The Service Registry 3 2005Q4 User's Guide describes how to use the Web Console utility provided with the Service Registry (“the Registry”). The Web Console allows users to search the Registry for data and to publish data to the Registry. The User's Guide also provides troubleshooting information.
The User's Guide is intended for administrators and end users who search the Registry and publish data to the Registry. This guide assumes you are familiar with the basic concepts of the ebXML Registry and Repository specifications.
You should be familiar with the basic concepts of these specifications:
ebXML Registry Information Model Version 3.0
ebXML Registry Services and Protocols Version 3.0
You can find the latest public versions of these specifications by going to the OASIS web site and following the links to ebXML RIM V3.0 and ebXML RS V3.0.
Service Registry is available as part of the Java Web Services Developer Pack (http://java.sun.com/webservices/jwsdp/) or as a component of Sun Java Enterprise System, a software infrastructure that supports enterprise applications distributed across a network or Internet environment. If you purchased Service Registry as a component of Java Enterprise System, you should be familiar with the system documentation at http://docs.sun.com/coll/1286.1.
