Adding a Registry

Adding a registry is equivalent to creating a connector connection pool and adding a corresponding resource to the Application Server. This functionality is provided as a convenience, and enables Application Server to communicate to a registry, as described previously.

Add or remove a web services registry with Admin Console at Application Server > Web Services | Registry. Click Add to add a new registry to which to publish web services. The Add Registry Page appears. Use this page to create a Registry Access Point (RAP). For help on using Admin Console, click Help.

When you add a registry, specify the following parameters:

• JNDI Name: the connection resource pool (JNDI) name of the registry. The JNDI Name of this connector resource is the JNDI Name of the registry.

• Choose the type of the registry to add: UDDI 3.0 or ebXML.

• Publish URL and Query URL: the addresses for publishing and querying the registry, respectively. The format is: http://hostname/path-to-registry—installation. For example, http://localhost:7080/soar/registry/soap.

• User name and password for the registry (not required for ebXML; fields are disabled).
