Automatic Web Services Generation

This paper discusses the design and implementation of a Service Generator Toolkit (SGT) that allows web services researchers to easily create large numbers of web services. When developing a web services tool, such as a service broker, it is necessary to obtain a large collection of web services for testing and benchmarking purposes. Since it is difficult to manually create or collect a large number of web services, we chose to implement a system that can automatically generate web services from a service graph model, the SGT. The SGT automatically s web services by creating an abstract graph model of the services and then converting that model into implementation files. By converting the services graph model into deployable and executable web services, the SGT provides support for a greater range of tests than previous efforts that use service models to facilitate testing.
