With the progressive development of E-business, it takes on much complexity of logic rules, and has deep relativity with diverse technologies. Thereby, E-business is hard and urgent-solving research topic. To narrow the gaps between heterogeneous systems, the business subject generally has to choose suitable architecture to integrate different involved objects into an interactive entity. In recent years, peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies have attracted much attention in commerce domains because the P2P environment is constructed on a decentralized, network-based framework to improve Internet performance. Business-to-business (B2B) transaction means the direct exchange of messages between enterprises. Obviously, this requirement can be satisfied by P2P architecture. In this paper, we propose a SEAP (super Web service based P2P) framework oriented to B2B. In the proposed framework, Web service is used to eliminate the discrepancy (such as: protocols etc). This study adopts an effective manner to integrate both P2P and Web service, at the same time; it can better cater for the need of B2B.
