Composite application
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, the term composite application expresses a perspective of software engineering that defines an application built by combining multiple services. A composite application consists of functionality drawn from several different sources within a service oriented architecture (SOA). The components may be individual web services, selected functions from within other applications, or entire systems whose outputs have been packaged as web services (often legacy systems).
Composite applications often incorporate orchestration of "local" application logic to control how the composed services interact with each other to produce the new, derived functionality. WS-CAF is a Web services standard for composite applications[1]. A good example of a commercially available tool for composite application development is eDeveloper by Magic Software Enterprises.
Some examples of composite applications include:
