Abstract

Techniques are provided for managing multiple Web services on a single device. The device includes device metadata and a service manager. Each Web service registers with the service manager. Registration includes providing service metadata to the service manager. The service manager may generate (e.g., at least some) service relationship data based on the service metadata. The service relationship data indicates (either explicitly or implicitly) a relationship (e.g., a dependency) between a first Web service of the multiple Web services and a second Web service. In response to one or more criteria being satisfied with respect to the first Web service, the service manager uses the service relationship data and/or the device metadata to determine that one or more actions should be initiated with respective to the second Web service.
