getting all objects by a service

[thomas]

Hallo,
My Use Case, thats a long story. I tried to combine d-bus service with 
web services so that you can use local services as web services. 
Therefor I transform the introspect into an wsdl data. The endpoint of 
the service is an url to the server with the asked object. Example: the 
asked object is com/example/calObject so the url is 
http://localhost/com/example/calObject. Now if a Request is send to the 
url then I have to call the service that provides this object to send 
the request to this Objcet. And therefor i need a way to find a service 
by an object. My solution was to check all service if there is such an 
objcet and then use it. Is there a better way?

Thanks for help
Thomas
