WSIL Files and UDDI Registries

Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) refers to the protocol used by web-based registries to publish information about web services. Web Service Inspection Language (WSIL) is an XML document format that is similar in function to UDDI but simpler in implementation.

Businesses publish information about the web services they offer using WSIL or to UDDI Operator Sites. This allows other businesses or other groups within a business 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. TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks also supports browsing WSIL files that comply with the WSIL 1.0 specification. See http://uddi.org/pubs/ProgrammersAPI-V2.04-Published-20020719.htm for more information about the UDDI API. See http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/specification/ws-wsilspec/ for more information about WSIL.

You can access UDDI registries through TIBCO Designer and TIBCO Administrator. TIBCO Administrator provides a UDDI module that allows you to browse and publish web service details. See TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Administration for more information about this module.

In TIBCO Designer, the Tools > UDDI menu brings up the WSIL and UDDI Registry Browser dialog. This dialog allows you to browse web services or publish the details of your web service. The following sections describe the tabs of the WSIL and UDDI Registry Browser dialog.
