HTTP GET Services for UDDI Registry data structures

The UDDI Registry offers an HTTP GET service for access to the XML representations of the UDDI data structures businessEntity, businessService, bindingTemplate and tModel. The URL at which these are accessible uses the entity key as a URL parameter. The XML element returned will be a businessDetail, serviceDetail, bindingDetail or tModelDetail, according to the type of entity key supplied. XML for both UDDI version 2 and 3 can be retrieved, at different URLs. The formats of the URLs to send the HTTP GET requests to are as follows:

For UDDI version 2:: 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 <server> = "myserver.com" and <port>="9080", then the uddi-org:types tModel can be accessed at the following URLs:

UDDI v2:: http://myserver.com:9080/uddisoap/get?tModelKey=uuid:c1acf26d-9672-4404-9d70-39b756e62ab4

UDDI v3:: http://myserver.com:9080/uddiv3soap/get?tModelKey=uddi:uddi.org:categorization:types
