UDDI References [Settings]

A UDDI reference describes the parameters necessary to connect to a particular UDDI registry.

To view this page in the console, click the following path:

Service integration -> Web services -> UDDI References -> UDDI-reference_name.

A UDDI reference is a pointer to a UDDI registry. This registry can be a private UDDI registry such as the IBM WebSphere UDDI Registry, or a public UDDI registry.

In the UDDI model, web services are owned by businesses, and businesses are owned by Authorized Names. Each UDDI reference gives access to the web services that are owned by a single Authorized Name in a single UDDI registry.

For more general information about UDDI and UDDI registries, see the UDDI community at uddi.org.
