SERVLET-BASED ARCHITECTURE FOR DYNAMIC SERVICE COMPOSITION

A servlet-based architecture for dynamic service composition in which service configuration information is received through a communication network. A service template file, including service configuration request information, may be sent to a user and a service configuration response, including the service configuration information, may be received from the user through the communication network. Software components are dynamically selected and configured, based on the received service configuration information, to create a software-based service. The software-based service may then be executed on a server to provide the service for the user.
