Abstract
A federation participant in communication with other participants of a federation according to a federation protocol is described. The web service participant includes business logic and a security provider. The business logic implements a web service consumer (WSC) or a web service provider (WSP) business logic. The business logic is configured to generate an outgoing message for transmission to a recipient and receive an incoming message from the recipient, the recipient being a WSP if the business logic is a WSC business logic and a WSC if the business logic is a WSP business logic. The security provider is configured to receive the generated messages and apply header information to the outgoing message according to the federation protocol to form a modified outgoing message. The security provider then transmits the modified outgoing message to the recipient. Methods of operation for the WSC and WSP are also described.
