Abstract
Modern software solutions for distributed applications show a strong need for fast and flexible integration of heterogeneous service technologies, as well as for the orchestration of traditional service-based business scenarios (e.g. SOAP or RPC) and REST-driven approaches. The fulfilment of these requirements in existing enterprise platforms is typically accomplished with parallel working components based on different technologies and APIs, resulting in architectural overhead and increased complexity. The WebComposition/DGS (Data Grid Service) aims at solving this issue with the help of a central service layer which specifies a common plug-in framework used to adapt concrete service protocols and which offers an easy-to-use interface for deploying new logic and services. This approach reduces development effort and overall costs thanks to its coherent and integrated DGS-compatible service architecture with automated support for several protocols.
