WSDL Locate
This describes how to publish a WSDL file to BEA AquaLogic Service Registry. The implementation reflects the OASIS UDDI technical note Using WSDL in a UDDI Registry, Version 2.0. As shown in Figure 1, the technical note suggests a mapping between WSDL and UDDI.
WSDL PortTypes Locate
As shown in Table 1, “WSDL portType:UDDI Mapping”, each WSDL portType maps to a tModel having the the same name as the local name of the portType in the WSDL specification. The overviewURL of the tModel becomes the URL of the WSDL specification. The tModel contains a categoryBag with a keyedReference for the type of WSDL artifact and the namespace of the WSDL definitions element containing the portType, as follows:
The type is categorized as portType.
The namespace is categorized as the WSDL binding namespace.
WSDL Bindings Locate
In similar fashion, as summarized in Table 2, “wsdl binding:UDDI mapping”, WSDL bindings are mapped to tModels created for each binding, with name of the tModel gathered from the WSDL binding local name and the overviewURL again being the URL of the WSDL specification. Again, the tModel contains a categoryBag, this time with the following keyedReferences:
The type is categorized as binding.
The namespace is categorized as the WSDL binding namespace.
A portType category on the binding is used to refer to the portType tModel that was created for the WSDL portType (as described above).
The protocol and transport categories are set to the same attributes as described in the WSDL binding, such as SOAP and HTTP, respectively.
Table 2. wsdl binding:UDDI mapping
| WSDL | UDDI |
|---|---|
| Binding | tModel (categorized as binding and wsdlSpec) |
| Namespace of binding | keyedReference in categoryBag |
| Local name of binding | tModel name |
| WSDL location | overviewURL |
| portType binding | keyedReference in categoryBag |
| Protocol | keyedReference in categoryBag |
| Transport | keyedReference in categoryBag |
WSDL Service Locate
WSDL services are represented as UDDI businessServices. The name is a human readable name. The tModel again contains a categoryBag which this time contains the following keyedReferences:
The type is categorized as service
The namespace is again categorized as the WSDL binding namespace.
The local name is categorized as the local name of the service.
The businessService also contains a bindingTemplate:
The access type is categorized as the access point of the service.
The portType is categorized as the tModel of the portType.
The binding is categorized as the tModel of the binding information.
The local name is categorized as the local name of the port.
Use Cases Locate
BEA AquaLogic Service Registry supports the following use cases:
Publishing a WSDL file You can also specify how artifacts of the WSDL file will be mapped to the existing UDDI structures.
Search for a WSDL You can search for the WSDL file by WSDL location (URI).
Unpublish and republish the WSDL You can unpublish and republish the WSDL
