Dear Hoang,

 

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly, but the notion of entity ownership is already defined in UDDI V2.

For example, in order to find out the UDDI entities a given publisher owns at a given node, you can use the get_registeredInfo API at this node. This API belongs to the Publisher API set and requires the given publisher to authenticate.

Also, in order to find out who owns a given UDDI entity, you can use one of the get_xx APIs at any node. This API belongs to the Inquiry API set and can thus be used by any user. The return structure contains two attributes, authorizedName and operator (for businessServices and bindingTemplates you have to navigate to the containing businessEntity first). The operator attribut indicates the node that has custody of the entity and the authorizedName attribute indicates the publisher that owns it. The interpretation of the authorizedName attribute is specific to the authentication mechanism used at the given node.

 

Note that the handling of operational info within the UDDI Inquiry API slightly changed in UDDI V3. There is now a distinct API (get_operationalInfo) you can use to obtain this kind of information.

 

Does this answer your question?

Subject: [uddi-dev] Checking the owner

Dear all,

 

Is there any mechanism to verify if someone (with user name & password) is a owner of a given node (business entity/service/tModel) ??? I did not find it in UDDI v.2 so I hope in UDDI v3 with Custody & ownership API set but also not found yet. My "bad" solution now is try to save the node (after getting it) to UDDI registry and verify the return (exception or OK).

 

Best regards

 

Hoang
