45.1 Introduction Due to the influence of information technology, globalization and liberalization of the economy, today’s enterprises are faced with unprecedented challenges and changes. In this new economic era, no single company can meet the market demand by their own forces. In order to occupy more market shares, a new mode of economic operation named e-commerce communities came into being. The socalled e-commerce community, basically, can be seen as a group of enterprises based on common strategies, objectives and interests of the formation of the collection. Businesses and individuals in the community are responsible for a specific mechanism, and benefit themselves from businesses and individuals as well.

come from the industrial cooperation, or from the face of the common market segment and consumer needs. In such e-commerce business model, challenges have been brought to information sharing and process integration. However, as a result, enterprise information system integration and collaboration have been motivated [1]. Application system integration is the final rendering of the business process and data flow in the information system. During application integration, issues from the internal logic of the application system changes, interactions between all applications and application data format transforming between systems are often being considered. And commonly, under the process of enterprise development, application systems are varied constantly due to the development, import and modification of different business needs [2, 3]. Traditional application integration is usually invoked by Remote Procedure Call, and Shared Data Files, or the database. However, these modes are far from satisfaction in the performance of efficiency, integrity and system maintenance. When the system has some problem, it is difficul
