Dharmesh,

UDDI replication is part of V2, but last time I checked I don't think
Systinet's registry implemented it.  If you are using the latest version of
WASP UDDI you should be able to take advantage of its subscription and
notification functionality, which follows the design of V3 Subscription API.
Once you make the initial copy of registry data, you can subscribe to all
future updates and inserts that you will receive with your UDDI4J-based
process.  If you want to receive a complete copy, then you should be
prepared that Subscription API is not designed for that job and you will
have to engage in a fair amount of trickery to do it.  By monitoring the
changes in WASP UDDI you will have the ability to migrate the changes into
the mirror WebSphere registry as they occur.  This is *not* the recommended
way of replicating UDDI registries.

I cannot recommend a way to initially populate your WebSphere registry, but
I assume there are tools that help you do it in both WASP UDDI and in
WebSphere.  There are people on this mailing list who are more intimately
familiar with both of these products.  Hopefully they will add to my
statements.

If there are any assumptions you can make about the data in the registry
(i.e., whether all of it must be categorized in some taxonomy), then you
would be able to implement a less generic, but more efficient solution that
uses polling.

Regards,
Daniel
