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. 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 Temporature, 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 values and click the Invoke button.
