Browsing Services by XML Namespace

When publishing a Service, the Qualified name of that service (Localname + Namespace) is taken from the WSDL to which it refers. When hunting down a service and its component resources it can be helpful to focus on a list of resources grouped together under a common Namespace.

To Browse for Resources by XML Namespace

  1. If you are not already in the Browse Taxonomies control, click on the Reports tab in the upper left corner of the console.

  2. In the left navigation panel, click on the Namespaces node. This will load the Browse Taxonomies view.

  3. Select the record type that you wish to view by clicking its named tab at the top. The type of view that loads will depend on your general user profile. In an uncustomized Registry, you will be able to find...

    • Generic Services - These record types have only one standard view.

    • Services - Service record types. Most user will see a Default view.

    • Generic Resources - These record types have only one standard view.

    • XSD - XML Schema records.

    • Interfaces - Interface (WSDL portType) records. Most user will see a Default view.

    • Endpoints - Endpoint record types. Most user will see a Default view.

    With the Service, Endpoint, Interface types you can change the view with the view drop down list box in the top right corner of the list.

To Filter A List

  1. Select the column on which you wish to apply the filter in the Filter column list box.

  2. Enter the filter string in the Starts with edit box. Wildcards can be used. The "%" character is replaced by any number of characters. The "_" character is replaced by any single character. The "\" character escapes these and itself. The end of the string is treated as if it has a "%" wildcard suffix so there is no need to add a terminating wildcard.

  3. Click the Filter button. The view is updated with only those records matching the filter.

To Change the View

Simply select the desired view in the Result view list box. The default view options include Default, Summary and Technical. Other custom views can be added.
