Abstract:
The basic building blocks of SOA systems are web services. The domain specific language SOAL developed by the authors has a Java and C#-like syntax for describing web service interfaces. Beside the syntax a metamodel (SoaMM) is also defined. The paper introduces an extended version of both SOAL and SoaMM that supports WS-Policy specifications. The original WS-Policy standards specify huge XML descriptions that are too complex and low level for efficient service design. The metamodel presented provides a high abstraction level that is still strong enough for generating vendor-specific service configurations for WCF and major JAX-WS implementations.
