What is this?
Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) Service is
an industry-wide effort to bring a common standard for
business-to-business(B2B) integration. It defines a set of standard
interfaces for accessing a database of web services. As a pioneer of
web service implementations, we provide this web interface to the live
registries.
How to Browse/Search?
- Select an operator from the dropdown menu.
- Type in a string you want to searching for, and select one of the
categories.
- The result page contains the business descriptions and a list of
services provided. Click on the service key to see the
service details.
- One of the drill-down paths is
Business->Services->Service
Detail->Bindings->Binding Detail->tModel Detail
Where to Find Category Codes?
Some UDDI searches use numerical category codes, you can find them
at the
following pointers:
NAICS
UNSPSC
D-U-N-S
ISO
3166 SIC
How to Search Private UDDI Registries?
You can search private UDDI registries using our Advanced
UDDI Browser. The registry must be reachable from the
Internet.
How to invoke web services using UDDI?
The purpose of UDDI is to allow
users to discover available web services and interact with them
dynamically. The process can be divided into three phases: Searching
(discovery), Binding, and Executing. If a web service is created in the a
UDDI registry based on the Best
Practice Document, it can, in most of the situations, be executed
directly using our generic SOAP client. The following procedure shows how web
integration and automation can be achieved:
-
Select XMethods as
the operator and Search XMethods in business names.
-
Click on the Business Key
to see a list of SOAP services offered by XMethods.
-
Select one of the Service
Keys, for instance XMethod Temperature, for service
details.
-
Click on the Binding Key
to see how it can be bound.
-
Click on the Execute
Instance button to show a HTML form where you can enter
input values (Note: WSDL File is required for
the feature, this will fail if no WSDL is defined for the service).
-
Type in required parameter values and click the Invoke
button.
Note:
XMethods has a private UDDI registry that contains executable web
services. If you select XMethods as the operator, you will be able to
bind and run most of the services online.
