Methods, apparatuses and systems that facilitate the classification of web services network traffic. In one implementation, the present invention processes interface definitions corresponding to a given Web service to construct a traffic classification configuration for the Web service, including one or more traffic classes and corresponding matching rules or attributes for each traffic class. In one implementation, the present invention automatically creates traffic classes and matching rules that allow for differentiation between the operations supported by a Web service. Implementations of the present invention provide a mechanism allowing for classification of Web services network traffic on a granular basis to enhance network monitoring and analysis tasks, as well as network control functions, such as bandwidth management, security and other functions.

A system providing improved methods for remote method invocation of a service is described. The system includes methodology for a client to cast, at design time, a generic interface class to a remote service having a defined interface. The generic interface class dynamically generates a proxy for making a remote method call on the remote service at runtime, while also providing for runtime type checking. Moreover, the generic interface class is subclassed to provide support for particular wire formats and methods of transport. The dynamically generated proxy converts a remote method call by the client into a wire format specified in the remote service's interface definition and calls the remote service using the method of transport specified in the interface definition. The system also includes methods to support making a service available to remote clients. The system includes modules that listen for remote method calls on a service and deserialize these calls into native format. This enables the service to be invoked by a native call in native format. The method includes reserializing results of the native call and returning these results in response to the remote method call.

A gateway between client manager applications and an enterprise manager may be provided to manage various networked objects. In one embodiment, CORBA-based TMN manager applications may be communicatively coupled to a CORBA Object Request Broker (ORB) and may be operable to send Interface Definition Language (IDL) requests to, and receive IDL responses and CORBA events from, managed objects through the CORBA ORB. The client manager may first be authenticated to the gateway by username and password, or other validation information associated with the client manager, which may be represented in a user profile. Once the initial client authentication is accomplished, the gateway may provide object-level access control between manager applications and managed objects at an individual object level so that one of the managers is granted access to one of the managed objects while being prevented from interfacing with a different one of the managed objects.

A system and method for authenticating users over a network. At least one pluggable authentication module (PAM) is used to authenticate users of network services. Each PAM includes a client-side authentication library and a server-side authentication library which may each be implemented in accordance with a specification expressed in an interface definition language (IDL), wherein the IDL is operable to define interfaces across a plurality of platforms and programming languages. The client-side authentication library is implemented for a particular client platform and deployed on the client computer system to provide a client-side interface to retrieve and encrypt a user profile. The server-side authentication library is implemented for a particular server platform and deployed on the server computer system to provide a server-side interface to receive the encrypted user profile from the client-side authentication library and decrypt the user profile to authenticate the user for network services. The client-side authentication library may be shared by a plurality of management applications and the server-side authentication library may be shared by a plurality of gateway components.

A system and method for managing network devices. The framework may provide a suitable system for managed object data type conversions between various data description languages, such as an interface definition language (e.g., OMG IDL) and an abstract syntax notation (e.g., ASN1). This conversion facility may be used in both request and event network traffic, so common libraries may be used. Two separate libraries may be used: a converter framework library and a converter implementation library. The framework library provides a collection classes that may be used by the clients of the converter libraries. Most classes in the converter framework library are handle classes (or wrappers) to the real implementation (or body) classes in the converter implementation library. Framework classes hide the details of the real implementation classes and provide a simple, consistent interface to any data type converter via IDL. The converter implementation library provides the implementation needed by the framework to function properly, and may allow various different mappings to be used easily by implementing them as plug-in modules. The combination of using IDL and generic typing provides an efficient, generic solution to mapping data types across multiple platforms, multiple programming languages, and multiple object classes.

The factory class creates a protocol-specific object of one of the protocol-specific classes depending on the protocol parameter. The object is returned to the object manager which executes one of its protocol-specific methods thus allowing communication to a repository using a protocol independent of the object manager.

A market making node in a network routes machine readable documents to connect businesses with customers, suppliers and trading partners. The self defining electronic documents, such as XML based documents, can be easily understood amongst the partners. Definitions of these electronic business documents, called business interface definitions, are posted on the Internet, or otherwise communicated to members of the network. The business interface definitions tell potential trading partners the services the company offers and the documents to use when communicating with such services. Thus, a typical business interface definition allows a customer to place an order by submitting a purchase order or a supplier checks availability by downloading an inventory status report. Also, the registration at a market maker node of a specification of the input and output documents, coupled with interpretation information in a common business library, enables participants in a trading partner network to execute the transaction in a way which closely parallels the way in which paper based businesses operate.
