Abstract:
The most essential aspect of integrating web services to create mashups is determining parameter bindings for the connected requests. However, binding multiple parameters from a large and complicated xml tree is something that has not been discussed in the literature. In this paper, we presented a multi-parameter binding algorithm for repeated and nested xml trees. Moreover, we are interested in context-based parameter bindings, for scenarios where the user selects a certain context node. The proposed binding approach allows for the automatic integration of methods, even when the binding data is inside a repeated group or deep in the nested level. As a result, we can generate navigation menus depending on the contexts for the bound methods. In addition, we present a method for generating navigation codes (context menus) for the mashup views, using the parameter bindings. To demonstrate the usability of the proposed approach, we present an example of a course registration system.
