A Service Consumer (or requester) is a person or
organization that wishes to make use of a provider entity's Web
service. It will use a requester agent to exchange messages
with the service provider. [W3C] _ALT_ The service consumer is an application, component or other software module that requests a service from a separate application. The service consumer finds the service provider in the service registry, sends a service request and executes the service function. [BPC] |
