Publishing and Finding Web Services Using UDDI

The following sections provide information about publishing and finding Web Services through the UDDI registry:

Overview of UDDI

UDDI stands for Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration. The UDDI Project is an industry initiative aims to enable businesses to quickly, easily, and dynamically find and carry out transactions with one another.

A populated UDDI registry contains cataloged information about businesses; the services that they offer; and communication standards and interfaces they use to conduct transactions.

Built on the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) data communication standard, UDDI creates a global, platform-independent, open architecture space that will benefit businesses.

UDDI and Web Services

The owners of Web Services publish them to the UDDI registry. Once published, the UDDI registry maintains pointers to the Web Service description and to the service.

The UDDI allows clients to search this registry, find the intended service, and retrieve its details. These details include the service invocation point as well as other information to help identify the service and its functionality.

Web Service capabilities are exposed through a programming interface, and usually explained through Web Services Description Language (WSDL). In a typical publish-and-inquire scenario, the provider publishes its business; registers a service under it; and defines a binding template with technical information on its Web Service. The binding template also holds reference to one or several tModels, which represent abstract interfaces implemented by the Web Service. The tModels might have been uniquely published by the provider, with information on the interfaces and URL references to the WSDL document.

To find an implementation of a known interface. In other words, the client has a tModel ID and seeks binding templates referencing that tModel.
To find the updated value of the invocation point (that is., access point) of a known binding template ID.

UDDI and Business Registry

As a Business Registry solution, UDDI enables companies to advertise the business products and services they provide, as well as how they conduct business transactions on the Web. This use of UDDI complements business-to-business (B2B) electronic commerce.

The minimum required information to publish a business is a single business name. Once completed, a full description of a business entity may contain a wealth of information, all of which helps to advertise the business entity and its products and services in a precise and accessible manner.

Business Identification—Multiple names and descriptions of the business, comprehensive contact information, and standard business identifiers such as a tax identifier.
Categories—Standard categorization information (for example a D-U-N-S business category number).
Service Description—Multiple names and descriptions of a service. As a container for service information, companies can advertise numerous services, while clearly displaying the ownership of services. The bindingTemplate information describes how to access the service.
Standards Compliance—In some cases it is important to specify compliance with standards. These standards might display detailed technical requirements on how to use the service.
Custom Categories—It is possible to publish proprietary specifications (tModels) that identify or categorize businesses or services.

UDDI Data Structure

The data structure within UDDI consists of four constructions: a businessEntity structure, a businessService structure, a bindingTemplate structure and a tModel structure.

The following table outlines the difference between these constructions when used for Web Service or Business Registry applications.

Table 10-1 UDDI Data Structure
Data Structure	Web Service	Business Registry
businessEntity	Represents a Web Service provider: Company name Contact detail Other business information	Represents a company, a division or a department within a company: Company name(s) Contact details Identifiers and Categories
businessService	A logical group of one or several Web Services. API(s) with a single name stored as a child element, contained by the business entity named above.	A group of services may reside in a single `businessEntity`. Multiple names and descriptions Categories Indicators of compliancy with standards
bindingTemplate	A single Web Service. Technical information needed by client applications to bind and interact with the target Web Service. Contains access point (that is, the URI to invoke a Web Service).	Further instances of standards conformity. Access points for the service in form of URLs, phone numbers, email addresses, fax numbers or other similar address types.
tModel	Represents a technical specification; typically a specifications pointer, or metadata about a specification document, including a name and a URL pointing to the actual specifications. In the context of Web Services, the actual specifications document is presented in the form of a WSDL file.	Represents a standard or technical specification, either well established or registered by a user for specific use.

WebLogic Server UDDI Features

UDDI 2.0 Server

The UDDI 2.0 Server is part of WebLogic Server and is started automatically when WebLogic Server is started. The UDDI Server implements the UDDI 2.0 server specification .

Configuring the UDDI 2.0 Server

Never edit the uddi.properties file while WebLogic Server is running. Should you modify this file in a way that prevents the successful startup of the UDDI Server, refer to the WL_HOME/server/lib/uddi.properties.booted file for the last known good configuration.

To restore your configuration to its default, remove the uddi.properties file from the WL_HOME/server/lib directory. Oracle strongly recommends that you move this file to a backup location, because a new uddi.properties file will be created and with its successful startup, the uddi.properties.booted file will also be overwritten. After removing the properties file, start the server. Minimal default properties will be loaded and written to a newly created uddi.properties file.

The following section describes the UDDI Server properties that you can include in the uddi.properites file. The list of properties has been divided according to component, usage, and functionality. At any given time, you do not need all these properties to be present.

Configuring an External LDAP Server

The UDDI 2.0 Server is automatically configured with an embedded LDAP server. You can, however, also configure an external LDAP Server by following the procedure in this section.

To configure the SunOne Directory Server to be used with UDDI, follow these steps:

Table 10-4 General Server Configuration
UDDI Property Keys	Description
`auddi.datasource.type`	Location of physical storage of UDDI data. This value defaults to `WLS`, which indicates that the internal LDAP directory of WebLogic Server is to be used for data storage. Other permissible values include `LDAP`, `ReplicaLDAP`, and `File`.
`auddi.security.type`	UDDI Server's security module (authentication). This value defaults to `WLS`, which indicates that the default security realm of WebLogic Server is to be used for UDDI authentication. As such, a WebLogic Server user would be an UDDI Server user and any WebLogic Server administrator would also be an UDDI Server administrator, in addition to members of the UDDI Server administrator group, as defined in UDDI Server settings.

UDDI Directory Explorer

The UDDI Directory Explorer allows authorized users to publish Web Services in private WebLogic Server UDDI registries and to modify information for previously published Web Services. The Directory Explorer provides access to details about the Web Services and associated WSDL files (if available.)

The UDDI Directory Explorer also enables you to search both public and private UDDI registries for Web Services and information about the companies and departments that provide these Web Services.

host is the computer on which WebLogic Server is running.
port is the port number where WebLogic Server listens for connection requests. The default port number is 7001.

UDDI Client API

WebLogic Server includes an implementation of the client-side UDDI API that you can use in your Java client applications to programmatically search for and publish Web Services.

The two main classes of the UDDI client API are Inquiry and Publish. Use the Inquiry class to search for Web Services in a known UDDI registry and the Publish class to add your Web Service to a known registry.

WebLogic Server provides an implementation of the following client UDDI API packages:

Pluggable tModel

A taxonomy is basically a tModel used as reference by a categoryBag or identifierBag. A major distinction is that in contrast to a simple tModel, references to a taxonomy are typically checked and validated. WebLogic Server’s UDDI Server takes advantage of this concept and extends this capability by introducing custom taxonomies, called "pluggable tModels". Pluggable tModels allow users (UDDI administrators) to add their own checked taxonomies to the UDDI registry, or overwrite standard taxonomies.

The following sections include a table detailing the XML elements and their permissible values, the XML schema against which pluggable tModels are validated, and a sample XML.

XML Elements and Permissible Values

The following table describes the elements of the XML file that describes your pluggable tModels.

Element/Attribute	Required	Role	Values	Comments
Taxonomy	Required	Root Element
checked	Required	Whether this categorization is checked or not.	true / false	If false, keyValue will not be validated.
type	Required	The type of the tModel.	categorization / identifier / valid values as defined in uddi-org-types	See uddi-org-types tModel for valid values.
