[0040] Key terms

[0041] Services: The services described in this application embodiment are divided into atomic services and composite services. An atomic service is one that cannot be further broken down into finer-grained services, while a composite service is a service composed of multiple services. Typically, an atomic service is a user application that has an independent entry point, can be triggered directly by a click, requires no installation, and provides one or more convenient services. A service engine can be used to flexibly nest and combine atomic services and composite services to form combined services that meet user needs.

[0042] The following detailed description of a service composition visualization implementation scheme involved in this application is illustrated with a specific example.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] This application focuses on how to improve the efficiency of service composition by achieving "zero-code" service composition through visualization in different application scenarios. Software visualization refers to visualizing software systems and related information through static, interactive, or animated methods, such as the architecture of their source code or metrics of their runtime behavior and development process. The purpose of software visualization is to support the understanding of software systems and algorithms, for example, by animing the behavior of sorting algorithms and analyzing and exploring software systems and their anomalies, as well as their development and evolution. One advantage of software visualization is that it can merge and correlate information from non-inherently linked software systems, for example, by projecting code changes onto the software execution trajectory. As an evolution of software visualization, low-code development platforms are development platforms that allow for the rapid generation of applications with zero or minimal code. Methods of application development through visualization, such as referencing visual programming languages, enable developers with varying levels of experience to create web and mobile applications using drag-and-drop components and model-driven logic through graphical user interfaces. For service composition, since the service development ecosystem platform is an open system, suitable environments for service composition visualization include integrated development tools, online open platforms, and / or customized management platforms capable of generating target service compositions. Service sources may include various types of services such as monolithic services, web services, and PWA services, as well as different service forms such as application distribution packages and application source code. Therefore, the visualization goal of service composition is to integrate proposed composite services from different sources and scenarios for visual abstraction. Through drag-and-drop interactive operations, the form of the service composition is constructed, automatically generating the service composition and corresponding service definition language source code, effectively improving the efficiency of service composition construction and reducing its difficulty.

[0045] Visualization tools for service composition involve both the backend logic implementation of the service composition business and the components of the visualization tool itself. These components include the merging of service lists from different sources, a service manager, a service composition controller, a service composition generator, and a service property editor. The backend logic implementation of the service composition business includes service creation bootstrapping, a service debugger, a service deployment manager, a cloud data synchronizer, a service package generator, a command-line toolset, and a service compiler. Furthermore, the interaction with the visualization tool involves local data storage to save different service lists obtained from different sources and in different scenarios locally. Therefore, as... Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of a service composition visualization implementation method according to an embodiment of this application. The method includes:

[0046] S1: Call the service manager to obtain a list of services from different sources and display it visually.

[0056] S33: Define the communication interface between the services after the communication connection is established.

[0057] S4: Call the service composition generator to save the visualization space and generate the service composition.

[0058] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the process of calling the service composition generator to save the visualization space and generate the service composition includes:

[0059] S41: Generate the service definition language source code corresponding to the service composition.

[0060] S42: Based on business requirements, load the service composition and the service definition language source code into the service property editor for editing;

[0061] S43: Regenerate and save the edited service composition and the corresponding service definition language source code.

[0062] Optionally, suitable environments for service portfolio visualization include integrated development tools, online open platforms, and / or customized management platforms capable of generating target service portfolios.

[0063] The solution in this application embodiment obtains and visualizes service lists from different sources by calling a service manager; it then calls a service composition generator to create a visualization space for service composition, and inputs the service visualization data from the service list into the visualization space for composition through drag-and-drop interactive operations; it calls a service composition controller to construct the form of the service composition; and finally, it calls the service composition generator to save the visualization space and generate the service composition.
