The Java WSDP Registry Server

A registry offers a mechanism for humans or software applications to advertise and discover Web services. The Java Web Services Developer Pack (Java WSDP) Registry Server implements Version 2 of the Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) project to provide a UDDI registry for Web services in a private environment. You can use it with the Java WSDP APIs as a test registry for Web services application development.

You can use the Registry Server to test applications that you develop that use the Java API for XML Registries (JAXR). (See the JAXR chapter of the J2EE Tutorial for more information.) You can also use the JAXR Registry Browser sample application provided with the Java WSDP to perform queries and updates on Registry Server data; see Registry Browser for details.

The release of the Registry Server that is part of the Java WSDP includes the following:

A Web application, a servlet, that implements UDDI Version 2 functionality
A database based on the native XML database Xindice, which is part of the Apache XML project. This database provides the persistent store for registry data.

The Registry Server does not support messages defined in the UDDI Version 2.0 Replication Specification.

This chapter describes how to start the Registry Server and how to use JAXR to access it. It also describes how to add and delete Registry Server users by means of a script.
