Web Services Gateway is a middleware component that provides an intermediary framework between Internet and intranet environments during Web service invocations. It includes a model for the management of services (deployment, undeployment, etc.) and "interceptors" (those pieces of code that act on requests/responses that flow through the gateway.) The gateway currently handles only incoming SOAP/HTTP requests (using either the Apache SOAP or Apache Axis engines), but support for more channels will be added in the future. At this time, requests passing through the gateway may be sent to a Java class, an EJB, or a SOAP server (including another gateway.)
