Method and system for profile typing in batch loading documents into a service registry in a computing environment

1. A method of loading document files into a service registry, comprising:

employing a processor for profile typing document files for loading into a service registry of a computing environment;

automatically identifying a profile of each document file by:

identifying the profile of each document file from a set of service registry document types by performing introspection for a document file, wherein introspection includes parsing the document file;

providing a definition file including predefined file name patterns, wherein each predefined file name pattern corresponds to a service registry document type;

matching a file name of the document file to a predefined file name pattern; and

setting the profile of the document file to a service registry document type corresponding to the predefined file name pattern; and

loading the document files into the service registry based on their corresponding profile.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein automatically identifying a profile of each document file includes non-interactively identifying a profile of each document file.

3. The method of claim 1 , further including allowing user-specified service registry document types.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the computing environment is a service oriented architecture (SOA) computing environment.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

introspecting the document file to confirm the accuracy of the profile.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein automatically identifying the profile of each document file by introspection further includes:

parsing a first XML element of the document file with an extensible markup language (XML) parser;

determining a corresponding service register type for the parsed first XML element; and

setting the profile of the document file to the corresponding service registry document type.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the document files are batch loaded into the service registry based on their corresponding profile.

8. A computer program product for loading document files into a service registry, comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium including a computer readable program including instructions, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:

perform profile typing of document files for loading into a service registry of a computing environment;

automatically identify a profile of each document file by:

identifying the profile of each document file from a set of service registry document types by performing introspection for a document file, wherein introspection includes parsing the document file;

using a definition file including predefined file name patterns, wherein each predefined file name pattern corresponds to a service registry document type;

matching a file name of the document file to a predefined file name pattern;

setting the profile of the document file to a service registry document type corresponding to the predefined file name pattern; and

batch the document files into the service registry based on their corresponding profile.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 , further including instructions for automatically identifying a profile of each document file by essentially non-interactively identifying a profile of each document file.

10. The computer program product of claim 8 , further including instructions for allowing user-specified service registry document types.

11. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein automatically identify the profile of each document file includes non-interactively identifying a profile of each document file.

12. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the document files are batch loaded into the service registry based on their corresponding profile.

13. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein introspection further includes:

parsing a first XML element of the document file with an extensible markup language (XML) parser;

determining a corresponding service registry document type for the first XML element; and

setting the profile of the document file to the corresponding service registry document type.

14. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein service registry document types comprise one or more of: definitions, schema, policy, module, and extensible markup language (XML).

15. A computing system, comprising:

a service registry maintained in a storage device;

a profiling module that:

profile types document files for loading into a service registry of the computing system; and

automatically identifying a profile of each document file by:

identifying the profile of each document file from a set of service registry document types by performing introspection for a document file, wherein introspection includes parsing the document file;

using a definition file including predefined file name patterns, wherein each predefined file name pattern corresponds to a service registry document type;

matching a file name of the document file to a predefined file name pattern; and

setting the profile of the document file to a service registry document type corresponding to the predefined file name pattern; and

a loading module configured for loading the document files into the service registry based on their corresponding profile.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein automatically identifying the profile of each document file comprises introspection, wherein introspection includes parsing the document file.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein service registry document types comprise one or more of: definitions, schema, policy, module, and extensible markup language (XML).

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein introspection further includes:

parsing a first extensible markup language (XML) element of the document file with an XML parser;

determining a corresponding service registry document type for the parsed first XML element; and

setting the profile of the document file to the corresponding service registry document type.

19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the document files are batch loaded into the service registry based on their corresponding profile.
