Web service technology will provide a platform for dynamic e-business applications. This paper describes a framework for identifying, monitoring and reporting performance data of critical transactions within a web service using the Java ARM standard, a Transaction Definition Language (TDL) and a bytecode instrumentation tool. The data extracted using this framework is shown to be appropriate for dynamically selecting web services based on performance metrics. A case study is provided using Gourmet2Go, an IBM demonstrator of a dynamic business-to-business (B2B) application.
