UDDI4J

UDDI4J is a Java^(TM) class library that provides an API that is used to interact with a UDDI registry. This class library generates and parses messages sent to and received from a UDDI server. The central class in this set of APIs is com.ibm.uddi.client.UDDIProxy.

This class is a proxy for the UDDI server that is accessed from the client code. Its methods map to the UDDI Specification .

The classes within com.ibm.uddi.datatype represent data objects that send or receive UDDI information. In the business and service model, the data objects are also known as subpackages.

• com.ibm.uddi.request
  The subpackage com.ibm.uddi.request contains messages sent to the server. Generally, these classes are not used directly; rather, they are invoked by the UDDIProxy class.
• com.ibm.uddi.response
  The subpackage com.ibm.uddi.response represents response messages from a UDDI server.

For an illustration of how to use UDDI, see UDDI4J samples.

UDDI4J error handling

The com.ibm.uddi.client.UDDIProxy package contains the following Java exceptions:

• UDDIException
  UDDIException is thrown when errors are received from the UDDI proxy when invoking UDDIProxy inquiry methods. UDDIException can contain a DispositionReport with information regarding the error. APIs that do not return a data object provide the disposition report.
• SOAPException
  SOAPException is thrown if a communication error occurs or if the resulting data cannot be parsed as a valid SOAP message.
