HTTP GET services for UDDI registry data structures

The UDDI registry offers an HTTP GET service for access to the XML representations of the businessEntity, businessService, bindingTemplate, and tModel UDDI data structures. The Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) at which these structures are accessible use the entity key as a URL parameter. The XML element that is returned is a businessDetail, serviceDetail, bindingDetail or tModelDetail element, according to the type of entity key supplied.

XML for both UDDI v2 and Version 3 can be retrieved, each at different URLs. The URLs to send the HTTP GET requests to are in the following formats:

For UDDI v2:

http://server:port/uddisoap/get?entityKey_type=v2_entityKey

For UDDI Version 3:

http://server:port/uddiv3soap/get?entityKey_type=v3 entityKey

For example, if the server is myserver.com and the port is 9080, we can access the uddi-org:types tModel entity at the following URLs:

UDDI v2:

http://myserver.com:9080/uddisoap/get?tModelKey=uuid:c1acf26d-9672-4404-9d70-39b756e62ab4

UDDI Version 3:

http://myserver.com:9080/uddiv3soap/get?tModelKey=uddi:uddi.org:categorization:types

A number of UDDI node property and policy settings relate to the HTTP GET services:
