Publishing an entity using the UDDI Registry user interface

Make sure that the UDDI Registry application is started, then display the UDDI Registry user interface as described in Displaying the user interface.

This topic describes how to use the UDDI Registry user interface (also referred to as the UDDI Registry user console) to publish businesses and technical models. To publish a service, first publish a business and then add a service to that business, as described in Editing or deleting an entity using the UDDI Registry user interface.

Activate the Publish tab by clicking it, or by clicking the Publish link at the top of the page or on the Welcome page.
To publish an entity by name only, use the quick publish section as follows:
1. In the Quick Publish section of the Publish tab, select the kind of entity you want to publish; business or technical model.
2. In the Name field, enter name of the entity.
3. Click Publish .
The details of the published entity are displayed in the frame on the right.
To publish an entity with more information, complete the following steps:
1. In the Advanced Publish section of the Publish tab, click the appropriate link for the kind of entity you want to publish; business or technical model. The advanced publish form is displayed in the frame to the right.
2. Enter the details for the entity in the advanced publish form. You can enter multiple names, descriptions, contacts or categorizations by using the relevant Add link. To add a categorization, first use the Show category tree link in the Categorizations section to display, in the pane on the left, a tree of categories (or taxonomies) defining the types of item to publish according to various classification systems. Expand the tree to find the category that you want, click the category to add the information to the advanced publish form, then click the Add Categorization link.
