jUDDI (pronounced "Judy") is an open source Java-based implementation
of a UDDI v2 registry and a toolkit initially developed by Bowstreet that
enables developers to build access to UDDI registries within their own
applications. jUDDI has been architected to allow it to act as the UDDI
front-end on top of existing directories and databases. jUDDI-enabled
applications can look up services in the UDDI registry and then proceed
to "call" those web services directly.
The BEA WebLogic Server UDDI Registry is a UDDI-compliant
registry for Web services in a private intranet environment
providing a standardized, transparent mechanism for describing
services using a simple method for invoking services with an
accessible central registry. BEA WebLogic UDDI is arguably the
most widely used private registry around the world, enabling
users and developers by providing rich Java programming
interfaces and easy to use and administer browsing
functionality, supporting version 2.0 of the UDDI specification.
BEA WebLogic Server UDDI registry includes the following
components:
- UDDI Registry Service integrated with the WebLogic
Server
- UDDI Administration and User Directory Explorer
- UDDI Java Client API
- UDDI Pluggable tModel
BindingPoint is an online resource for providers and consumers of XML Web
services. It features test reports, reviews, and ratings for all Web services
published in the UDDI Business Registry. You can also search for services,
test any service without writing program code, leave your own reviews, and
receive online support for any queries related to UDDI, finding and consuming
Web services.
Cape Clear offers a fully UDDI v2.0-compliant server as a
component of its Business Integration Suite. The UDDI repository
may be persisted on any JDBC-compliant database, including
Oracle. By default, the store is persisted on InstantDB. The
repository is a first-class Cape Clear server, and thus benefits
from the optimizations and load-balancing and failover offered
by the Cape Clear product suite to deliver highly reliable and
performant operation.
Interstage is an infrastructure for Web services and a J2EE-compliant
application server that provides organizations with the core components
needed to deploy applications on the Web. It provides an infrastructure
that delivers performance and scalability to enable enterprises to build
and run mission-critical applications. The flexible INTERSTAGE Application
Server supports multiple programming languages, open standards including
SOAP, UDDI, WSDL, RosettaNet, and ebXML, and multiple platforms for diverse
IT environments.
The IBM WebSphere UDDI Registry is a UDDI-compliant registry for Web
services in a private intranet environment. With the IBM WebSphere UDDI
Registry, Web services developers can publish and test their internal e-business
applications in a secure, private environment. It supports multiple users
in various department or company-wide scenarios, and also supports the SOAP-based
APIs defined by Version 2 of the UDDI specifications, and provides persistence
for published entities through a relational database. It includes a Web-based
graphical user interface that supports publishing and querying of businesses,
services, and other UDDI-compliant entities without programming.
IBM's WebSphere Studio Application Developer allows creation, building,
testing, publishing, and discovering of Web service-based applications that
support standards such as J2EE, UDDI, SOAP, WSDL, and XML.
The Web Services Gateway is a middleware component that provides a framework
between the internet and intranet environments during Web service invocations.
With the Web Services Gateway developers and IT Managers can safely "externalize"
a Web service so that it can be invoked by clients from outside the firewall.
Without this technology, users have to go through several programming and
deployment issues to make selected services available to clients outside
the firewall. Web Services Gateway is very useful when used with the IBM
WebSphere UDDI Registry. Users, while publishing the Web services in the
IBM WebSphere UDDI Registry, can publish the same service in the Web Services
Gateway so that it can be exposed for external consumption. This technology
will be invaluable in business integration scenarios where processes that
are exposed as Web services can be externalized to partners and customers.
Emerging Technologies Toolkit for dynamic e-business is a software development
kit that includes a run-time environment, a demo, and examples to aid in
designing and executing Web service applications that can automatically
find one another and collaborate in business transactions without additional
programming or human intervention. Included in the latest version of the
Emerging Technologies Toolkit, is a client run-time environment for client application access that
includes:
- UDDI for Java API (UDDI4J) which allows applications to perform
the save, delete, find and get operations against a UDDI registry (a
private UDDI or a public UDDI registry that resides on the Internet)
- A Service Registry API allowing applications to perform the publish,
unpublish and find operations against a UDDI registry
Artix 3.0 Service Designer provides advanced support for
defining and managing WSDL documents. Integrated UDDI
capabilities help users quickly publish WSDL for immediate
service deployment and discovery. Full search-by-field options
make it easy to locate appropriate service contracts in an UDDI
repository. For Enterprises that require enhanced qualities of
services including fault tolerance fail-over and load balancing
the Artix runtime supports publishing of dynamic WSDL endpoint
information to UDDI. This unique capability enables Web service
clients to quickly search and find the most currently deployed
instances of a target service.
Enterprise UDDI Services in Microsoft® Windows Server 2003 is
a standards-based solution for deploying a private UDDI registry
inside an organization or with trusted partners on an extranet
or private network on the Internet. UDDI Services helps
companies organize and catalog programmatic resources and
provides an efficient mechanism for discovery, sharing and reuse
of Web Services. For more information, visit
http://www.microsoft.com/uddi.
The Microsoft® UDDI SDK is a collection of UDDI client
development components, sample code, and reference documentation
that enables programmers to interact with UDDI-compliant
servers. Using this SDK, software developers can add web service
registration features to development tools, installation
programs, or any other software that needs to locate and bind
with remote Web services.
Microsoft® Visual Studio .NET makes it easy for developers to
publish and locate web services in UDDI. From the Start page of
Visual Studio .NET, a developer may publish information about
their Web Services directly to UDDI. As developers create new
services, they can make them known across the enterprise
directly from their IDE. Visual Studio .NET also automates code
generation for WSDL defined services. When a developer
integrates with an existing .NET Web Service or reuses interface
specifications published to UDDI, the WSDL definitions can be
imported directly into the Visual Studio .NET environment. By
connecting to UDDI through the 'Add Web Reference' dialog, a
developer may locate available Web Services and their protocols.
