Inquiry API functions in the UDDI registry
We can use the Inquiry API set to locate and obtain details about entries in a UDDI registry.
The Inquiry API is split into a number of functions, where each function requires some mandatory and some optional arguments.
The find_xx API functions can accept an optional findQualifiers argument.
To access all API calls and arguments that are supported by the UDDI v3 registry programmatically, use the UDDI v3 Client for Java. To access the API functions graphically, you can use the UDDI user interface, but not all functions are available with this method.The UDDI v3 registry supports the following Inquiry API calls:
find_binding
Locates specific bindings in a registered businessService. Returns a bindingDetail message that contains zero or more bindingTemplate structures that match the criteria specified in the argument list.
find_business
Locates information about one or more businesses. Returns a businessList message that matches the conditions specified in the arguments.
find_relatedBusinesses
Locates information about businessEntity registrations that are related to a specific business entity whose key is passed in the inquiry. The related businesses feature is used to manage registration of business units and subsequently relate them based on organizational hierarchies or business partner relationships. Returns a relatedBusinessList message that contains results that match the conditions specified in the argument list.
find_service
Locates specific services in a registered businessEntity. Returns a serviceList message that matches the conditions specified in the arguments.
find_tModel
Locates a list of tModel entities that match a set of specified criteria. The response is a list of abbreviated information about registered tModel data that matches the specified criteria. The result is returned in a tModelList message.
