Service Runtime – facilitates access to services, service repository and server code generation. Consists of both a client and server (Natural) component
Client Proxy – A Java or .NET class that can invoke a Business Service Server Proxy – Natural subprogram that connects service subprograms to
the Service Runtime Plug-in – An additional tool included in development IDEs that allow
developers to create Business Services and Proxy's Proxy Wizard – A Wizard accessible from a plug-in that generates proxy
