Abstract

Techniques for mapping of messages includes receiving, from a first web service, a message comprising one or more operations in a first format; identifying a mapping interface that is based on the first web service, the mapping interface comprising one or more mappings for each of the operations of the message; identifying a second web service that is associated with the identified mapping interface; mapping the message to the second web service such that the one or more operations are in a second format associated with the second web service; and assigning a logical port connection to the second web service.
