Publishing Proxy Services to a UDDI Registry

You can publish your service to a registry and make it available for other organizations to discover and use. All proxy services developed in ALSB can be published to a UDDI registry. You can select the business entity under which you want to publish your service and you can publish a number of services at a time.

Before you can publish to a registry, you must have an account with that registry. ALSB supports interoperability with version 3.0-compliant UDDI registries. The configuration described in this section assumes you are using BEA AquaLogic Service Registry.

For information about setting up a user account in AquaLogic Service Registry, see the AquaLogic Service Registry User's Guide on the BEA AquaLogic Service Registry product documentation site.

Unpublishing a service from a registry is done from the AquaLogic Service Registry installation.

  1. Select System Administration > Publish to UDDI.
  2. You can only publish when you are not in a session. Exit your session to access the registries list. All the registries to which you have access are displayed in the drop-down list of selected registries.

  3. From Publish Registry Name, select the name of the registry to which you want to publish, then click Next.
  4. When a single registry is configured in ALSB, the initial registry selection page is not displayed as this is the default registry. The registry selection page is only displayed when two or more registries are defined.

    The Publish to UDDI: Select individual Services and Publish page is displayed, showing a list of ALSB proxy services and their locations in the project folder. Starting with the topmost project level folder, the details for name, type, and description are shown for all services.

  5. Select the service(s) that you want to publish.
    1. Expand the Project folder to see the proxy services defined. By default the folder and its contents are marked for publishing.
    2. You can select individual items to publish.
  6. From the Publish Services to Business Entity drop-down list, select the business entity to which you want to add the service in the registry. This is the business entity under which the service will be classified in the registry.
  7. Click Publish to publish the services.
  8. A confirmation message is displayed indicating that the service was published successfully.

  9. Click Publish Another to return to the Publish to UDDI: select registry page.
