An Approach To Enable Replacement Of Soap Services And Rest Services In Lightweight Processes

In the last few years, several Web APIs implementing the REST principles were created. Process modellers often need to use both SOAP and REST services within a single process. In this paper we present our experience in using MicroWSMO for supporting dynamic replacement of SOAP and REST services inside a service composition, even in presence of syntactic mismatches between service interfaces. We also present a running prototype we implemented in order to apply our approach to lightweight processes execution.
