting metadata generated by interpreting hints included in the document. Further, the semantic annotations may include a mapping definition of information technology (IT) resource selections. Based on the mapping definition, the IT resource selections are extracted from a registry and automatically mapped to a UI input element in a UI panel. In response to selecting an IT resource from the UI panel, properties of the selected IT resource are automatically mapped to an element of the service request input message according to the semantic annotations.
