Drilldown pattern for the UDDI registry

When we have a key for one of the four main data types that are managed by a UDDI registry, we can use that key to access the full registered details of a specific data instance. The UDDI data types are businessEntity, businessService, bindingTemplate, and tModel. We can access the full registered information for any of these structures by passing a relevant key type to one of the get_xx API calls.

Continuing the example from the Browse pattern for the UDDI registry, one data item that is returned by all of the find_x return sets is key information. For the business we are interested in, the businessKey value that is returned in the contents of a businessList structure can be passed as an argument to the get_businessDetail message. The successful return to this message is a businessDetail message that contains the full registered information for the entity with the key value that is passed. This information will be a full businessEntity structure.
