Chapter 7 UDDI Servers Module : Overview of UDDI

Overview of UDDI

Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) refers to the protocol used by web-based registries to publish information about web services.

Businesses publish information about the web services they offer to public UDDI Operator Sites. This allows other businesses to locate and access published web services. TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks supports both browsing and publishing to UDDI registries that comply with the UDDI Version 2.0 API specification. See http://uddi.org/pubs/ProgrammersAPI-V2.04-Published-20020719.htm for more information about the UDDI API.

The UDDI Servers module allows you to define connections to UDDI servers and view the web services contained in the servers. If you have been granted access to publish your own web services, you can also use the UDDI Servers module to publish information about your business and the web services you offer.

Clicking the UDDI Servers module displays the UDDI Servers panel. You must add UDDI servers to the server list before proceeding with any other operations. The following sections describe the process for adding UDDI servers and the subsequent operations you can perform.
