Figure 4-8

This illustration shows the relationships among the different components in the Oracle Dynamic Services framework. At the center of the illustration is the Dynamic Services Engine, represented as a box with text inset. Within this box are boxes with text inset showing the four components of the engine: input/output transformers, execution modules, protocol adapters, and the registry cache.

Just below the Dynamic Services Engine is the Oracle Internet Directory server, also represented as a box. And within this box are boxes representing the service and application profile registries. Lines connect these registries with the registry cache.

To the left of the Dynamic Services Engine is a box showing applications, identified as the Dynamic Services Client Library. A line connects this box with the Dynamic Services Engine. Also to the left of the Dynamic Services Engine is a box showing the administration utility. This box, too, is connected to the Dynamic Services Engine with a line.

To the right of the Dynamic Services Engine is a box representing resource providers, identified with the words "Web service, database service, other application." A line connects this box with the Dynamic Services Engine.
