thanks Claus,

 

As long as registry implementations allow all publishers to use the common API SDKs to do this then we are ok.

 

I assume search by keyValue must also be supported by all registries?

Hi Andre,

 

Enabling new categorization systems is a two-step process:

 

1. A new tModel, categorized with the keyValue "categorization" of the UDDI Types category system, is saved to the UDDI registry by using the save_tModel API.

2. The new tModel is referenced (by using its tModelKey) in a keyedReference within a categoryBag of a UDDI entity (businessEntity, businessService, bindingTemplate, or tModel) when saved with a save_xx API call. The keyedReference's keyValue, i.e. the distinct category, is mandatory in this context and must not be empty.

 

This is normative UDDI V2/V3 behavior and must be supported in all implementations. Whether or not it is additionally supported in corresponding UIs is not mandated by the UDDI specification. The specification only covers programmatic access by use of Web services.

 

Does this answer your question?

 

Claus

As we discussed on the call today again, it has been proposed we use categorization tModels for publishing as this would make certain UDDI searches possible.

We want to make sure that the main UDDI implementations allow adding a new categorization scheme without administrator intervention. [We know we can't do it using the Web UIs for some registries.]

The best way to check this would be to write a UDDI client that adds such a tModel (and we should do this) but could the SAP & IBM UDDI experts confirm that anyone with general publishing rights (add business entity or business service) can add categorization schemes?

Common registry implementations: IBM, SAP, Microsoft, Systinet WASP UDDI, ...

regards,
Andre
