UDDI registry SOAP service end points
UDDI V3 supports multiple versions of SOAP API services. Depending on the security settings for WAS and the user data constraint transport guarantee settings for the UDDI SOAP service, UDDI V3 supports different end points for different services.
The default context root and URL values that are listed in this topic apply when you enable WAS security and do not change the default supplied security settings. If you do not use the default security settings, the context root and URL values might differ (see Configure UDDI registry security for more information about the various security settings). In the following URLs, the variables have the following values:
- host_name is the name of the machine that is running the relevant profile.
- http_port is the internal HTTP port for the profile, for example 9080.
- ssl_port is the internal SSL port for the profile, for example 9443.
V1 and V2 SOAP API services
- Inquiry service
- Default (soap.war) context-root='/uddisoap' and url-pattern = 'inquiryAPI' or 'inquiryapi'.
Default URL: http://host_name:http_port/uddisoap/inquiryapi
- Publish service
- Default (soap.war) context-root='/uddisoap' and url-pattern = 'publishAPI' or 'publishapi'.
Default URL: https://host_name:ssl_port/uddisoap/publishapi or http://host_name:http_port/uddisoap/publishapi
V3 SOAP API services
- Inquiry service
- Default (soap.war) context-root='/uddiv3soap' and url-pattern = '/services/UDDI_Inquiry_Port'
Default URL: http://host_name:http_port/uddiv3soap/services/UDDI_Inquiry_Port
- Publish service
- Default (soap.war) context-root='/uddiv3soap' and url-pattern = '/services/UDDI_Publish_Port'
Default URL: https://host_name:ssl_port/uddiv3soap/services/UDDI_Publish_Port or http://host_name:http_port/uddiv3soap/services/UDDI_Publish_Port
- Custody transfer service
- Default (soap.war) context-root='/uddiv3soap' and url-pattern = '/services/UDDI_Custody_Port'
Default URL: https://hostname:9443/uddiv3soap/services/UDDI_Custody_Port or http://hostname:9080/uddiv3soap/services/UDDI_Custody_Port
- Security service
- Default (soap.war) context-root='/uddiv3soap' and url-pattern = '/services/UDDI_Security_Port'
Default URL: https://host_name:ssl_port/uddiv3soap/services/UDDI_Security_Port or http://host_name:http_port/uddiv3soap/services/UDDI_Security_Port
There is also an endpoint for using HTTP GET to return XML representations of UDDI entities, described in HTTP GET Services for UDDI registry data structures.
Additional information
If you configure the UDDI registry to use WAS security, and you do not change the default data confidentiality settings for the UDDI SOAP service, services with default end point URLs with HTTPS and SSL port require that their data is transported confidentially. Requests that do not use HTTPS are rejected.
If you configure the UDDI registry to use WAS security and you change the data confidentiality setting for the UDDI SOAP service to NONE, or you disable WAS security, services with default end point URLs with HTTPS and SSL port can also use HTTP and HTTP port.
To understand how access to the SOAP APIs is protected, see Access Control for UDDI registry Interfaces.
