[uddi-dev] Multiple access points II

[Paul Sterk <paul.sterk@sun.com>]

Hi,

Second question regarding multiple access points per service. A proposal has come up to allow someone to register a service and have multiple accessPoints for the service.  The issue here is that each accessPoint points to a different service.

Let me give an example:

The service is registered as Bill of Materials.  It has two accessPoints:

Bill of Materials Explode
http://hostname/bomExplode

Bill of Materials Implode
http//hostname/bomImplode

These are two different services with different associated WSDL docs.

I am personally uncomfortable with this model because I believe that each businessService should be mapped to one service implementation. I feel that BOMExplode and BOMImplode are two different services and should be registered separately.

However, I would like here what your experience and opinions are in this area.

If this model is acceptable, how do you find a specific accessPoint programmtically (JAXR) in UDDI v2.0?  Do you use the tModelInstanceDetails object?

Any feedback in this regard would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Paul
