Use the UDDIPublish tool

After you have deployed and tested a Web service that you created with a command line tool, you can use the UDDIPublish tool from a command line to publish it as a business entity or a business service to a public or private UDDI registry. When publishing a Web service, the tool creates the necessary binding template and tModel elements in the UDDI hierarchy and associates the service with an existing business. By default, the tool publishes to the private registry. To publish to a public registry, see Additional Properties.

To create a private UDDI registry, select File > New > Other. Then, select Web Services and Unit Test UDDI from the lists.

Note:

• If you accept all default settings for the Unit Test UDDI, set the inquiry URL to http://localhost:9080/uddisoap/inquiryapi and the publish URL to http://localhost:9080/uddisoap/publishapi. By default, the inquiry URL is http://localhost:6080/uddisoap/inquiryapi and the publish URL is https://localhost:6443/uddisoap/publishapi.

• The Private UDDI Registry should only be configured with the Cloudscape database for very basic testing purposes (do not use Cloudscape for production work as there are currently difficulties with actions such as complex queries). For more information on the Private UDDI Registry, please refer to the Network Deployment documentation in the WebSphere Application Server InfoCenter.
